The Israeli army put in a system of spatial control by reshaping the area they call the ‘north’ through acts of both destruction and construction. The destruction of buildings and fields lays the ground for the construction of new roads that act as wedges to force people out.
This is easier said than done, particularly considering that Colleges and Universities are themselves becoming exemplars of neoliberalism https://t.co/8VF6FYb446 via @NYTOpinion
Timely, excellent insight from @memomiller - a compelling example of how much we need https://t.co/d0kiJMHC6x | The Everywhere Border: Trying to Understand the 9/11 Legacy https://t.co/t9liMy99TA
Our bargaining team heads to the negotiation table today with a strong mandate to protect academic freedom, demand fair and equitable compensation and sustainable workloads.
Good working conditions for faculty mean good educational experiences for students.
#StrongerTogether
KUCFA stands with CUPE 5265 representing part-time faculty members as they continue negotiations with King’s. In our demands for fair and equitable contracts, we are stronger together!!
Let me be very clear: @KUCFA do NOT want to strike.
But faculty working conditions are student learning conditions. Those conditions matter.
We are seeking protections for academic freedom and to strengthen our programs so we can do the job that students expect.
Faculty @kucfa DO NOT want to strike, but administration has put us in the position to have to plan for one.
We want to negotiate. We will come to the table prepared.
Faculty working conditions are student learning conditions. We care deeply about our students.
King’s faculty @kucfa do not want to strike. We want to negotiate in good faith.
That said, negotiations have brought faculty to the point that we need to plan for strike action.
Let’s hope King’s comes to the table prepared.
96% of KUCFA members vote in favour of a strike mandate.
This greatly assists the Collective Bargaining Committee to advance the interests of KUCFA members at the negotiation table.
