Cue Sessionals

Interview / @glynis_price president of the Concordia University of Edmonton Faculty Association. In January, @CUEfacultyassoc became the first academic staff association to strike in Alberta. @CueSessionals @cuefavoice #CUEStrike #UnionStrong #CdnPSE caut.ca/bulletin/2022/…

A better idea, @uLethbridge, is to get back to the bargaining table. End the strike and save the semester for your students. This is COMPLETELY in your hands. @ULFAssociation has been waiting for you to start acting in good faith. #ulfastrike

Acknowledging how (intentionally) confusing budget documents can be, it is totally inaccurate to say "the province is slated to spend around $5.4 billion on #abpse in the 2022-2023 fiscal year." That figure includes own-source revenues (eg. tuition) that are growing. @hamdiissawi

Stand with striking academic staff at @ULFAssociation. Show your support with ULFA members by sending a message to the Board of Governors. Click here: makeitfair.caut.ca/ulfa. #UnionStrong 💪 #ouruniversity #worthfightingfor #savethesemester

-Media Release- “We think that the time has passed for posturing,” ULFA Chief Bargainer Locke Spencer noted. “It’s time to get back to the table and focus on achieving a settlement." #worthfightingfor #ouruniversity #savethesemester #ulfastrike #respect ulfa.ca/bargaining_upd…

"Cuts are at the root of all the problems that the #UAlberta has experienced in the last three years." Suggested reading for @demetriosnAB, who has created utter chaos in #abpse since becoming minister. cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…

We would do it all over again. Thank you. #SolidarityIsAVerb

Good news!!!

A wave of strikes have hit Canadian universities. Jeremy Appel (@JeremyAppel1025) covers three current strikes and the conditions that may have more faculty strikes erupting soon. #canlab #cdnpoli #cdnpse @ULFAssociation @AcadiaFaculty @UOITFA rankandfile.ca/faculty-strike…

While our historic strike resulted in important changes for our members it did not address ongoing problems of leadership.

There are 4 main areas of concern: a toxic workplace culture, the President’s failure to effectively manage the core operations of the University, the financial mismanagement of the institution and the damage done to relations between CUE and key stakeholders.

We know we’ve been quiet-ish recently, now we can tell you why. On Feb 11 CUEFA held a vote of no confidence in CUE President Dr. Tim Loreman’s leadership. 91% of members registered to vote and 90% voted that they have NO confidence in his leadership.

Good news everyone! According to our Board Chair (who was appointed by our University President), everything is fine. There’s nothing to see and the Faculty just need to “move past recent tensions”. No need to actually talk to the Faculty about concerns. #gaslit

This is great news!!! Waiting on the Administrations to negotiate a fair deal for both @AcadiaFaculty and @ULFAssociation #Solidarity

President David Stewart and six TUCFA colleagues participated in virtual rally in support of colleagues at @AcadiaFaculty (AUFA) and @ULFAssociation (ULFA).

An open letter to President Mahon of @uLethbridge. #mru #abpse #abpoli @ULFAssociation @cafaab

Starting drive down to Lethbridge to support @ULFAssociation on the line tomorrow.

The strike is over. UOITFA has an agreement that avoids the concessions we were expected to make on supervision and course loads, and strengthens the process to correct unequal pay. I'm proud of my union's bargaining team and membership for the work it took to get to this point.

After interfering in our bargaining and violating our charter rights in 2016, the Manitoba Government has been ordered to pay @UMFA_FAUM and its members $19.3 Million. umfa.ca/news/204-gover…
