Congratulations! #Solidarity works again.

"En plus de son salaire de base de plus de 393 000$, [Provost Manfredi] a profité d’une indemnité ponctuelle de 439 117$ réservée aux membres de la haute direction à compter d’un certain âge. '[Le] montant fait partie du régime complémentaire de retraite'" www.journaldemontreal.com/2024/12/06/s...

We know about employer intransigence and stand beside you! The news is not news without you!

We are heartened that the McGill Law Faculty Council today unanimously passed a resolution brought forward by our students concerning the intersection of #academicfreedom and security on campus.

Wonderful news!

Congrats 🎉 to AMASCS and to @apml-ampd.bsky.social for paving the way! #Solidarity #cdnpse #canlab

Despite agreeing 3 months ago to a negotiation session with @apml-ampd.bsky.social today, McGill University reneged and failed to show up. Resolving issues through good faith negotiations supports long-term institutional stability & growth. #NoContractNoCourses

In April of this year, McGill University agreed to meet @apml-ampd.bsky.social for 4 negotiation days at the end of summer. But today, in a cyclical betrayal of collegiality, the employer reneged on is commitment. 1/2 youtu.be/yeFZxjljeZg?...

Statement from CSSE: "The Board of Directors express their frustration with the senior leadership of McGill University, whose apparent lack of productive engagement with AMPL, the leaders of the encampment, and the Federation appears to have directly contributed to the current situation."

Today, we marched on the @mcgillu.bsky.social campus with colleagues and students from across Quebec and Canada in protest against the uncollegial behaviour of Deep Saini and Christopher Manfredi, both of whom refuse even to speak with us so that we can resolve our strike.

It's fire season at @mcgillu.bsky.social. 67 scorching days during which Deep Saini, Christopher Manfredi, Fabrice Labeau, & Francis Desjardins put out the fires that they lit: finances, encampments, buried bodies, and strikes. We are ready to supply a hose if only they would ask. #AMPL_AMPD_strike

Feel sorry for McGill President Deep Saini. He is having a bad day & is engaging in uncollegial actions. He is (rightly) blamed for the disaster that is #Congress2024, for failing to negotiate with student protesters, & for having unions spring up on him due to his poor management.

Registration desk for #Congress2024 is empty as colleagues & students from across Quebec and Canada join us on picket line to protest @mcgillu.bsky.social 's senior management - Deep Saini, Christopher Manfredi, Fabrice Labeau, and Francis Desjardins - refusing to negotiate with us in good faith!

Today AMPL and scores of supporters from academic associations across Canada will be picketing @mcgillu.bsky.social to protest Provost Manfredi's refusal to come to the table and bargain with us. #FQPPU #CAUT_ACPPU #NoContractNoCongress

With #Congress2024 starting tomorrow, come join us on the picket line. Except those to whom we granted a picket pass, all participating in Congress are strike breakers. Thank you CAUT, FQPPU & colleagues, staff, & students from across Canada for standing by our side. #NoContractNoCongress

Listen to VP Kirsten Anker, Peer Zumbansen (negotiator), Victor Muniz-Fraticelli (strike captain) on CKUT about our strike, ostrich-like behaviour of Deep Saini, Christopher Manfredi, Fabrice Labeau, & Francis Desjardins, & how we are more united than ever: ckut.ca/archive-play...

Compte à rebours jusqu'à ce que Deep Saini, Christopher Manfredi, Fabrice Labeau, et Francis Desjardins de @mcgillu.bsky.social seront prêts à négocier à nouveau.

Countdown to when @mcgillu.bsky.social is willing to meet with us again to bargain on our collective agreement.

Fabrice Labeau affirme que seuls les «cadres choisissent les cadres» à @mcgillu.bsky.social. Ces cadres ont échoué à plusieurs reprises à négocier avec tous: le gouvernement, les étudiants, les Peuples Autochtones et les syndicats. 𝗣𝗲𝘂𝘁-ê𝘁𝗿𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗹𝗾𝘂'𝘂𝗻 𝗱'𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗿 𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗿𝗲𝘀

Fabrice Labeau says that only "executives choose executives" at @mcgillu.bsky.social. These executives have a pattern of repeated failures in negotiating with everyone: government, students, Indigenous Peoples, and unions. Perhaps someone else should choose executives.

