[LUFAPPUL @lufappul]

It is official. As of 12:01am, LUFA members will officially be on strike for a better, stronger university. 📢

Together we will win the contract we deserve. 🪧

[OCUFA @OCUFA]

Act now: email the Ontario government telling them to remove the unnecessary limitations on @lufappul's right to free and fair bargaining. Send your letter here: https://t.co/DOPbKIrXrd

Stop by the UWOFA office (Elborn College, Room 2120) to sign the Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations (OCUFA) “Fund Our Universities” petition!
If you can’t make it to Elborn, no problem. Connect with your steward, who will have a copy for you to sign!

Ontario’s universities have the lowest per-student funding of any province in Canada. The provincial government can address this embarrassing gap by funding our universities at $11.75 for the next 5 years.

University faculty & staff are the backbone of our postsecondary system. Great to meet with @OCUFA reps from @uwofa1, King’s & Huron. With record enrolment, Ontario needs more investment, not more red tape, to keep our campuses strong. #onpse #onpoli

[UWO Faculty Association @uwofa1]

📣 Faculty, librarians, staff, and students stood together for fairness, accountability, and the future of the campus community. The Rally for Arts and Humanities was just the beginning — we’re "all in". 💜

It’s @CAUT_ACPPU Fair Employment Week! 🎓 Contract faculty go above and beyond all out of passion, not pay. Join the call for the fair treatment of contract academic staff! #fairemploymentweek #makeitfair #onpse

Today we honour survivors of residential schools, their families, and the communities forever impacted.

Reconciliation lives in what we teach, collect, and research. We must choose to challenge colonial narratives, and make space for Indigenous voices and ways of knowing. #NDTR

[UWO Faculty Association @uwofa1]

📢 We stood with @OPSEU college front-line workers on strike today.

Chronic underfunding and short-sighted policies leave workers carrying the burden. Fair funding and a post-secondary system that values the people who make it work are long overdue. ✊#onpoli #onlab

[UWO Faculty Association @uwofa1]

Congrats to our colleagues @dalfacultyassoc on reaching a tentative agreement! ✊ Your strength and unity throughout this difficult round of bargaining are an inspiration to faculty associations across the country https://t.co/XqYtPSaYGH

🚨BREAKING: As @OPSEU college workers prepare for a province-wide strike at 12:01 a.m. Thursday, September 11, the Ontario Federation of Labour - 54 unions and 1 million workers - unanimously passed an urgent motion of solidarity.If you come for Ontario’s public colleges, you’ll have to go through 1 million workers first.

At the LDLC Labour Day Picnic, we stood with workers across sectors to celebrate solidarity 💪 We also spoke with the community about protecting & funding public higher ed. Strong universities need strong public support🎓

[Dalhousie Faculty Association @dalfacultyassoc]

Faculty - like Amy Birchall, Instructor in @DalhousieU Vet Tech Program - are concerned about the impact this lockout will have on students and the Fall term. Let's get back to bargaining! #KeepDalStrong @ANSUT_Tweets @DalStudentUnion

[Dalhousie Faculty Association @dalfacultyassoc]

History-changing day for labour relations at @DalhousieU - lockout of faculty could begin as early as Wed morning. Rest assured, DFA members are ready for what is about to happen. #keepdalstrong @DalStudentUnion @ANSUT_Tweets

[Dalhousie Faculty Association @dalfacultyassoc]

Short article on where were are because @DalhousieU Board refuses to bargain. Aug 11 is right in front of us. Start bargaining, stop jeopardizing the future of thousands of students. #KeepDalStrong @DalStudentUnion @ANSUT_Tweets

July 28, DFA Pres Dave Westwood asked @DalhousieU Pres Kim Brooks to meet, get the Board back to the table. Her next 2 weeks? Too busy. DFA wants resolution. Dal Board wants lockout. Aug 11 conciliation meeting will tell the tale. #KeepDalStrong

Our college system is in crisis. As the Conservative government refuses to act, our communities pay the price. A substantial, permanent increase in operating grants is the only thing that will stabilize the sector and protect our economy. #OnPSE #onpoli

10,000 layoffs and 600 programs cancelled—our college system is in crisis. Decades of government underfunding have pushed our system to the brink.

👉It's time for accountability and investment in Ontario's future. Sign the petition at https://t.co/IsNH37AM3I. #onpoli #onpse
