What better way to kick off the year than with a BBQ? Thanks to those who came out and asked such great questions about the negotiations process! If you weren't there don't worry — we have an upcoming Bargaining Town Hall Sept 18. Watch your inbox for more details! #ualberta

When I walked the line with @AMPL/AMPD on Friday, I met many first-year law students who shared their experience of meeting their future profs on the line and at these teach-ins. The students said, « we understand why @AMPL/AMPD are on strike »! #solidarity from AASUA

Regardez ça!

Yesterday, while volunteering Campus Food Bank University of Alberta with AASUA, I learned that they accept donations from folks’ gardens. Did you know Campus Food Bank #UofA use has increased 600% over the last 5 years?

We are still accepting manuscripts until September 30th. Feel free to connect with me if you have any questions.

It was wonderful to see folks from CAUT/ACPPU ULFA MRU Faculty Association, TUCFA, GMUFA, AUPE (old account) NAIT, ACIFA, AASUA, and students speaking against the politicization of research.

I’m speaking at this, and I hope you can join to support AASUA’s bargaining team, which is trying to -address workload -improve job security for contract staff -maintain our benfit plan and extend it to more members -foster collegial governance - defend academic freedom