Nous voulions rester, mais @mcgillu.bsky.social s'est retiré des négociations collectives aujourd'hui jusqu'au 19 août. Le Christopher Manfredi insiste pour que toute convention collective soit contraignante pour nos membres mais pas pour l'Université.

We wanted to stay but @mcgillu.bsky.social walked away from collective bargaining today until August 19. Deep Saini and Christopher Manfredi insist that any collective agreement be binding on our members but not on the University. #BargainingWithoutBargaining #NoContractNoCongress #AMPL_AMPD_strike

The AMPL Executive condemns the use of force by the Montreal police, including the use of tear gas, against student protestors at @mcgillu.bsky.social. McGill consistently calls in the police to take action against its own students, faculty, & community rather than deal with matters itself.

Participants au Congrès 2024 : l'ensemble du campus de @mcgillu.bsky.social sera piqueté. Nous considérons que le fait de participer à un événement sans notre autorisation constitue une violation de la grève. Vous pouvez nous aider de diverses manières. Voir ampl-ampd.ca/fr/news-fr/f... #polqc

Those attending #Congress2024: entire @mcgillu.bsky.social campus to be picketed. Attending any event without a pass from us will be considered strike breaking by us & unionized faculty across Canada. You can support us in many ways. See FAQ: ampl-ampd.ca/news-en/faq-... #NoContractNoCongress

Il est temps pour Christopher Manfredi d'être raisonnable: négocier jusqu'à ce qu'un accord soit conclu. Il sait que nous avons accès à des millions$ en fonds de grève, que son échec à négocier a consolidé le soutien, & que nous avons un soutien écrasant sur le campus & au Canada.

Time for @mcgillu.bsky.social's Christopher Manfredi to do the reasonable thing: bargain until a deal is done. He knows that we have access to $millions in strike funds, that his failure to speak with us has consolidated support, & that we have overwhelming backing across campus, Quebec, & Canada.

Tomorrow is the day when @mcgillu & @LawMcGill will show whether they are committed to rebuilding trust & goodwill on campus or whether they want to further undermine them. We will be there to negotiate as long as it takes to solve the crisis. Will they? #AMPL_AMPD_strike

Demain, @mcgillu.bsky.social et la Faculté de droit montreront s'ils sont déterminés à rétablir la confiance et la bonne volonté sur le campus ou s'ils veulent continuer à les saper. Nous serons là pour négocier aussi longtemps qu'il le faudra pour résoudre la crise. Le feront-ils ? #polqc

La SCM / CSM apporte le soutien à l'Association des profs de droit de McGill, @apml-ampd.bsky.social (AMPL), en grève depuis le 24 avril. Pour démontrer notre solidarité, nous avons déplacé les événements en personne de notre colloque annuel hors du campus de McGill à Concordia et à l'UQAM.

The CSM / SCM supports the Assoc of McGill Law Profs @apml-ampd.bsky.social, on strike since 24 April, & respects their right to organize, to bargain collectively, & to strike. To show solidarity, we have moved in-person events at our annual conference at Congress from McGill to Concordia & UQAM.

Several associations organizing events at the Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences to be held in Montreal have asked us for information on how to help support us as we strike against @mcgillu.bsky.social. This is for you but see our full FAQ: ampl-ampd.ca/wp-content/u...

Already, 2/3 of associations normally participating in Congress have moved activities, in whole or in part, off the @mcgillu.bsky.social campus. In light of this, Federation HSS, why are not facilitating choice among your members? Why insist on penalties for doing the right thing?

Le Congrès est dans une semaine et @mcgillu.bsky.social n'a pas voulu nous rencontrer même une seule fois. A moins que Deep Saini et Christopher Manfredi ne fassent preuve d'initiative, nous tiendrons des piquets de grève autour du Congrès.

