DFA Members ... Let's show the students how much we appreciated their amazing level of support of our efforts! Join them this Thursday, Sept 18 for Student Sit in On the Quad. #KeepDalStrong

I would like to thank all the @dalhousie.bsky.social students (& their families), with special acknowledgment to the leaders in the #DalStudentUnion, for supporting us at @dalfaculty.bsky.social to #KeepDalStrong. It meant a great deal - we will work to ensure the semester is successful for you!

DFA President Dave Westwood was a guest on CBC Info Morning today. Great interview! #KeepDalStrong www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

As international student tuition revenues have now nosedived, it’s the people who work in Canada’s universities and colleges who are paying the price for years of this neglect as institutions suspend enrolments, cut programs, lay off staff, and implement hiring freezes. www.caut.ca/bulletin/the...

“One day longer, One day stronger!” A massive show of solidarity today! Keep Dal Strong @dalfaculty.bsky.social #InSolidarity #keepdalstrong

It's been almost four weeks since the @dalhousieu.bsky.social lockout of DFA faculty began. Progress has been made. Now, it's time for President Brooks to step in and get the Board to accept what is a fair and reasonable offer by the DFA. Let's get on with the term. #keepdalstrong

CAUT in solidarity! #keepdalstrong @cautdefencefund.bsky.social @stfxaut.bsky.social

Curtis Michael, Instructor of Indigenous Studies @dalhousieu.bsky.social and member of Sipekne’katik First Nations comments on his concern for students and missed opportunities. @caut.bsky.social @ansut.bsky.social #keepdalstrong

🚨 Greenwich & Kent staff + students woke up to hear from the news their universities will merge. This isn’t innovation, it’s crisis management. 👉 Members ignored. Students left in the dark. #ucu #WeAreTheUniversity

Global segment focusing on the impact of the @dalhousieu.bsky.social lockout on nursing. #keepdalstrong

DFA members Drew Bourret, Jen Frail-Gauthier and Tony Walker being interviewed on the exploitation of precarious workers in PSE. Short-term teaching contracts for long-term teaching needs does not keep any university strong. Thanks for the opportunity, St. FX Social Justice Radio. #KeepDalStrong

Happening now in the quad! The DSU and the DFA are hosting teach ins from 12 to 1! @dalfaculty.bsky.social

The @dalhousieu.bsky.social Board of Governors is NOT delivering on their mandate. These are a few of the more obvious areas in which they are failing the university community. What will they do to clean up this mess they have created? #KeeDalStrong

Conciliation bet the @dalhousieu.bsky.social and the DFA starts today 9 am. One month ago today the Board walked away from conciliation. Let's hope they return to engage in meaningful bargaining, reach agreement, get students and faculty back to class! #KeepDalStrong @cautdefencefund.bsky.social

What an incredible turnout at the rally for precarious #DFA workers #KeepDalStrong @dalfaculty.bsky.social #canlab #cdnpse

Me from Tuesday! The flag of StFX support waves unabated #KeepDalStrong

Wow, what a rally!!! $1 mill from @cautdefencefund.bsky.social , supporters from across the country, a groundswell of student support - @dalhousieu.bsky.social better come to conciliation Monday with a genuine interest in bargaining! #keepdalstrong

3rd DFA lockout rally. Happening now. #keepdalstrong

Full rally energy. @dalfaculty.bsky.social @umfa-faum.bsky.social @caut.bsky.social @cautdefencefund.bsky.social

@dalfaculty.bsky.social know how to hold a solidarity rally! @caut.bsky.social members from across the country; $1M donation from CAUT Defence Fund and the DFA letter to the BOG taped to the doors (locked, of course) Instead of teaching and research this will count as service to the profession!

Flying pickets from @caut.bsky.social and @cautdefencefund.bsky.social getting ready to hit the @dalfaculty.bsky.social picket lines! #keepDalStromg

Important message from @dalfaculty.bsky.social immediac.blob.core.windows.net/dfa2021/2025... We stand with you in solidarity and will be at the rally tomorrow. #KeepDalStrong

DFA was asked to drop this proposal for "interest arbitration". Accommodations for caregiving responsibilities seems like a reasonable ask of one of Atlantic Canada's "top employers". This is easily done and costs nothing. But @dalhousieu.bsky.social said no. #KeepDalStrong

Nova Scotia has very weak labour protections for those without a Collective Agreement (a union). If we want to attract workers in high demand we need to have improved labour standards. If you have ever felt like you do not have rights at work - join us! #halifax #workers #legislation #novascotia

Tell @smuhalifax.bsky.social Part-Time Faculty and Teaching Assistants need a fair deal now! win.newmode.net/canadianasso... #cdnpse #canlab @cupe3912.bsky.social @caut.bsky.social #MakeItFair #FairDealNow

Good news!

We have amazing, thoughtful students who understand very well what a university should be. #WeAreDal #KeepDalStrong

#solidarity with APPBUSA Strongly encourage all to send a letter of support.

DFA proposed a $500/yr increase in the Health Spending Account. About 60% of DFA members max out this benefit. This increase would cost @dalhousieu.bsky.social approx $300k/yr. But they wouldn't discuss it. The Board has saved $5.6 MILLION by having faculty locked out for 2 weeks. #keepdalstrong
