#SMUstrike #FairDealNow #cdnpse #canlab

The employer and SMU CUPE 3912 Part-Time Faculty return to the Bargaining Table today.

We trust that the SMU Senior Admin and BOG will offer a fair deal so SMU students can get back into the classrooms next week and PT Faculty can be appropriately respected.
#solidarity

CUPE 3912 is still waiting to meet with the employer to negotiate a new and fair contract. The employer could swiftly put an end to this by meeting immediately with the PT faculty.

Tell SMU admin what you think about the fact that PT Profs at SMU earn less than minimum wage and have been forced to the picket line, impacting students' degrees!

For Immediate Release: Saint Mary’s Faculty Union response to the CUPE3912 SMU Part-Time Faculty Strike Thursday, October 23, 2025 It is a sad and historic day for Saint Mary’s University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Our University has never witnessed a strike in the history of our Institution, dating back to 1802. And yet, here we are in this profoundly unprecedented and disappointing moment, witnessing the first labour action on the backs of some of our hardest-working colleagues, the part-time Professoriate at Saint Mary’s University. These workers are the poorest paid precarious academic staff in Canada. Ranked the 3rd best undergraduate university in the country, Part-Time Faculty members, who deliver the core mission of SMU, are among the lowest paid. Shame on the Saint Mary’s University executive leadership and employer bargaining team, and Board of Governors, for exploiting their academic staff and for their shameful bargaining tactics. This is a very sad day for our institution. We stand in solidarity with our CUPE 3912 with our full support and call on the SMU President, Provost, BOG and Bargaining team to get back to the table immediately and work towards a fair deal now.

Sending solidarity with our @cupe3912.bsky.social colleagues. They deserve fair wages. They deserve to be respected by their employers.

We stand with you, colleagues!

Today we honour survivors of residential schools, their families, and the communities forever impacted. Reconciliation lives in what we teach, collect, and research. We must choose to challenge colonial narratives, and make space for Indigenous voices and ways of knowing.

surveillance and censorship are not about safety.

they're about control.

Solidarity with @cupe3912.bsky.social

Congratulations to the @dalfaculty.bsky.social for their steadfast work to secure a fair deal for their members. We were proud to stand beside you every step of the way. Let's hope that the nonsense that was wrought upon you will never be witnessed again.

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

Save The Date!
SMUFU AGM will be held from 10-noon on Friday, October 31 (see your SMU emails for more details).

The significance of the date is not lost on us, and therefore
CANDY 👏WILL👏BE👏PROVIDED👏

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

@dalfaculty.bsky.social know how to hold a solidarity rally!
