The more things change, the more they stay the same... An informative panel discussion on politcal interference in PSE that ON, AB & NS are dealing with, featuring the presidents of CAFA, @ocufa.bsky.social and ANSUT. Thanks for hosting, SOFA.

Tell SMU admin what you think about the fact that PT Profs at SMU earn less than minimum wage and have been forced to the picket line, impacting students' degrees! @caut.bsky.social @ansut.bsky.social Solidarity with @cupe3912.bsky.social SMU! win.newmode.net/canadianasso...

New venue for the @ccpanovascotia.bsky.social Gala Dinner Fundraiser in #solidarity with @cupe3912.bsky.social #MSVUstrike #canlab

Contract Academic Staff - they publish, mentor, innovate - all on precarious contracts. More than 80% of CAS surveyed consider their work vital to their university’s mission. Let’s treat it that way. #FairEmploymentWeek#[email protected] @dalfaculty.bsky.social@cupe3912.bsky.social

“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

It’s #FairEmploymentWeek & @cupe3912.bsky.social are on strike seeking: fair employment. CAS research, build community & teach. Yet over half juggle multiple contracts to make ends meet. Imagine the potential if their work was valued with fair pay & stability. #MakeItFair#ANSUTstandswithCAS

Screenshot and share this post to to your own page and tag MSVU and tell them CUPE 3912 Part-Time Academics deserve a fair deal now!

Contract academic staff have many names, but what they all have in common is a lack of job security and access to resources. Join the call for the fair treatment of contract academic staff. #MakeItFair #Fairness4CF @caut.bsky.social

Dal academic contract staff have reached a tentative agreement. MSVU CUPE 3912 members have failed to reach an agreement. SMU 3912 part time faculty have conciliation tmrw and are also strike ready. solidarity! #pse #halisky

It's @caut.bsky.social Fair Employment Week. Becca Babcock, LTA @dalhousieu.bsky.social "I'd like to focus on my students, rather than worry about unemployment." Short-term contracts for long-term needs weaken the academic environment. #KeepDalStrong @ansut.bsky.social @cupe3912.bsky.social

Behind every inspired student is a dedicated educator. Contract academic staff teach up to 50% of undergrad courses in some faculties, shaping the future despite uncertain working conditions. Let’s value their contributions. #ANSUTstandswithCAS @dalfaculty.bsky.social @cupe3912.bsky.social

#Solidarity with #MSVU PT Faculty who are trying to get a #FairDeal to improve their working conditions If you are in #Halifax, join them in solidarity today at noon at the Seton Building entrance. #canlab #cdnpse #MakeItFair @cautdefencefund.bsky.social @ansut.bsky.social @cupens.bsky.social

Contract faculty bring the world into the classroom — with research expertise, fresh perspectives, and lived experience. Yet more than 60% lack job security beyond a single term. Fair work for them means stronger education for everyone. #FairEmploymentWeek #MakeItFair #ANSUTstandswithCAS

Every year, contract academic staff teach thousands of students, & bring passion, expertise, & innovation to university classrooms. Nearly one-third of faculty appointments in Nova Scotia are on short-term contracts—but their impact is lasting. #MakeItFair #ANSUTstandswithCAS

Join the rally today (Aug 29) at noon at Killam Library, and send @dalhousieu.bsky.social the message that their B0G needs to bargain fairly. Students, staff and faculty deserve it.

Dal admin seems to be 'upping the ante' in the dirty tricks category. We stand with @dalfaculty.bsky.social in their fight for a CA that will help LTAs and support members on issues like workload, leaves & access to child-care . #KeepDalStrong

APPBUSA is working hard to get their employer (Université Sainte-Anne) back to the table. Send a letter (appbusa.ca) today to show your support. @caut.bsky.social @msvufa.bsky.social @stfxaut.bsky.social @cbufa.bsky.social @acadiafaculty.bsky.social @astfassoc.bsky.social @cupe3912.bsky.social

