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!

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!

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.
