We know about employer intransigence and stand beside you! The news is not news without you!

On Forbes’ biggest day of the year - the release of ‘30 Under 30’ - we have walked off the job in a 24-hour work stoppage in protest of @forbes.com continued intransigence at the bargaining table and repeated labor law violations. (1/3)

BREAKING! University of Pittsburgh grad students just voted to unionize with United Steelworkers, following the Staff doing the same in September and Faculty also doing the same two years ago. Pitt is now fully a union shop 💪 and I will this one time only allow myself to unironically say Hail 2 Pitt

Despite agreeing 3 months ago to a negotiation session with @apml-ampd.bsky.social today, McGill University reneged and failed to show up. Resolving issues through good faith negotiations supports long-term institutional stability & growth. #NoContractNoCourses

In April of this year, McGill University agreed to meet @apml-ampd.bsky.social for 4 negotiation days at the end of summer. But today, in a cyclical betrayal of collegiality, the employer reneged on is commitment. 1/2

Statement from CSSE: "The Board of Directors express their frustration with the senior leadership of McGill University, whose apparent lack of productive engagement with AMPL, the leaders of the encampment, and the Federation appears to have directly contributed to the current situation."

Today, we marched on the @mcgillu.bsky.social campus with colleagues and students from across Quebec and Canada in protest against the uncollegial behaviour of Deep Saini and Christopher Manfredi, both of whom refuse even to speak with us so that we can resolve our strike.

It's fire season at @mcgillu.bsky.social. 67 scorching days during which Deep Saini, Christopher Manfredi, Fabrice Labeau, & Francis Desjardins put out the fires that they lit: finances, encampments, buried bodies, and strikes. We are ready to supply a hose if only they would ask. #AMPL_AMPD_strike

Feel sorry for McGill President Deep Saini. He is having a bad day & is engaging in uncollegial actions. He is (rightly) blamed for the disaster that is #Congress2024, for failing to negotiate with student protesters, & for having unions spring up on him due to his poor management.

AMPL/AMPD @apml-ampd.bsky.social · Jun 12

Registration desk for #Congress2024 is empty as colleagues & students from across Quebec and Canada join us on picket line to protest @mcgillu.bsky.social 's senior management - Deep Saini, Christopher Manfredi, Fabrice Labeau, and Francis Desjardins - refusing to negotiate with us in good faith!

Today AMPL and scores of supporters from academic associations across Canada will be picketing @mcgillu.bsky.social to protest Provost Manfredi's refusal to come to the table and bargain with us. #FQPPU #CAUT_ACPPU #NoContractNoCongress

AMPL/AMPD @apml-ampd.bsky.social · Jun 11

With #Congress2024 starting tomorrow, come join us on the picket line. Except those to whom we granted a picket pass, all participating in Congress are strike breakers. Thank you
CAUT, FQPPU & colleagues, staff, & students from across Canada for standing by our side. #NoContractNoCongress

Listen to VP Kirsten Anker, Peer Zumbansen (negotiator), Victor Muniz-Fraticelli (strike captain) on CKUT about our strike, ostrich-like behaviour of Deep Saini, Christopher Manfredi, Fabrice Labeau, & Francis Desjardins, & how we are more united than ever: ckut.ca/archive-play...

Compte à rebours jusqu'à ce que Deep Saini, Christopher Manfredi, Fabrice Labeau, et Francis Desjardins de @mcgillu.bsky.social seront prêts à négocier à nouveau.

AMPL/AMPD @apml-ampd.bsky.social · Jun 9

Countdown to when @mcgillu.bsky.social is willing to meet with us again to bargain on our collective agreement.