Happy to be there representing 1300+ of those unionized workers. #KeepDalStrong

ANSUT stands in solidarity with @dalfaculty.bsky.social as they endure an unprecedented lockout initiated by the Dalhousie Board of Governors. Read the statement of support: www.ansut.ca/2025/08/ansu... #KeepDalStrong @caut.bsky.social @cupe3912.bsky.social

@dalfaculty.bsky.social wants to negotiate. @dalhousieu.bsky.social BoG walked away from conciliation & called a lockout while faculty were still voting on their offer. ANSUT stands in solidarity with colleagues at the DFA. #KeepDalStrong

Bad faith bargaining at Université Sainte-Anne: faculty union urges admin to return to the table & reach a deal before school year begins. ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/218... @stfxaut.bsky.social @msvufa.bsky.social @cbufa.bsky.social @acadiafaculty.bsky.social @astfassoc.bsky.social

Good news for this morning - congratulations to the @cupescfp.bsky.social Air Canada component. www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

History-changing day for labour relations at @dalhousieu.bsky.social. Lockout of faculty could begin as early as Wed morning. Rest assured, DFA members are ready for what is about to happen. #keepdalstrong @cupe3912.bsky.social @nsgeu.bsky.social @ansut.bsky.social @caut.bsky.social

The last post in our series re: the Aug 11 letter from @dalhousieu.bsky.social Pres Brooks to DFA Pres Westwood. RESPECT, VALUE, RECOGNITION of faculty have NOT been reflected at the table. Dal must do better to #KeepDalStrong. @cupe3912.bsky.social @ansut.bsky.social @caut.bsky.social

1300+ faculty from across NS stand in solidarity with you @dalfaculty.bsky.social, and thousands more from across Canada. We're watching this poor treatment of your faculty @dalhousieu.bsky.social

The DFA Bargaining Team on the last day of conciliation, waiting to see the @dalhousieu.bsky.social Board's best and final offer. #KeepDalStrong @ansut.bsky.social @caut.bsky.social

DFA members making signs and building unity. Stay tuned for updates after Monday's conciliation meeting with @dalhousieu.bsky.social Board. #KeepDalStrong @caut.bsky.social @ansut.bsky.social @cupe3912.bsky.social

Last day of conciliation with @dalhousieu.bsky.social Board is Mon Aug 11. Seems like Dal plans to lock out faculty, cancelling courses/research conducted by 1000 profs, instructors, librarians, counsellors. Voice your concerns [email protected]. #keepdalstrong @caut.bsky.social @ansut.bsky.social

Looks like @dalhousieu.bsky.social will be the 1st research-intensive university in Canada to lock out its faculty ... Now THAT's gotta be good for your reputation! August 11, stay tuned. #KeepDalStrong @caut.bsky.social @cautdefencefund.bsky.social @ansut.bsky.social

DFA President Dave Westwood not optimistic there will be a resolution before the 14-day deadline of August 11. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... @caut.bsky.social @ansut.bsky.social @dalhousieu.bsky.social DFA trying to #keepdalstrong, but the Board won't come to the table.

On July 28, DFA Pres Dave Westwood asked @dalhousieu.bsky.social Pres Brooks to meet, get the Board back to the table. Her next 2 weeks are too busy. DFA wants resolution. Dal Board wants a lockout. Aug 11 conciliation meeting will tell the tale. #KeepDalStrong @ansut.bsky.social @caut.bsky.social

As @dalhousieu.bsky.social faculty are trying to prep their fall courses, the antics of the Board of Governors has forced them to focus on a possible lockout. DFA is ready to talk. The Board refuses. Link to media release in comments. @ansut.bsky.social @caut.bsky.social #KeepDalStrong

Picket signs arrived at the DFA office today. Hopefully we won't need to unwrap them! While our bargaining team wants to get back to the table and avoid job action, we will be ready if the @dalhousieu.bsky.social Board of Governors won't bargain. #keepdalstrong @ansut.bsky.social @caut.bsky.social

The Board @dalhousieu.bsky.social is jeopardizing the fall term. A mid-August lockout will solve nothing. DFA wants to continue bargaining. Is that too much to ask? Link to media release in comments @ansut.bsky.social @caut.bsky.social #KeepDalStrong
