SMU's upcoming Wellness Week doesn't do what a good collective agreement will—address real material issues, like low pay and stress from late contracts. We need a fair contract for a healthy workplace, not #UnfairWork!

If you think that part time faculty in Canada should be paid more than ~$26k/year teaching four courses, should get benefits, and should have a path to permanency, sign + share!
We're on strike for what's already been settled at other universities.

As a teacher I strongly support CUPE 3912 members on strike at Saint Mary’s University and Mount Saint Vincent because our students deserve the best education. They need professionals who can be there for them semester after semester, not maltreated temps.

This is fabulous news. The deal was hard fought, and it has some huge gains that set us up well for future negotiations. On top of that, it’s definitely a relief to be able to plan Shirley Jackson lectures instead of strike tactics!
