PhD Candidates
Tekna is a natural choice for all PhD candidates who are pursuing their degrees in STEM subjects. We work hard to ensure that they’ll be taken care of in the same way as other employees. For instance, we believe that PhD candidates and other temporary employees must be included in annual local collective bargaining negotiations.
Although PhD candidates have full access to Tekna’s membership services, they pay only 25 percent of regular membership dues.
