“You feel the insults when you want to ask for help, when you want to ask for something.”
For too long, SFU’s contract workers have been demanding safe working conditions. It’s past time for dignity for all who keep our campuses running! https://t.co/rU63xeT0Ow
TSSU Members,
The Labour Relations Board (LRB) has ruled: graduate student RAs are workers and now included in TSSU's certification.

A piece on the event marking the passing of Kulbir Kaila.
Kulbir was assigned twice the usual area to clean by the contractor Best, which has intensified work after laying off staff last year.
Justice for Kulbir. Direct employment for cleaners @SFU

The @CBCNews put together an excellent story on yesterday's memorial for Kulbir Kaila at SFU Burnaby, with words from her family.
Please take a few minutes to watch and share.
Justice for Kulbir. Never again. End the contracting out NOW, @SFU. https://t.co/aPeUDTYacd
Yesterday we gathered to honour Kulbir Kaila and demand justice for her and other contract workers on campus.
Today and every day going forward we will organize until @SFU takes these cleaners into direct employment.
Join us next week to honour Kulbir Kaila, a CUPE 3338 cleaner who passed away on the job.
Speakers include her family, CUPE 3338 reps, & MLA Rohini Arora.
Dignity, safety, & direct employment for ALL @SFU workers! ✊🏽

SOLIDARITY to the University College London @IWGBunion cleaners who are on strike against their contractor Sodexo.
Their struggle is our struggle. Direct employment for front line university workers now! Contractors off our campuses!

Did you find this tweet in a crackerjack box Ken? Your lack of imagination is consistent with your leadership, but it takes zero away from the joy of this event and the rising tide of global solidarity it is a part of.
I'm incredibly disappointed to see Councillor Sean Orr participating at a Samidoun-affiliated rally in Vancouver. Samidoun is a terrorist organization.
Anti-semitism has NO place in Vancouver. Celebrating Hamas has NO place in Vancouver. I call on all local elected officials to condemn this behaviour.
Had tickets and was so looking forward to this show.
This is an absolute fucking OUTRAGE and puts Canada on the exact same level as our boot-licking, dissent-cancelling neighbours to the south.
Solidarity to @KNEECAPCEOL and FREE PALESTINE.
