Congratulations to the @dalfaculty.bsky.social for their steadfast work to secure a fair deal for their members. We were proud to stand beside you every step of the way. Let's hope that the nonsense that was wrought upon you will never be witnessed again.

Israel is targeting children, more than 100 shot in head by sniper rifles and targeted by drones, according to foreign doctors. The West has toppled governments for nothing through the last 100 years, but it continues to sustain this genocidal terror state no matter what they do.

Senate must ask leadership to explain this Aug18 claim: "If a labour disruption is inevitable, then it’s in Dalhousie Univ’s best interest to move to that stage now"

Why was disruption "inevitable"?
What "interest" does this refer to?

Show Senate the evidence for this conclusion.

At today’s DFA rally, I was pleasantly surprised to see a silly meme I made blown up on a picket sign. Definitely adding meme famous to my CV. If I’m ever not locked out. Attached again for your consideration. I think it’s just as appropriate now.

Today, DFA Exec agreed to amend the complaint filed late Aug with the NS Labour Board. The @dalhousieu.bsky.social Board's attempt to divide the DFA members has backfired. We stand united in the fight to #KeepDalStrong. We welcome productive conciliation meetings on Monday.

Yes! Students were signing the #Solidarity banner on my picket shift this morning as well. Very pleased with their support and Dalhousie Student Union vote in support and solidarity. Hope to see lots of students at our Friday rally!
Grateful for our students.

Pics from the picket line today, incl. our #Solidarity banner that is gaining lots of student signatures (& special guests @hfxtidesfc.bsky.social). Students I spoke to are fully behind @dalfaculty.bsky.social & baffled by the silence of @dalhousieu.bsky.social board. Come back & bargain!

Names in hearts on a white fabric banner from supporters of the Dal Faculty Association picket.

Three people stand in front of a banner with "solidarity" written on it. They are holding signs related to the lockout of Dalhousie University faculty members by the Dalhousie administration. It's a sunny day and there are trees and buildings in the backgroud.

We have amazing, thoughtful students who understand very well what a university should be. #WeAreDal #KeepDalStrong

Instagram post from the Dal Student Union: dalstudentunion
“Last night, the DSU council voted to affirm its support for DFA members, reflecting that the strength of the university community depends on the well-being of both students and faculty.

We are strongly calling for the Board to return to the bargaining table and engage in good faith to reach a fair deal with faculty. Students, faculty, and staff are essential to the functioning of Dalhousie, and decisions that destabilize this community threaten the quality of education and well-being of students.

We, as students, know that an injury to our faculty is an injury to us all. Their fight is our fight, and we proudly stand in solidarity with the DFA.

Stay tuned for more DSU-led advocacy efforts and action-items!”
