As the largest academic staff union in Canada, AASUA fights to protect our members' livelihoods.
AASUA is concerned with a number of inaccurate statements made in last Friday’s communication from the Board of Governors to the University of Alberta Community. That’s why we published an article correcting the Employer’s inaccurate statements. Go to aasua.ca/facts to learn more
Share to help us ensure all at UAlberta have the facts!

AASUA stands with @aupe.org Local 54 Chapter 001 members!
These health care workers held a practice picket today and are standing up to protect wages, working conditions and patient safety.
AASUA will be there to show our support for health care workers at their practice picket on Friday, August 8. We invite all AASUA academic staff to come out and support our union neighbours, even if you only have 20 minutes to pop by! #solidarity

The committee is responsible for advancing the rights of contract academic staff across Canada! Congratulations Kristine!
The Employer is trying to gut our benefit plan. We can't let them.

The spark of innovation and learning burns brightly at UAlberta. But after one year of bargaining, academic staff have yet to see a fair deal that provides job security and competitive compensation.
Thank you to all who rallied today to support the spark! 💡 #ualberta

Perhaps as the "first major Canadian university to embrace access, community, and belonging," #UAlberta can give long-term, stable employment to the hundreds of UofA instructors and researchers trapped in short-term contracts.
It's time to go beyond branding.

“This is part of a larger pattern of disinvesting in front-line teaching and research staff."
