(1/4) The Government of Ontario has been interfering systemically and structurally with the Laurentian University Faculty Association’s free and fair collective bargaining rights.
Teal background with a white quote symbol at the top, followed by the words in white, bold text: "The Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations and the Canadian Association of University Teachers are both supporting LUFA and will seek intervenor status in this charter challenge." Below the text is an iPhone displaying the CTV News article: Faculty union at Laurentian to make a human rights challenge over pension plan bargaining by Darren MacDonald. Published November 17, 2025 at 12:45PM EST. Teal background with a white quote symbol at the top, followed by the words in white, bold text: "Bargaining belongs to us: not the government, not the courts." Below that in smaller white text the quote is attributed to: "Fabrice Colin, President of the Laurentian University Faculty Association." Taking up the bottom two thirds of the frame, a tablet displays the Sudbury Star article: Laurentian union launches constitutional challenge as contract talks begin by Harold Carmichael.

The Government's attack on teachers puts all of us in jeopardy.

Thanks to all who stood up today for fundamental rights and for quality education in Alberta. When teachers fight, students win.

Today, OCUFA is meeting with Ontario MPPs to discuss the serious threats facing our education sector. Ontario provides its universities with the lowest amount of total provincial funding per-domestic full-time equivalent (FTE) student in Canada, and it’s not close.

OCUFA is committed to enhancing the quality of higher public education in Ontario and recognizing the outstanding contributions of our members towards creating a world-class university system. An important part of that work is effective advocacy.

Alors que les universités et les collèges réduisent leurs programmes universitaires, ferment des programmes et suppriment plus de 13 000 emplois, le budget 2025 réduit de moitié les inscriptions d'étudiants internationaux sans augmenter le financement de base.

As universities and colleges cut academic programs, close programs, and slash 13,000+ jobs, Budget 2025 halves international student enrolment without boosting core funding.

"..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."

@acifa.bsky.social's @drmacd.bsky.social & CAFA's Lee Easton on why we must fight Bill 2. @caut.bsky.social

Opinion: If the UCP can take away teachers' rights, no one is safe
But Bill 2 does far more than end a strike. It turns fifty-thousand Albertan teachers into second-class citizens.

On October 28, the Alberta Court of Appeal upheld the University of Calgary’s decision not to disclose certain records of two faculty members, broadly interpreting the teaching and research exemptions under Alberta’s Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.

It reminds us that educators must be free to teach, research and engage publicly without fear that freedom of information laws can be weaponized against them."
