It's really important that everyone understands that the #umfa2021 strike is about SO much more than salaries. There is a systematic issue with the austerity that our provincial government is implementing to (de)value higher education. #mbpoli 🧵(1/4) #umfastrike#cdnpoli
U of M students went looking for @minewasko at his constituency office in Beausejour this afternoon, and left a message on his window. They’re tired of being out of class and want the Minister to own up to his role in causing the strike
On the fifth week of strike I see people as determined as the day one. The strike will end and we will go back to do what we enjoy, but the lasting impression of this @umanitoba Admin will not go away. #umfastrike#UMFASTRONG#umfa2021
It was so uplifting today at 8 am on the picket lines to be joined by so many students! Thank you so much for all the support during this very difficult time.#umfastrong#umfa2021#umfastrike#studentsarethebest . .
Day 27 of @UMFA_FAUM strike at @umanitoba - the longest in the university’s history. 2nd strike in my career. 3rd and 4th for many of my colleagues. Thousands of faculty have stood in the way of decades of cuts, poor working conditions & government manipulation. Truly baffling.

Before the next speaker, students interrupt to ask why Fielding isn’t meeting with students to address their concerns about the strike, isn’t meeting with constituents. fielding tries to quiet them, says show respect. Students ask why he isn’t respecting them, won’t answer calls
