Listening to NPR &turning it off. The mainstream media is as unprepared & I'll equipped for this impeachment hearing as the Democrats are. Fumbling, defensive, and doesn't bode well for 2020. All of them need to learn how to fight Bannon/Trump from successful union organizers.

My favorite people!!!

Time to end precarious work! We're with #FoodstersUnited !!!

Currently, college faculty receive a maximum of 5 minutes and 24 secs per student/week to give feedback to students. We proposed that change to 7 mins 12 secs. Every prof knows that 5 mins is not enough to give our students what they need and deserve. #BargainingforBetter #Onpse

College Employer Council College Faculty "In a labour relations context, the parties have the fundamental obligation to bargain." CEC Chairperson Why have you walked away from the table then? #Bargain4Better #DoBetter #GetBackToTheTable

Now that the CEC team has walked away from negotiations and rejected the faculty team’s offer for voluntary binding arbitration, they have left faculty with literally no choice other than to organize in favour of the faculty offer. 1/2

Graham Lloyd College Employer Council College Faculty "The CAAT-A team might say that this is an escalation. It is not. A No Board Report is an indispensable tool available to both parties." But YOU chose to escalate. YOU chose to take the No Board Report. #DoubleSpeak

The College Employer Council has refused faculty’s offer to send outstanding issues to arbitration—which would guarantee no labour disruption. If they believe their offer is fair, why not present it to a neutral arbitrator, and let us focus on what matters most: students. #bargainingforbetter

Listen, the College Employer Council may be lead by Graham Lloyd - the former head of the Dairy Farmers of Ontario - but college faculty are not here to be milked. Update our workload formula (last revised in 1985). Provide stability for contract faculty… #BargainingforBetter

We should all ask College Presidents to end this escalation and find a compromise. Dr. Ron Common, @saultcollege, do you support binding arbitration that would guarantee no labour disruption for faculty and students? #saultcollege #bargainingforbetter #onpse #onpoli

*IMPORTANT UPDATE FROM YOUR CAAT-A BARGAINING TEAM* Team calls for strike vote to protect members from effects of CEC-requested no-board report. Read the Team’s full message here: opseu354.ca/bargaining-upd…

The faculty team has left the option of voluntary binding arbitration on the table--it is up to the CEC now to demonstrate their stated commitment to labour stability and improved labour relations, rather than forcing their agenda on faculty and students. #BargainingforBetter

So many of us are suffering moral injury brought on by our working conditions. We need working conditions that afford us dignity and respect. College Faculty Jonathan Singer Contract Faculty Forward College Employer Council

Faculty oversight over curriculum is what ensures that our students actually have an education rather than being taught by bots. #bargainingforbetter for our students CCSAI

Evaluation factors haven't changed for College Faculty in 36 years. Has anyone tried to grade a research essay with an annotated bibliography in 5 minutes? #bargainingforbetter CCSAI Centennial College

Well said @bryinlyin !!!

College faculty may have seen the CEC’s recent letter stating they “can not ever agree to” (sp) faculty demands. They cannot agree to an extra 1.8 minutes per student They cannot agree to bridge benefits for partial load faculty between terms Ever. Yup, that’s how they roll.

Strike votes do not automatically lead to strikes! We can see past the fear-mongering, College Employer Council #BargainingforBetter

Mic drop!
