What’s an other name for “any public sector worker in Manitoba”?

A sad picket meeting today. A number of senior UMFA members in my group are actively planning early retirement or looking for other jobs. I don't think @umanitoba admin realizes how their actions make us feel undervalued! People are fed up. #umfa2021 @UMFA_FAUM

UMFA’s economic impact: U of M researchers made it possible to grow canola as a commercial crop, letting Manitoba export $1.88 billion of canola last year — many times what the province spent on U of M faculty. #umfa2021 #umfastrike

[Jill Stobart @JillStobart]

I can not believe that Mr. Fielding keeps calling University students "children". Are his kids currently University students or something? @pcmanitoba #umfa2021

[UofM Faculty Assoc. @UMFA_FAUM]

The government says it will repeal the PSSA, but the restrictive wage mandate it has imposed on the UofM remains. Contact University of Manitoba President Michael Benarroch: 204-474-9345 and [email protected]. Tell him to reject the mandate & agree to UMFA’s terms. #umfa2021

Uplifting picket and chatter today at legislature, holding the line with colleagues @Librarian_M @SeancBuchanan @sevcooper. @UMFA_FAUM members in good spirits and proud of amazing solidarity so far. Misleading comms by @umanitoba only strengthening resolve. #umfaSTRONG #umfa2021

Today's picket line leaflet. Those numbers speak volumes. #umfa2021 #umfastrike #fairdealnow

Lost of dis- and misinformation about salaries in the UMFA strike. I prefer perspective. Here's some perspective:

[Andrew R. Hatala @andrew_hatala]

Anyone else intrigued that the UM VP External in charge of communications “resigned” from @umanitoba today?🤔

A coincidence, or a form of "acknowledgement" for unfair and misleading tactics?

Today I’ve been visiting #UMFA2021 virtual picketers!
I came back to my desk - and look what I found!!!! After posting about the lack of sequins on my toque.
Thank you secret strike fairy, whoever you are!

[President @UMFAPres]

Debut of the newest picket signs!
Now when we visit the virtual pickets we won’t look like we’re in a holding cell.

[K. Levasseur @KarineHopps]

Good morning @HStefansonMB!! @UMFA_FAUM has been calling your office repeatedly asking to meet with you. Will you respond and agree to meet with us? The relationship between the UM and the @PCcaucus government needs to be repaired too. #umfa2021

[Jennifer Chen @JenFortRichmond]

As an alumna, I am supporting @UMFA_FAUM and supporting a fair deal for UM faculty members. The university administration needs to invest in faculty and students. #umfa2021

[UofM Faculty Assoc. @UMFA_FAUM]

Thank you to each and every one of you who came out to the rally today and gave your support in UMFA members' fight for a fair deal. We're sure the admin heard us today, but the big question is: will they listen?