Congress is a week away and @mcgillu.bsky.social has failed to meet with us even once. Unless President Deep Saini & Provost Christopher Manfredi show some initiative, Congress will be struck & those attending will be considered strikebreakers unless given a pass by us.

We view attending Congress on @mcgillu.bsky.social grounds as crossing a picket line. Some in precarious financial situations may have to attend in order to have expenses covered. If so, we ask that you attend for as short a period as possible & speak out against Federation HSS & McGill

Academics across Quebec and Canada turn their backs on McGill University due to its unfair bargaining practices. We welcome this support from our colleagues and call on McGill to return to the bargaining table. actualnewsmagazine.com/english/expe...

Le gagnant du prix @mcgillu.bsky.social du meilleur organisateur syndical est Christopher Manfredi, qui l'a emporté par une voix sur Deep Saini. Fabrice Labeau a remporté le prix du meilleur joueur d'équipe & Francis Desjardins celui du plus grand progrès! Félicitations!

The winner of the @mcgillu.bsky.social Best Union Organizer of the Year award is Christopher Manfredi, who eked out a narrow win over Deep Saini. Fabrice Labeau won best team player & Francis Desjardins was most improved! Congratulations all! You all are proven obstructionists & poor leaders!

Francis Desjardins pousse @mcgillu.bsky.social à contrevenir à la loi. L'article 141 du Code du travail du Québec stipule qu'un employeur qui omet de "négocier de bonne foi ... une convention collective de travail" est passible d'une amende pouvant aller jusqu'à 1 000 $ par jour.

Francis Desjardins is causing @mcgillu to break the law. Section 141 of the Quebec Labour Code makes it an offence for an employer to fail "to negotiate in good faith a collective labour agreement" with fines up to $1000 per day.

Le verdict est tombé : les finalistes pour le meilleur organisateur syndical à @mcgillu.bsky.social sont Deep Saini, Christopher Manfredi, Fabrice Labeau, & Francis Desjardins ! Votez demain pour le gagnant devant le James Building à midi. Les résultats seront annoncés entre 13h et 13h30 !

The verdict is in: the finalists for best union organizer at @mcgillu.bsky.social are Deep Saini, Christopher Manfredi, Fabrice Labeau, & Francis Desjardins! Come vote for the winner Friday, May 31 in front of the James Building at noon with results announced between 13h and 13:30!

Il y a tellement de tromperies de la part de Droit McGill que nous sommes encore en train d'évaluer la section Négociation (mcgill.ca/law/profs/la...). Cette fois, il s'agit de la lenteur incroyable & indécente des négociations de @mcgillu.bsky.social , qui dépasse de loin les normes canadiennes.

There is so much deception by @mcgillu.bsky.social Law that we are still grading the Negotiation section of the FAQ (www.mcgill.ca/law/profs/la...). This time, we discuss @mcgillu's incredibly, indescribably, indecently slow pace of negotiations, far in excess of Canadian norms.

Les enfants savent qu'il ne faut pas blâmer les autres pour leurs erreurs. Ce n'est pas le cas du président de @mcgillu, Deep Saini, qui blâme le QC pour les coupures, les étudiants pour avoir manifesté, les Mohawk Mothers pour avoir empêché la construction et les profs pour avoir voulu négocier!

5-year-olds know better than to blame others for their mistakes. Not so for @mcgillu.bsky.social's Deep Saini & crew who blame Quebec for funding woes, students for protesting, Mohawk Mothers for worrying about lost ancestors & faculty for wanting collective agreements like everyone else in QC!

Encore une tromperie de Droit McGill. @mcgillu.bsky.social prétend nous avoir rencontrés 23 fois. Les cadres supérieurs ne peuvent pas ajouter ou ne disent pas la vérité. McGill ne s'est pas présentée préparée, a annulé à la dernière minute et n'a pas répondu à nos propositions.
