Over the last 15+ hrs, I’ve been overwhelmed by messages from professors that know me, some that don’t, and some that may not remember me. They have all reached out to ask how THEY can help me, when the onus truly lies on Ontario Tech University #OTUstrike UOIT Faculty

The longer the strike continues, the greater the impact on student opportunities. Co-op placements, practicums, internships, and even graduate school admissions might be at risk. Ontario Tech University, agree to #BindingArbitrationNOW. Steven Murphy @lorilivinsto17 #OnstrikeU

After 9 months of bargaining and several days into a strike, it’s pretty shocking that Steven Murphy, LivingHealth, & Ontario Tech University, don’t understand the definition of teaching. #ONStrikeU #OTUstrike #MurphysLegacy UOIT Faculty

Profs only have so much time for each of their many duties. Increased workload, unusually high student:faculty ratios, and large class sizes = less time per student. Sustainable workloads improve the quality of education for our students. #ONstrikeU UOIT Faculty Ontario Tech University

👏👏👏

Excellent undergraduate learning opportunities require excellent FACULTY mentorship. To provide Ontario Tech University students with experiential learning opportunities, faculty need mentorship of students to remain part of their teaching workload. #InvisibleWorkload #ONstrikeU

A helpful thread on #Mediation ahead of this weekend. #ONstrikeU

I teach nursing students to save lives in high acuity areas. Even through Covid-19, Ontario Tech has more than doubled my class sizes despite my concerns. Students deserve better. Patients deserve better. My workload at OTU is literally a life and death issue. ⁦UOIT Faculty⁩

Standing in solidarity with our amazing UOITFA Bargaining Team this weekend - you’ve got this!

And they’re off! The first half of our alpha team has boots on the ground in Warsaw, delivering much needed care, medicine and supplies to refugees displaced by the crisis in Ukraine. Many thanks to our amazing CMAT and RNAO volunteers for lending their time & expertise 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇵🇱

*UPDATE FROM THE BARGAINING TEAM* Dear Faculty, Today, 3 months after starting work-to-rule action, we are setting a strike deadline in an effort to compel the CEC and the College Presidents to do either of the two things they have refused to do since bargaining began: 1/3

It appears we are at the very beginning of a spring COVID wave in Ontario. Wastewater signals from many parts of the province are up. It is currently unclear how large this wave (or wavelet?) will be, but it would not be surprising to see a bump in hospitalizations soon.

Retweet if you think that your government should bring back mask mandates. 😷

Great fastrack new hospital in Windsor. But, is the hospital for the people of Windsor alone OR is it also for Medical Tourism? Closer to home? Hospital being built next to the airport, despite Windsorians opposing this. Stop for profit clinics Stop medical tourism #onpoli
