The Wilfrid Laurier University Faculty Association (WLUFA) is the certified bargaining agent for all permanent & contract faculty and professional librarians.
On Nov. 4, WLUFA joined @OCUFA and faculty colleagues at Queen’s Park to meet MPPs from all parties. Our message: Ontario universities need stable public funding, affordable education for students, and respect for academic freedom and university autonomy. #ONPSE#ONpoli
WLUFA joined today’s USW Local 1005 rally in Hamilton to oppose layoffs at Stelco and support steelworkers and their families
The fight for secure jobs and fair working conditions connects us across the labour movement

Thanks to everyone who joined us! 🍂

Thanks to everyone who joined us for the WLUFA Fall Social!
It was great to catch up with colleagues, meet new faces, share a meal, and spend time together outside the workday.
These gatherings help strengthen the connections that make our Association a community.

This is the final step in a painful 5-year journey. The CCAA process caused deep harm to Laurentian faculty, staff, and Sudbury. Thanks to strong advocacy, inappropriate corporate restructuring can no longer be used at public universities https://t.co/quxzkCODWY
Thank you to everyone who joined us today for the 3rd Annual WLUFA/WLUSA Pride & Popsicles at @LutherWaterloo!
A joyful afternoon of popsicles, community, connection, and celebrating 2SLGBTQI+ people across our campuses. 🌈

While progress has been made for WLUFA’s CF Members, major issues remain. Sustained public funding for Ontario’s PSEs is needed to secure benefits, job security, pathways to full-time work, and research support for Contract Faculty. #Fairness4CF https://t.co/qMJqsjJlJB @OCUFA
Recent progress at Laurier for CF matters. It also shows why collective action matters. But fairness for Contract Faculty depends on more than local gains. Chronic underfunding continues to drive precarious academic work across the sector. https://t.co/qMJqsjJlJB @OCUFA
Unpaid labour remains a serious issue for Contract Faculty across Ontario, especially as AI-related academic misconduct adds to instructors’ workload. Sustained public funding is needed to support fair compensation and working conditions. #Fairness https://t.co/qMJqsjJlJB @OCUFA
Following the recent Member ratification vote, WLUFA’s Contract Faculty Members at Laurier are set to make some gains, but there is still more work to do to address precarity and advance fairness for Contract Faculty across the sector. #Fairness4CF https://t.co/qMJqsjJlJB @OCUFA
Precariously employed contract faculty teach almost 50% of university courses in Ontario with little job security or institutional support. OCUFA is holding a Social Media Day of Action to call for fair, stable working conditions for contract faculty.

Tentative agreement reached. No strike Monday. CF duties resume as usual. Join us at Maxwell’s (Waterloo) for updates, and recognize the CF team and all who supported bargaining. 12 pm music: Miles Evans Branagh and Joshua Arden Miller. 3 pm: The Mighty Kin ft Brent Hagerman.
WLUFA has reached a tentative agreement with the Administration for the Contract Faculty Bargaining Unit, averting a strike.
There is no labour disruption at this time.
Details will be shared with members through the ratification process. More updates to come. #Fairness4cf
Mediation has begun. Final "full pass" is with the CF bargaining team. Under 14 hours to the strike deadline, the team is sequestered and pushing on compensation, benefits, job security, and unpaid labour. We stand together for a fair deal. #Fairness4cf#Solidarity@OCUFA
We’re preparing for Monday’s strike deadline (12:01 a.m., Feb 23).
Shirts, signs, safety gear, and strong solidarity across campus, including support from WLUSA and a unionized printshop that produced our picket signs.
Stay tuned for updates. #Fairness4cf#Solidarity@OCUFA
Solidarity in action at the Hawk’s Nest. Thank you to the Full-time and Contract Faculty Members and Librarians who came out to stand together for #Fairness4CF. Soup, Sandwiches, and Solidarity. #Solidarity@OCUFA
