As the largest academic staff union in Canada, AASUA fights to protect our members' livelihoods.
The Government's attack on teachers puts all of us in jeopardy. Thanks to all who stood up today for fundamental rights and for quality education in Alberta. When teachers fight, students win.

The spark of innovation and learning burns brightly at UAlberta. But after one year of bargaining, academic staff have yet to see a fair deal that provides job security and competitive compensation. Thank you to all who rallied today to support the spark! π‘

Perhaps as the "first major Canadian university to embrace access, community, and belonging,"
#UAlberta
can give long-term, stable employment to the hundreds of UofA instructors and researchers trapped in short-term contracts. It's time to go beyond branding.
