Don't forget to join the Saturday pickets. Bring your friends and noisemakers! We received confirmation that @theJagmeetSingh, leader of the federal NDP party, will be joining our picket line on Tuesday. Our fight is real and the word is out. #ottnews#cupe2424#carletonstrike
Meet faculty member Brian: “It’s our pension too and we’d really like to see a fair shake out of the administration. I really hope that we can get back to the table and get a quick resolution to this fight, which is also our fight.” #WeAreCarleton#BetterTogether#carletonstrike
Unfortunately, the English Department has just announced that it's had to cancel this year's Munroe Beattie lecture. Must be the first time in . . . forever! Definitely not business as usual #cupe2424#wearecarleton#BetterTogether
I’d like to be proud of the uni from which I earned my PhD, & for which I’ve taught the max load allowed by CIs since 2002. But my poverty-level pay of less than 30,000/year & precarious employment & yet another strike makes it’s hard to feel pride rn. Solidarity w #cupe2424.
@BrettParnell463 @njdrichardson @k__armstrong @Carleton_U I’m on strike with CUPE 2424, and I’m not a socialist. I’d like to see more conservative involvement in labour issues, but until then we have to work with the protections we have. It may not ease your discomfort with the strike, but I thought I’d mention it for what it’s worth.
@DivinKang@AlexaJetta@sarah_wilson135@CUPE2424@CU_President If Carleton's' employees are put in the position to need to strike for this, it frankly calls into question the principles in which this school claims to uphold. How can I have confidence in the value of my degree to employers, if Carleton takes its own staff for granted?
