A thoughtful request for administration to negotiate in good faith by meeting somewhere in the middle. Members of UMFA who are on strike are hoping for this and increasingly frustrated and angry that we're not seeing it from our employer @umanitoba#mbpoli#umfa2021#umfastrike
Armed with a little more insight into the administration of a university and of how negotiations have gone, I have written another letter to the chair of the Board of Governors #umfa2021#umfastrike#umfastrong@umanitoba@umfa_faum @supportingumfa

OPINION: The strike is an awful situation for students, but it is one that needs to happen in order to make the U of M worth attending. It is important that students capitalize on this moment and demand the quality of education we deserve.

The UM admin claims that it has the best interests of students at heart. But days are passing, and it refuses to make concessions to reach a fair deal with UMFA that would see students and faculty back in the classroom. #umfa2021#umfaSTRONG
We're facing the same issue in Manitoba⚡️ “‘We’re on the brink of collapse.’ What eight Ontario nurses have to say on the state of a profession in crisis” by @TorontoStar https://t.co/vy37JSWeiI
This is a great resource for ACT and DBT clinicians who are interested in bringing more compassion training into their work! https://t.co/hXQGovWwo6 via @actwcompassion
This letter really nicely captures our concern and gratitude for students related to the strike. Administration can help students and end the strike this week if they are willing to negotiate. To actually negotiate. #umfa2021
This letter perfectly captures why so many UMFA members are angry and disheartened by the lack of respect we feel from our employer! #umfaSTRONG#Solidarity#uManitoba
#CAG_2021: At 5:00 pm Eastern today, please join us for the CAG2021 Closing Session and an Invitation to #CAG_2022 Regina, with a welcome message from Dr. Thomas Hadjistavropoulos @URHealthPsycLab, Chair of the CAG2022 Scientific Committee. @UofRAgingCentre
These brave early career researchers at #Umanitoba have outlined their concerns with recruitment and retention in this compelling open letter. In #solidarity with #UMFA_FAUM!
"The pandemic exposed gaps in our long-term care system here and across Canada, and drew our focus to seniors who were not receiving the dignified care they
deserve."
"We will recruit and retain the best possible talent to continue to serve Manitoba."
Words are meaningless without action. Remove the mandate that is interfering with recruitment and retention of talent at @umanitoba#umfa2021#fairdealnow#mbpoli#legmb#SpeechlessinMB
Does the University of Manitoba administration and provincial government not see these broader negative effects of failing to fairly compensate faculty? #UofMstrike
The effects of the decisions made by the Pallister government have finally come full circle as we see how not only has it caused the U of M faculty to suffer, but the whole province as well.
