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!

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👇

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

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

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

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
