Today, AASUA made the difficult decision to declare impasse because the Employer won’t commit to maintain our health and dental benefits plan.

In years now long past, Alberta’s government safeguarded education, research and innovation so the spark at the U of A could burn brightly. Now, chronic underfunding is putting that spark at risk.

It should not be a surprise that unions representing highly-skilled and internationally-mobile workers are successfully bargaining to regain wage equity with their peer comparators.

The era of concessions is over. https://t.co/C2W3qO0zvj

[AASUA President @AASUAPresident]

The @ualberta Board of Governors MUST defend the U of A’s institutional autonomy and academic freedom by speaking out actively and publicly about Bill 18. #abpse

Now that the province has returned to a path of increasing prosperity, we are deeply concerned researchers, educators, and most vitally — Alberta’s students — will be left behind.

Our thoughts are with our colleagues and the students at UWaterloo. There is no room for hate on campus — universities are critical venues for exploring ideas and the safety of students and staff at our institutions is paramount.

For the past several years, the govt has created a crisis in AB’s universities through devastating budget cuts.

With Budget 2023 funding not meeting inflation, #abpse will yet again shoulder what amounts to cuts, all at the expense of Alberta’s future.

The AASUA is donating $4,000 to support striking academic staff @MUNFaculty.

While it is disheartening to see multiple #pse employers pushing academic staff to job action this week, it is inspiring to see these workers are prepared to stand up for a fair deal.
