ANSUT

ANSUT stands with contract academic staff, who bring lasting knowledge, mentorship, and expertise to our campuses and communities. Their contracts shouldn’t be disposable. Find out if your campus has an active Fair Employment Now! campaign: app.sosha.ai/s/QecZKK0s

On September 30, we remember children lost to residential schools and honour Survivors, families and communities. We recognize Indigenous scholars and students—their knowledge, leadership and aspirations. Reconciliation calls for listening, respect and action, today and every day.

Members of @dalfaculty.bsky.social and @ansut.bsky.social turned out today for Question Period at Province House. Thanks PaulWozney and @nsndp.bsky.social for asking questions about university funding, political interference and transparency.

Show some love to NS long-term care workers. 5,000 workers @ 52 nursing homes will rally Apr 10 across the province. Join them as they stand up for fair wages. @cupens.bsky.social @cupe3912.bsky.social @stfxaut.bsky.social @msvufa.bsky.social @dalfaculty.bsky.social @smufu.bsky.social

Rally in support of @cupe3912.bsky.social NSCAD March 10 at 11am. Join if you can. Spread the word. @stfxaut.bsky.social @astfassoc.bsky.social @msvufa.bsky.social @dalfaculty.bsky.social @smufu.bsky.social @caut.bsky.social @cbufa.bsky.social

The Canada Student Grant is currently $4200 but could be cut to $3000 for the next academic year. College and university students in Canada already struggle with the cost of tuition and day-to-day necessities. This cut would be devastating. Student support should be increasing, not decreasing.

Join us on February 25 to hear from Professor David Vaver, the preeminent legal scholar whose work continues to reverberate in Canadian and international interpretations of fair dealing. Learn more and register: www.caut.ca/event/fair-d...

Town Hall - Feb 23rd - Talk about the elephant in the PSE room: Bill 12 & Academic Program Reviews, & how they are already affecting NS universities. All welcome. @stfxaut.bsky.social @acadiafaculty.bsky.social @msvufa.bsky.social @astfassoc.bsky.social @cupe3912.bsky.social @caut.bsky.social

The more things change, the more they stay the same... An informative panel discussion on politcal interference in PSE that ON, AB & NS are dealing with, featuring the presidents of CAFA, @ocufa.bsky.social and ANSUT. Thanks for hosting, SOFA.

Tell SMU admin what you think about the fact that PT Profs at SMU earn less than minimum wage and have been forced to the picket line, impacting students' degrees! @caut.bsky.social @ansut.bsky.social Solidarity with @cupe3912.bsky.social SMU! win.newmode.net/canadianasso...

New venue for the @ccpanovascotia.bsky.social Gala Dinner Fundraiser in #solidarity with @cupe3912.bsky.social #MSVUstrike #canlab

Contract Academic Staff - they publish, mentor, innovate - all on precarious contracts. More than 80% of CAS surveyed consider their work vital to their university’s mission. Let’s treat it that way. #FairEmploymentWeek#ANSUTstandswithCAS@caut.bsky.social @dalfaculty.bsky.social@cupe3912.bsky.social

“The university @smuhalifax.bsky.social says dozens of courses have been paused due to the strike, but classes taught by full-time faculty members will continue as scheduled.” Dozens? Hundreds, actually👇 www.smu.ca/labour-relat... #SMUstrike @cupe3912.bsky.social @cautdefencefund.bsky.social

Screenshot and share this post to to your own page and tag MSVU and tell them CUPE 3912 Part-Time Academics deserve a fair deal now!

Contract academic staff have many names, but what they all have in common is a lack of job security and access to resources. Join the call for the fair treatment of contract academic staff. #MakeItFair #Fairness4CF @caut.bsky.social

It's @caut.bsky.social Fair Employment Week. Becca Babcock, LTA @dalhousieu.bsky.social "I'd like to focus on my students, rather than worry about unemployment." Short-term contracts for long-term needs weaken the academic environment. #KeepDalStrong @ansut.bsky.social @cupe3912.bsky.social

Faculty at the Université Sainte-Anne are an invaluable part of Nova Scotia’s PSE sector. Over 175 people have shared their support for APPBUSA by sending a letter. 📢Send y ours today and tell the Sainte-Anne admin the APPBUSA deserve a fair offer! ✉️Send a letter: win.newmode.net/canadianasso...

Join the rally today (Aug 29) at noon at Killam Library, and send @dalhousieu.bsky.social the message that their B0G needs to bargain fairly. Students, staff and faculty deserve it.

Dal admin seems to be 'upping the ante' in the dirty tricks category. We stand with @dalfaculty.bsky.social in their fight for a CA that will help LTAs and support members on issues like workload, leaves & access to child-care . #KeepDalStrong

APPBUSA is working hard to get their employer (Université Sainte-Anne) back to the table. Send a letter (appbusa.ca) today to show your support. @caut.bsky.social @msvufa.bsky.social @stfxaut.bsky.social @cbufa.bsky.social @acadiafaculty.bsky.social @astfassoc.bsky.social @cupe3912.bsky.social

Happy to be there representing 1300+ of those unionized workers. #KeepDalStrong

ANSUT stands in solidarity with @dalfaculty.bsky.social as they endure an unprecedented lockout initiated by the Dalhousie Board of Governors. Read the statement of support: www.ansut.ca/2025/08/ansu... #KeepDalStrong @caut.bsky.social @cupe3912.bsky.social

@dalfaculty.bsky.social wants to negotiate. @dalhousieu.bsky.social BoG walked away from conciliation & called a lockout while faculty were still voting on their offer. ANSUT stands in solidarity with colleagues at the DFA. #KeepDalStrong

Good news for this morning - congratulations to the @cupescfp.bsky.social Air Canada component. www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

History-changing day for labour relations at @dalhousieu.bsky.social. Lockout of faculty could begin as early as Wed morning. Rest assured, DFA members are ready for what is about to happen. #keepdalstrong @cupe3912.bsky.social @nsgeu.bsky.social @ansut.bsky.social @caut.bsky.social

The last post in our series re: the Aug 11 letter from @dalhousieu.bsky.social Pres Brooks to DFA Pres Westwood. RESPECT, VALUE, RECOGNITION of faculty have NOT been reflected at the table. Dal must do better to #KeepDalStrong. @cupe3912.bsky.social @ansut.bsky.social @caut.bsky.social

1300+ faculty from across NS stand in solidarity with you @dalfaculty.bsky.social, and thousands more from across Canada. We're watching this poor treatment of your faculty @dalhousieu.bsky.social
