Our colleagues at the U of Lethbridge need your support. Join their letter writing campaign for a fair deal. ULFA members are paid an average of 15-20% less than academic staff at comparative institutions, and have some of the worst health benefits in the industry. www.ulfa.ca/take-action/

Great things happened on the picket lines. But students & faculty belong in the classrooms & labs doing amazing things together. Sept 23! (Found this mug at a thrift store just before the @dalhousieu.bsky.social Board filed notice of lockout - today felt like the day to post it) #KeepDalStrong

DFA members accepted the agreement/back-to-work protocol. @dalhousieu.bsky.social also ratified. Faculty will be back in the classrooms/labs with students Tuesday. Thanks to our members for their resolve, to students for their support and to unions across Canada for having our backs. #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

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
