Fantastic news! When students mobilize, great things happen! #KeepDalStrong

Starting Tuesday, September 2nd, we’ll be there from 10:00am-2:30pm. Please drop by!

Nadine Ezzeddine, Nursing, highlights the impact this lockout will have on N.S. healthcare if it’s not soon resolved. @dalhousieu.bsky.social get back to the table!!! “As a locked out nursing faculty member, I need to address N.S. and the leaders of our province.” #keepdalstrong

The @dalhousieu.bsky.social Board of Governors' "offer" for interest arbitration won't resolve this. It's just creating further delays. Bargaining on the issues important to our members is required. Stop with the stunts, let's get back to the table and talk. It's the only way to #KeepDalStrong

DFA President explains the past 24 hours and urges the @dalhousieu.bsky.social board to negotiate rather than dictate. Talk to us at the table ti #keepdalstrong @ansut.bsky.social @cupe3912.bsky.social @caut.bsky.social

Dalhousie University union rejects arbitration offer, files complaint with labour department The Dalhousie Faculty Association has rejected an offer of arbitration to end an ongoing lockout from Dalhousie University while also filing a complaint with the Nova Scotia Department of Labour.

In the section on academic misconduct, specifically misrepresentation of sources, in my next first-year course, I’ll be using my employer’s “bargaining” documents.

For shame. #KeepDalStrong

‘Challenges and uncertainty:’ Dalhousie University faculty lockout leaves students worried The lockout of Dalhousie University faculty is inching closer to the start of the school year, and it's fuelling concerns among students.

I am increasingly frustrated, even angry, about the hypocrisy—tempted to say disinformation—from @dalhousie.bsky.social’s administration. How can you say “the university’s priority is working with the DFA to reach a resolution” when they have not even tried to return to the table? #KeepDalStrong

Patti Doyle-Bedwell is on DFA’s Bargaining Team. She urges the @dalhousieu.bsky.social Board to come back to the table- we are now on day 7 of complete silence from the Board. Time to talk, don’t you think? #keepdalstrong @ansut.bsky.social @caut.bsky.social

Naiomi Metallic talks about how her students will miss an opportunity to learn some foundational info re: indigenous law the longer this lockout continues. @dalhousieu.bsky.social, come back to bargain and help us to #keepdalstrong @caut.bsky.social @ansut.bsky.social
