Friends and colleagues! My union (SMU PT Faculty / @cupe3912.bsky.social) has called a strike!
We are asking for a raise (we are some of the lowest paid in Canada, uni is offering 1%! 😱), our contracts before the term starts, and a path to permanency.

Nova Scotia has proposed legislation increasing political interference in universities.
Political interference in education isn’t just an American phenomenon. It’s alive and well in Canada too.
Politicians should not dictate the priorities of universities.

Premier Houston wants to make universities 'more accountable' by giving the education minister broad power to determine composition of university BOG, prescribe types of programs they offer and research funding.
