How do I determine if my postdoc will be unionized?

In order to determine if a postdoc will be unionized, we must look at the funding structure of the fellowship. If 50% or more of the minimum salary will be paid through the supervisor’s research fund, the postdoc is considered unionized.

If the postdoc comes with their own funding (the funding is directly in their name), they will be considered non-unionized.
