@WesternU @SupportourScience Walk out was a success! Thank you everyone for the support !

[Karuna DSouza @karunadsouza]

Universities in Ontario obfuscate the real issue of grad student poverty by quoting the hourly wage and not revealing yearly income + tuition payment which works out to below minimum wage. Solidarity! @cupe4600

[TA/PD Union@ Western @PSAC610]

With the rapid rise in living costs, our stipends have not been keeping pace. It's time for @WesternU to raise the floor and address this crisis with action, not words.

Join us on UC Hill at 11AM February 7th to demand an increase in grad student pay! #UnionStrong

[Western Gazette @uwogazette]

A demonstration organized by the teaching assistant union to advocate for higher wages for graduate student TAs took place on UC Hill Tuesday, attracting nearly 100 attendees.

[TA/PD Union@ Western @PSAC610]

If you're on campus today, come to UC Hill at 11AM to show support.

Let's make noise and demand action. All Graduate students deserve a livable wage.

[Dr. Catherine Neish @planet_neish]

Supporting my students at a rally to end graduate student poverty. @WesternU needs to do better to financially support our excellent student scholars.

[PSAC 901 @PSAC901]

We don't have classes - we teach classes!

Our work is foundational to @QueensU
's success. For the privilege of being an employee we pay 7k+ out of our funding packages of 18k.

And so, we take 2nd and 3rd jobs and we accumulate debt.
