Following the recent Member ratification vote, WLUFA’s Contract Faculty Members at Laurier are set to make some gains, but there is still more work to do to address precarity and advance fairness for Contract Faculty across the sector. tinyurl.com/cfsmdoa @ocufa.bsky.social #Fairness4CF

Today is OCUFA's Day of Action in support of #fairness4CF. #ONPSE is increasingly being run on gig-style academic work, a result of years of provincial underfunding. The system is under strain, and students and faculty feel the impact. Read the op-ed ➡️ tinyurl.com/cfsmdoa

Congrats to @wlufa.bsky.social on making gains for their contract faculty unit in their recent round of bargaining. These are important steps towards ensuring #fairness4cf across our province and ending the gigifications of teaching in #onpse.

Too many contract faculty are hired term-to-term, paid less than their peers for the same teaching, & denied benefits. That instability affects faculty and students. Read the op-ed and join the call for #Fairness4CF ➡️ www.tinyurl.com/cfsmdoa @ocufa.bsky.social

#Ontario’s universities are the lowest funded in Canada, increasingly relying on contract faculty. @ocufa.bsky.social President Rob Kristofferson’s op-ed digs further into the precarious employment of our contract faculty. #Fairness4CF tinyurl.com/cfsmdoa

Walk into many Ontario university classrooms today and you’ll see a system under strain: overcrowded classes, overstretched instructors, and growing instability. More and more teaching is being done on short-term contracts. This is the gigification of teaching. 🧵 #Fairness4CF

Unpaid labour remains a serious issue for Contract Faculty across Ontario, especially as AI-related academic misconduct adds to instructors’ workload. Sustained public funding is needed to support fair compensation and working conditions. #Fairness tinyurl.com/cfsmdoa @ocufa.bsky.social
