SMU Part-Time Faculty have a tentative agreement! SMU PT members, check your email for more information. #SMUstrike #FairDealNow #cdnpse #canlab

REVISED picketing schedule for Thursday, November 13: 9:00 am - 4:00 pm Regular picketing at SMU and MSVU sites. ALL members are invited to join the MSVU line to support the negotiation committee as they continue to fight for a fair contract.

We're back at the table with SMU today! Let's cheer on our Bargaining Team as they fight for fair wages and fair work for SMU Part-Timer Faculty! We're also back at the picket line—all welcome, we love to see supporters.

The wage increase that SMU Part-Time Faculty are striking for is in line with what comparable universities pay their part-timers...and, more importantly, help these workers meet the ever-increasing cost of living! Sign here in support: http://forourfuture.ca/

SMU's upcoming Wellness Week doesn't do what a good collective agreement will—address real material issues, like low pay and stress from late contracts. We need a fair contract for a healthy workplace, not #UnfairWork!

If you think that part time faculty in Canada should be paid more than ~$26k/year teaching four courses, should get benefits, and should have a path to permanency, sign + share! We're on strike for what's already been settled at other universities. ❤️ @cupe3912.bsky.social forourfuture.ca

“Fighting for the right to a public university”, written about the Dal Faculty strike, also applies to @cupe3912.bsky.social's strike mandate, which can “be seen as strong resistance to right-wing neoliberal tendencies that strangle universities”. www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc... #Nspoli

Please send a letter to support our @cupe3912.bsky.social colleagues! Enough is enough! It’s time to take remember the mission of our institutions and who delivers it!

As a teacher I strongly support CUPE 3912 members on strike at Saint Mary’s University and Mount Saint Vincent because our students deserve the best education. They need professionals who can be there for them semester after semester, not maltreated temps.

Striking SMU Part-Time Faculty aren't just fighting for pay, they are also fighting for access to a pension plan and healthcare support—stuff employees should have access to! Sign to support striking Nova Scotia part-time faculty here: https://cupe.ca/for-our-future

SMU Part-Time Faculty are fighting for not just fair wages, but fair work—including the right to permanency. PT Faculty should not be required to re-apply to the same courses for decades! Support striking SMU workers here: https://cupe.ca/for-our-future

This is fabulous news. The deal was hard fought, and it has some huge gains that set us up well for future negotiations. On top of that, it’s definitely a relief to be able to plan Shirley Jackson lectures instead of strike tactics!

Members of @cupe3912.bsky.social are striking for a fair deal from @smuhalifax.bsky.social and @msvuhalifax.bsky.social , and need your support. Visit cupe.ca/for-our-future and take action to stand up for our future!

The union said its #SMU members are among the lowest-paid university instructors in the country and don’t have a health plan, pension, job security or a route to permanent employment.” #canlab #cdnpse #SMUstrike #MSVUstrike #MakeItFair #FairDealNow @cautdefencefund.bsky.social

“Hundreds of classes at two #Halifax universities have been suspended following a walkout this week by part-time faculty due to impasses in contract negotiations, with the union that represents them citing compensation and job security as the main sticking points.” #cdnpse #SMUstrike #MSVUstrike
