Let's avert a strike @laurier. We're not asking for the moon, only fairness to improve our working conditions. Be Golden at the table today!

“Some of our contract faculty members have been teaching contract to contract, semester to semester, for over 3 decades & have to re-apply for their jobs every term. This level of precarity is unacceptable and makes it more difficult to serve our students.”

The media is paying attention @laurier ... doyou really want your students to know that you are not? Union for part-time Laurier faculty announces strike deadline https://t.co/zieee5oR3c #fairness4cf #precariouswlu
Wouldn't it be nice if universities treated all their employees fairly & we didn't have to fight for equity? Still waiting for @laurier to recognize our worth.
7 days until this strike shuts down over 50% of classes
#WLUstrikecountdown
As the only @laurier employees with no access to employer-paid benefits, the average #contractfaculty making $24,999/yr would have to pay $1,927.56 for family health & dental insurance, and reapply every year. That's IF they can afford it.

@Laurier #contractfaculty "have no job security, so every 4 mnths they have to think of ‘what income am I going to have?’ ‘How am I going to be able to support my family?’ So they’re in a really difficult situation." - #WLUFA Pres in @cordnews

For #contractfaculty, illness longer than 7 days for ourselves or our family members can mean the loss of our courses and stipends. @laurier has rejected our proposal for extended sick leave.

The median compensation of contract faculty
@laurier in 2021 was $24,999. The average Ontario income during the same period was $55,524.
#WLUstrikecountdown
A 2016 report on Ontario #contractfaculty found nearly a third of survey respondents earned below the after-tax poverty line of $20,000, even though they had multiple sources of income (Field & Jones, 2016).

We're closely following developments at Wilfred Laurier, where 95.4% of contract teaching faculty @PrecariousWLU have voted in favour of striking. The next meeting with a mediator is scheduled for Nov. 15. #Contractfaculty #Fairness4CF

900 Wilfrid Laurier contract teaching faculty in striking position https://t.co/4BGHZOfWf0
12 days until #contractfaculty strike. We would love, however, @laurier to come to the table with a fair deal instead.
