Become a Vote Captain (VC)
Northwestern University Postdoc Union (NUPU-UE) is a group of your fellow postdocs and Research Associates at NU, committed to advocating for our rights and supporting each other as workers.
This is a critical moment for all Northwestern Postdocs and Research Associates. By voting YES, we’re taking a powerful step toward real improvements in job security, international worker rights, healthcare, fair pay, and the future of scientific research. To make this vision a reality, we need a strong election turnout — and that means building a team of dedicated Vote Captains ready to help their coworkers get to the polls.
As a Vote Captain, you'll play a key role in winning our election:
Scheduling colleagues in your group/floor to Vote YES on August 25-26th
Making sure they know when and where to vote
Confirming attendance at a voter meetup or polling place
No experience needed — we’ll provide all the training, resources, and support you need. This is a short-term but high-impact way to contribute to our union effort and help us win a strong voice at Northwestern!
