#20weeksonstrike

“Universities and colleges are not just institutions for learning, but are places of employment for thousands of workers... Job security, adequate graduate funding and equity protections for the most vulnerable are fundamental to delivering high quality education. Protecting students means investing in education, not stripping away the rights of the workers that students depend on.” Nour Alideeb, Chairperson, Canadian Federation of Students-Ontario July 16, 2018

Rain, rain, go away! But guess what? The CUPE Carnival: Celebrating 20 Week’s of Resistance is STILL ON TODAY. It will now start at 4:30 and end a litttle later as well. Check the Facebook event page for up to date details

« Les éducatrices et éducateurs jouent un rôle crucial dans la formation des étudiant(e)s (...) Les TUAC Canada appuient les membres de la section locale 3903 du SCFP, car nous croyons que les éducatrices et éducateurs de même que tous les salarié(e)s méritent d’être traités de manière respectueuse, digne et équitable au travail. » Paul Meinema, Travailleurs et travailleuses unis de l’alimentation et du commerce (TUAC) Canada March 12, 2018
