@cupe3912.bsky.social stands in #solidarity with @dalfaculty.bsky.social as they fight to get back to the table to protect their collective agreement and stop the #gigification of academic work at #DalhousieUniversity

« There are many outstanding issues on the table […] They include: […] preventing full-
time jobs from becoming precarious sessional contracts; ending the practice of using limited-term
contracts for continuing teaching needs; […] »

Stop the #gigification of work

SMU's @cupe3912.bsky.social Part-Time Faculty's skilled teaching is part of why it's ranked as the third-best undergrad university in Canada.

And yet...we're paid some of the lowest wages across the country, with management only offering a small wage increase.

It's time for SMU to #MakeItFair. 👏

Our delegates arrived yesterday afternoon for the 2025 CUPE NS Convention. We're excited to campaign over the next few days and elect @csaulnier.bsky.social for @cupens.bsky.social President! Check out some photos from yesterday.
