Special thanks to DFA President Dave Westwood for his steady hand during the recent month-long lockout. Long days, little sleep, setbacks & ultimately big wins - Dave never wavered. Our union is stronger as a result of his steadfast leadership. Caricature (by www.JillQuinnBabcock.com) #keepdalstrong

It's @caut.bsky.social Fair Employment Week. Becca Babcock, LTA @dalhousieu.bsky.social "I'd like to focus on my students, rather than worry about unemployment." Short-term contracts for long-term needs weaken the academic environment. #KeepDalStrong @ansut.bsky.social @cupe3912.bsky.social

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

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

Conciliation bet the @dalhousieu.bsky.social and the DFA starts today 9 am. One month ago today the Board walked away from conciliation. Let's hope they return to engage in meaningful bargaining, reach agreement, get students and faculty back to class! #KeepDalStrong @cautdefencefund.bsky.social

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.
