#CAUTCouncil voted unanimously to condemn the Alberta gov’s proposed Bill 18 as a dangerous attack on university autonomy, academic freedom, and the ethical practice of research. Delegates passed an emergency motion brought by CAFA and seconded by AASUA. #CdnPSE #canpoli

We did a webinar based on our recent Parkland Institute report about government interference in public sector bargaining. This matters to more than 200,000 Alberta workers right now.

'The future of Albertan research under Bill 18 is grim. More importantly, it is the exact opposite of what Smith and the UCP are claiming in their attempts to get this bill passed. Bill 18 is not about the return of objectivity; it is about its death.'

Today is budget day💰!

In #Budget2024 we are hoping to see much needed investments in research and long overdue increases to graduate scholarships & postdoc fellowships. Early career researchers deserve a living wage.

And investments will make sure Canada stays innovative. 🤞

Over 200,000 public sector workers in Alberta are bargaining for new contracts in 2024. With the provincial government calling the shots for the employers, bargaining at all of the tables will be tense — and with real prospects for labour disruption.
