"..suppressing teachers’ rights is exactly what the UCP intended to do...And if the UCP can take the rights away from 50,000 of them, then nobody’s safe."

Sounds familiar. Is this the same playbook used by the Dal BoG in the current labour dispute with @dalfaculty.bsky.social Dalhousie faculty members? What's the role of the NS govt? @keepdalstrong.bsky.social

The Ford government is dismantling the Ontario public college system.
Defunding the system and funneling money into the Skills Development Fund endangers the province's economy and the futures of our students and communities.
