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!
