Infographic with text reading: Members of the DFA have not chosen to stop work. They have been forced to. Infographic with text reading: A fair agreement for DFA members is essential to sustaining the academic excellence and research reputation on which Dalhousie University prides itself—and on which all of our work depends. PSAC Local 86001 urges the Board to return to good-faith bargaining and to present an agreement that: (1) Recognizes the critical contributions of faculty and academic staff to teaching, research, and student success. (2) Ensures fair compensation, benefits, and working conditions that reflect rising costs of living and workloads. (3) Upholds principles of collegial governance, job security, and equity for all members of the academic community. Infographic with text reading: This current work stoppage impacts both undergraduate and graduate students. It will impact the beginning of classes in the fall, which faculty would usually be preparing for now, and it will impact graduate students in completing their research, defending their theses, and being confirmed for graduation. It also impacts many of our members, who rely on input, support, and mentorship from their faculty supervisors. Lockouts damage morale, interrupt scholarship, and diminish the university’s standing in the eyes of students, partners, and the public. Infographic with text reading: We stand in solidarity with our colleagues in the DFA and call on the Board to work toward an immediate resolution that values their indispensable role at Dalhousie.
