Wish I could be there in person, but still sending all my solidarity to NSCAD @cupe3912.bsky.social workers! #FairDealFriday

Solidarity rally today Friday march 6 at 11am with @cupe3912.bsky.social striking educators—their TAs are currently being paid $17/hr. Their instructors less than $5000 per course. This will be their first agreement- it has been 3 years since they were unionized.

Graphic says: HELP US RETURN HELP US RETURN TO THE TABLE JOIN US ON THE PICKET LINE! March 5th + 6th @11am GRANVILLE MALL 5163 DUKE STREET A strong show of support for the union puts pressure on NSCAD to come back to the table! FOR ONGOING UPDATES @cupe3912nscad www.cupe3912.ca

CUPE is outraged by the United States’ unlawful and lethal attack on the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. We are shocked that the U.S. military bombed this sovereign nation. This is a clear violation of international law and the UN Charter.

For SMU Part-Time Faculty, an important note: as we are waiting for the results from the ratification vote of the tentative agreement, we are for now at ten hours of strike pay (instead of twenty).

We're back at the table with SMU today! Let's cheer on our Bargaining Team as they fight for fair wages and fair work for SMU Part-Timer Faculty! We're also back at the picket line—all welcome, we love to see supporters.

SMU's upcoming Wellness Week doesn't do what a good collective agreement will—address real material issues, like low pay and stress from late contracts. We need a fair contract for a healthy workplace, not #UnfairWork!

A pink CUPE graphic that says: "SMU says this" followed by a screenshot of the staff and faculty wellness challenge And then "reflects their" followed by a screenshot of the text: "ongoing commitment to a healthy, supportive, and connected workplace" How does prolonging a strike fit with these words

If you think that part time faculty in Canada should be paid more than ~$26k/year teaching four courses, should get benefits, and should have a path to permanency, sign + share! We're on strike for what's already been settled at other universities. ❤️ @cupe3912.bsky.social forourfuture.ca

Academic workers are fighting for Nova Scotia’s future - can you help?

CUPE 3912 academic workers at Mount Saint Vincent University and Saint Mary’s University are on strike. Students risk losing courses, mentors, and the quality of education they deserve.

Going from a virtual picket to a roundtable about the right to strike in Canada/Québec back to a virtual picket and also co-working on two collaborative projects... solidarity is how we are starting the week! ✊ 🌹 🍞

WEATHER UPDATE: IN PERSON PICKETING FOR MONDAY CANCELLED The weather is looking potentially risky for picketers tomorrow due to rain, wind, and thunderstorms. Therefore, we will move to virtual strike duties tomorrow. Online picketing will be available for all members from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm.
