Dr. Jen M@awesomebiota.bsky.social · 10mo agoOh, hey! I’m still on strike as a CUPE Part-Time professor at SMU. Here’s a fun little graphic: according to Maclean’s Magazine, SMU is ranked #3 in Canada for small universities. How does the PT pay for faculty compare across the top 10 schools? Oh. Oh dear.
“The university @smuhalifax.bsky.social says dozens of courses have been paused due to the strike, but classes taught by full-time faculty members will continue as scheduled.” Dozens? Hundreds, actually👇 www.smu.ca/labour-relat... #SMUstrike @cupe3912.bsky.social @cautdefencefund.bsky.social
WLUFA stands with @cupe3912.bsky.social . Our @cautdefencefund.bsky.social, Cameron McKenzie, is on the picket lines in Halifax. PT faculty at MSVU and SMU are on strike for fair wages and job security. Their fight is about dignity and the future of public education. #Solidarity @caut.bsky.social

Large rally on the quad at @dalhousie.bsky.social protesting the admin's locking out of the @dalfaculty.bsky.social and the admin's union-busting tactics. #KeepDalStrong
The @dalfaculty.bsky.social returned to the bargaining table with the Dalhousie Board of Governors at 4pm ADT on Friday, September 12. Meanwhile, the DFA held its fourth rally on the same day. The union has been locked out since August 20th.
WLUFA stands with @dalfaculty.bsky.social as they continue to push back against a lockout that has now entered week 4. Our @cautdefencefund.bsky.social representative Cameron McKenzie was proud to march in Halifax today alongside faculty, students, parents, and allies. #KeepDalStrong #UnionStrong
The CAUT Defence fund is looking forward to the rally at Dal tomorrow. Folks joining from all over Atlantic Canada as well as across the country.
Conciliation bet the @dalhousieu.bsky.social and the DFA starts today 9 am. One month ago today the Board walked away from conciliation. Let's hope they return to engage in meaningful bargaining, reach agreement, get students and faculty back to class! #KeepDalStrong @cautdefencefund.bsky.social
Shout out to Mat Whynott of the Canadian Labour Congress for his ongoing support of our Truro picketers. Mat comes with subs, a smile, and his CLC flag to boost our picketers and to #KeepDalStrong @cautdefencefund.bsky.social
Join us! Friday September 12 for the Solidarity March starting at the Killam Library on University Avenue. Let's show @dalhousieu.bsky.social Admin and Board a level of solidarity they have not seen before! #keepdalstrong @ansut.bsky.social @cautdefencefund.bsky.social @caut.bsky.social
