Canada’s universities and colleges are too reliant on precarious employment. Students rely on their teachers, and they deserve fair working conditions. Our country’s future relies on colleges and universities. They should be well-funded and strong. Visit education2025.ca. @caut.bsky.social
Politicians don’t get to dictate what is taught and researched at Canadian colleges and universities. Research and institutional funding shouldn’t come with political strings attached. Join us: education2025.ca

MUALA has reached a tentative agreement with the Employer! We've made significant progress on all the issues identified in our bargaining mandate. Members voted to ratify the new agreement on Thurs May 23. The Employer's ratification is underway and expected to be complete by Thurs June 6.
Today marks our first day at the table with the Employer. We're optimistic for a productive and collegial round of bargaining.
MUALA has a new logo! We’ve stepped away from our Employer’s branding, and have adopted this woodcut from McMaster’s rare book collection. It's giving: "In solidarity."

We've officially submitted our intent to bargain to the Employer, and will begin collective bargaining May 2nd. We're eager to table a fair agreement that addresses the inequities faced by McMaster librarians compared to our peers in Ontario and U15. For more details: muala.ca/wp/
