Ottawa folks: a chance to raise your voice against the outrageous announcemnet from the Ford government yesterday, which will increase the debt of low and middle-income students while giving the wealthiest students a break. Hope to see you there! https://t.co/nhfcNaE9QK

Think #precarity is mostly an issue that affects #youngworkers at the beginning of their careers?
Think again!

Great day at the CUPE Sector Council conference yesterday, talking pensions, precarious work, and the need for more funding for #cdnpse with the post-secondary sector. Looking forward to another day full of great panels and important discussions today.

Our new report, out today, reveals that Canadian universities are relying more and more on contract employees, creating precarious employment for their staff and impacting the educational experience of their students.

The University of Saskatchewan wants to make unilateral changes to pensions. Workers deserve to bargain the terms of their employment, not have them imposed. Show your support for #CUPE1975. Tell U of S to keep their paws off workers' pensions! https://t.co/i3KS4ox1gH #cdnpse

Disturbing. #cdnpse

Since 1985, government funding to universities has plummeted from 81% to 50%. As government funding drops, #studentloans go up. The federal and provincial governments must work together to reverse this trend and invest in #education. #OurTimetoAct #cdnpoli

#Solidarity with CUPE 1975, defending their pension rights at the University of Saskatchewan. The local voted last week in favour of a strike mandate. Now they move to a 60-day mediation period. #cdnpse

It's rather ironic that the guy who juked the stats to claim tuition isn't rising https://t.co/A9EmJ1MUYw is now accusing CAUT of trying to cherry-pick stats: https://t.co/Ggu8UaiBnY. Guess there's no problem in PSE Usher won't explain away... #cdnpse

Jusqu’aux années 1980, les gouvernements fédéral et provinciaux contribuaient à la hauteur de 80 % du financement des collèges et universités au Canada. Aujourd’hui, c’est à peine plus de 50 %. Il est temps d’agir. https://t.co/G15aY7ZJXI

[CUPE National @cupenat]

Until the 1980s, the Canadian and provincial governments were the main source of funding for colleges and universities, providing more than 80% of revenue. Today, it is closer to 50%. It’s time to act. https://t.co/k6vkQBwX11

“It takes a very heavy emotional toll on you...I basically have to reapply for my job every four months.”
Thanks to our friends @CAUT_ACPPU for this very important research on the realities of contract faculty. #cdnpse https://t.co/2L4d5rzzZk

[Mark Hancock @MarkHancockCUPE]

.@fordnation does not get to ignore the Charter-protected rights of working people in Ontario when it’s inconvenient for his political agenda. An attack on any CUPE members in Ontario is an attack on all 665,000 CUPE members nationwide. https://t.co/cB4l50mu3k

[CUPE National PSE @cupepse]

Two great days of meetings by @cupenat's National Post-Secondary Task Force. This group is a bunch of #cdnpse superheros, working hard for publicly-funded, universally accessible, high quality PSE across the country.

⚡️ “Dalhousie University offers excuses for massive fee for information request” by @ColleenatCUPE

https://t.co/n0sjXJiuPS

[CUPE National PSE @cupepse]

"Dalhousie University has told a national union that it will have to pay $55,000 to get the information it wants about the number of full-time & part-time faculty at the school. It has also told [CUPE] it could take almost a year to compile those figures." https://t.co/1jAUWJ6nh5

[CUPE National PSE @cupepse]

This is very welcome news, and long overdue, but should be made retroactive. Otherwise, there is still no transparency and accountability. https://t.co/8WNbGPZ3pg
