Campus Solidarity Update DISTRIBUTE WIDELY! #defendeducation fight #academicprecarity UniversityOfVictoria

Precarious work looms large in bargaining impasse for University of Victoria lecturers | rabble.ca rabble.ca/news/2019/08/p…

I have cancer surgery scheduled later this month, so I have to miss the first two weeks of class. Rather than providing me with a sub, the university is proposing to remove me from the class I designed and cutting my load (and paycheck) by 2/3rd. Adjuncting sucks

Happy Labour Day! Since 1894 we’ve celebrated and taken time to acknowledge workers’ rights. Let’s continue to celebrate what we’ve won and remember that we got those rights by uniting and fighting! buff.ly/2jSwuAk

"The privilege of tenure used to confer academic freedom through job security. By now, decades of adjunctification have made the professoriate fearful, insular, and conformist." chroni.cl/2NR1u0j #CHEarchive

Lecturers like me at University of New Hampshire haven't gotten even cost of living raises since 2016. We want a fair contract that keeps our school attractive to prospective faculty and offers some job security to loyal lecturers. #FairContractNow nhpr.org/post/lecturers…

"For the most part, these are insecure, unsupported positions with little job security and few protections for academic freedom..." hyperallergic.com/515973/adjunct…

'Solidarity with all university staff taking action against the shameful mistreatment of the lowest paid staff. I am very proud to have once been a branch member.' gofundme.com/uob-unison-str… #hellobrum #uobstrike #wearetheuniversity #birmingham #highereducation #pmqs #livingwage

Love to see unions going to bat for their international and undocumented members, colleagues, and students ❤️

Boots Riley Sessional & music performance instructors in 𝗖𝗨𝗣𝗘 4163 at #UVic gave a 92% strike vote. They teach 30% of students w/a heavy workload but less health benefits, no job security, & very little severance pay - like many uni profs on contracts in CAN/the US. rabble.ca/news/2019/08/p…

"Nobody wants to be on strike, but at the same time, here we are. And why? Because they're greedy as hell, and it's time to stop taking it." -Alto Byrd III ICYMI: AUW members at GM went on #strike yesterday for the first time in 12 years! Solidarity! ✊ ow.ly/d4yE50wcAGx

Just about missed the top-most sign ("Spy master Tam") in this VicNews pic from today's Victoria "freedom" convoy. So nice to see the Ottawa occupation doesn't have a monopoly on racists. #TruckersForFreedom2022
