Last day of conciliation with @dalhousieu.bsky.social Board is Mon Aug 11. Seems like Dal plans to lock out faculty, cancelling courses/research conducted by 1000 profs, instructors, librarians, counsellors. Voice your concerns president@dal.ca. #keepdalstrong @caut.bsky.social @ansut.bsky.social

Looks like @dalhousieu.bsky.social will be the 1st research-intensive university in Canada to lock out its faculty ... Now THAT's gotta be good for your reputation! August 11, stay tuned. #KeepDalStrong @caut.bsky.social @cautdefencefund.bsky.social @ansut.bsky.social

Dalhousie, faculty union begin 14-day countdown to possible strike or lockout | CBC News One final date for conciliation is scheduled for Aug. 11, and a labour disruption could start Aug. 12.

DFA President Dave Westwood not optimistic there will be a resolution before the 14-day deadline of August 11. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... @caut.bsky.social @ansut.bsky.social @dalhousieu.bsky.social DFA trying to #keepdalstrong, but the Board won't come to the table.

On July 28, DFA Pres Dave Westwood asked @dalhousieu.bsky.social Pres Brooks to meet, get the Board back to the table. Her next 2 weeks are too busy. DFA wants resolution. Dal Board wants a lockout. Aug 11 conciliation meeting will tell the tale. #KeepDalStrong @ansut.bsky.social @caut.bsky.social

As @dalhousieu.bsky.social faculty are trying to prep their fall courses, the antics of the Board of Governors has forced them to focus on a possible lockout. DFA is ready to talk. The Board refuses. Link to media release in comments. @ansut.bsky.social @caut.bsky.social #KeepDalStrong

Picket signs arrived at the DFA office today. Hopefully we won't need to unwrap them!

While our bargaining team wants to get back to the table and avoid job action, we will be ready if the @dalhousieu.bsky.social Board of Governors won't bargain. #keepdalstrong @ansut.bsky.social @caut.bsky.social

The Board @dalhousieu.bsky.social is jeopardizing the fall term.
A mid-August lockout will solve nothing. DFA wants to continue bargaining. Is that too much to ask? Link to media release in comments @ansut.bsky.social @caut.bsky.social #KeepDalStrong
