Naming statutory provisions correctly? The TTB knows how important it is to be precise and get things right! ✅

Including a little request for our good friends @McGill_LJ

Why we are on strike against @mcgillu / Pourquoi nous sommes en grève contre @umcgill.

#FactCheckMcGill: @lawmcgill says that winter grades will not be given until our members "have returned to work and assigned letter grades." Any grading outside grading season will be performed subject to a back-to-work protocol that must be negotiated between @mcgillu and us.

[@AMPL/AMPD @AMPL_AMPD]

#FactCheckMcGill: @lawmcgill's FAQs state that it will hold Convocation on May 29. @mcgillu has decided it would rather push students across a Convocation stage without proper transcripts, grades or approval of Faculty Council than sit down and negotiate a collective agreement.

[@AMPL/AMPD @AMPL_AMPD]

#FactCheckMcGill: @DeanLeckey claims that "[d]uring the strike, the FAQs are your authoritative source of information." The FAQs previously counselled an illegal lock-out, breach of a collective agreement, & breach of contract with federal gov't in respect of Research Assistants.

Friday 3 May 2024 marks 508th day since negotiations on @AMPL_AMPD / @mcgillu first faculty collective agreement began. Rather than getting it done in, what, 24-48 hours in a room, they dare suggesting to graduate our students without grades.

[Peer Zumbansen @PZumbansen]

Home, sick with heavier-than-1st-time #covid I am frustrated+angered about @mcgillu and @LawMcGill admins to wage an attrition war against @AMPL_AMPD and our 100% reasonable demands for #2CenturiesOverdue collegial governance.

[@AMPL/AMPD @AMPL_AMPD]

#McGillFactCheck: McGill says students will graduate on time. Days until @LawMcGill graduation: 25. Days until @mcgillu has agreed to sit down to restart negotiations on a collective agreement: 34. Any graduation list not approved by our members in Faculty Council is 'false'.

[Dennis Wendt @dennis_wendt]

Putting aside demands of current protests, the underlying problem, across academia, is the problem of an overpaid, intransigent, managerial class that wants to wall itself from the world and take home half a million or more dollars a year. Let's take back the academy.

We are thrilled beyond words to receive $1,000,000 from the CAUT Defence Fund to support our strike and efforts to conclude a fair collective agreement that will serve as a model for Education, Arts and others,

[@AMPL/AMPD @AMPL_AMPD]

#FactCheckMcGill: According to @mtlgazette, @mcgillu claims that it "will continue negotiating with AMPL to reach an agreement." McGill has refused to schedule any negotiating sessions before June 7. https://t.co/Z8tDeVEMEm @LawMcGill #polqc

Great day of thought exchange/ learning with colleagues, students + Union friends, but saddened we had to take to a strike. We joined and remain in Academia for the love of teaching, learning + sharing this commitment with colleagues + students. @AMPL_AMPD @LawMcGill

[Peer Zumbansen @PZumbansen]

…and long overdue unionization efforts in other McGill departments, professors, the students and a growing number of employers of McGill graduates ask: ”What is the goal of this hard anti-union line?“ @LawMcGill @AMPL_AMPD
