Dalhousie Faculty Association

Dal professors worry about a condensed fall semester With the fall semester shortened due to the faculty lockout, professors at Dalhousie University are restructuring their courses to fit a condensed schedule.

DFA members Julia M. Wright and Spring Farrell comment on surviving the condensed fall term. dalgazette.com/news/dal-pro... #KeepDalStrong

Our colleagues at the U of Lethbridge need your support. Join their letter writing campaign for a fair deal. ULFA members are paid an average of 15-20% less than academic staff at comparative institutions, and have some of the worst health benefits in the industry. www.ulfa.ca/take-action/

This Friday, Oct 3, join CUPE3912 for their rally. Great chance to show solidarity for our colleagues @dalhousieu.bsky.social #KeepDalStrong

Great things happened on the picket lines. But students & faculty belong in the classrooms & labs doing amazing things together. Sept 23! (Found this mug at a thrift store just before the @dalhousieu.bsky.social Board filed notice of lockout - today felt like the day to post it) #KeepDalStrong

DFA members accepted the agreement/back-to-work protocol. @dalhousieu.bsky.social also ratified. Faculty will be back in the classrooms/labs with students Tuesday. Thanks to our members for their resolve, to students for their support and to unions across Canada for having our backs. #KeepDalStrong

DFA Members ... Let's show the students how much we appreciated their amazing level of support of our efforts! Join them this Thursday, Sept 18 for Student Sit in On the Quad. #KeepDalStrong

These solidarity run/walk initiatives are a fantastic idea!

It's been almost four weeks since the @dalhousieu.bsky.social lockout of DFA faculty began. Progress has been made. Now, it's time for President Brooks to step in and get the Board to accept what is a fair and reasonable offer by the DFA. Let's get on with the term. #keepdalstrong

DFA members Drew Bourret, Jen Frail-Gauthier and Tony Walker being interviewed on the exploitation of precarious workers in PSE. Short-term teaching contracts for long-term teaching needs does not keep any university strong. Thanks for the opportunity, St. FX Social Justice Radio. #KeepDalStrong

Happening now in the quad! The DSU and the DFA are hosting teach ins from 12 to 1! @dalfaculty.bsky.social

Shout out to Mat Whynott of the Canadian Labour Congress for his ongoing support of our Truro picketers. Mat comes with subs, a smile, and his CLC flag to boost our picketers and to #KeepDalStrong @cautdefencefund.bsky.social

The @dalhousieu.bsky.social Board of Governors is NOT delivering on their mandate. These are a few of the more obvious areas in which they are failing the university community. What will they do to clean up this mess they have created? #KeeDalStrong

A great big thank you to the Association of Dalhousie Retirees and Pensioners for their financial support! They also attend every rally to cheer us on and show their solidarity to #KeepDalStrong @dalhousieu.bsky.social @cautdefencefund.bsky.social @caut.bsky.social @ansut.bsky.social

Conciliation bet the @dalhousieu.bsky.social and the DFA starts today 9 am. One month ago today the Board walked away from conciliation. Let's hope they return to engage in meaningful bargaining, reach agreement, get students and faculty back to class! #KeepDalStrong @cautdefencefund.bsky.social

DFA is new to LinkedIn. Connect with us and read the article related to this image. Hint: Its about how a reputation that took 200 years to build has been destroyed in just 3 weeks. @KeepDalStrong

Wow, what a rally!!! $1 mill from @cautdefencefund.bsky.social , supporters from across the country, a groundswell of student support - @dalhousieu.bsky.social better come to conciliation Monday with a genuine interest in bargaining! #keepdalstrong

Thank you @smufu.bsky.social for your unwavering support!!!

Today, DFA Exec agreed to amend the complaint filed late Aug with the NS Labour Board. The @dalhousieu.bsky.social Board's attempt to divide the DFA members has backfired. We stand united in the fight to #KeepDalStrong. We welcome productive conciliation meetings on Monday.

3rd DFA lockout rally. Happening now. #keepdalstrong
