We aimed to unionize 45 law professors at #McGill. We ended up facilitating the unionization of over 500. #solidarity @AMPE_AMPE, @CAUT_ACPPU @FQPPU

“One lesson stands out above all others: when we fight, we win!"
After a months-long strike, @AMPL_AMPD has an agreement with McGill whereby the challenges to AMPL's certification and the unionization of other faculties will be dropped.
Read our statement: https://t.co/aEYC3kdeOK

[@AMPL/AMPD @AMPL_AMPD]

As required by the Memorandum of Understanding, @mcgillu dropped its action to decertify our union today. This attempt to decertify us was a central reason we gave for our strike since the beginning. See: https://t.co/kIhtvUpvD2

"In an upbeat statement, AMPL President Evan Fox-Decent said, “This is a win for everyone at McGill. Through our first collective agreement, we will set a pattern that will serve all McGill professors, students, and staff into the future.” https://t.co/Db6DVSBysq via @mtlgazette

[CAUT/ACPPU @CAUT_ACPPU]

This year will be an active one for academic staff associations. We are committed to supporting our members demanding fair compensation, collegial governance, and, as with @AMPL_AMPD, the basic right to form a union and bargain collectively.

[CUASA - Carleton U Academic Staff Association @cuasa]

CUASA stands in solidarity with our colleagues
@AMPL_AMPD as they resume their strike today.

[@AMPL/AMPD @AMPL_AMPD]

We are watching for @YorkUniversity forcing @YUFAyorku to go on strike. We are also watching @mcgillu forcing us to strike at the start of the academic year.

[Derek Silva (derekcrim.bsky.social) @Derekcrim]

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.
