Special thanks to DFA President Dave Westwood for his steady hand during the recent month-long lockout. Long days, little sleep, setbacks & ultimately big wins - Dave never wavered. Our union is stronger as a result of his steadfast leadership. Caricature (by www.JillQuinnBabcock.com) #keepdalstrong

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

Leslie Kenwell, Dental Hygiene LTA at dalhousieu.bsky.social - "My most recent 2yr term ended June 30. I have been granted a 1yr term extension - not a reappointment - with no promise of anything after that. My precariousness has increased." @ansut.bsky.social @cupe3912.bsky.social #KeepDalStrong

Great things happened on the picket lines. But students & faculty belong in the classrooms & labs doing amazing things together. Sept 23! (Found this mug at a thrift store just before the @dalhousieu.bsky.social Board filed notice of lockout - today felt like the day to post it) #KeepDalStrong

Dalhousie Faculty Association @dalfaculty.bsky.social · 18/09/2025

DFA members accepted the agreement/back-to-work protocol. @dalhousieu.bsky.social also ratified. Faculty will be back in the classrooms/labs with students Tuesday. Thanks to our members for their resolve, to students for their support and to unions across Canada for having our backs. #KeepDalStrong

It's been almost four weeks since the @dalhousieu.bsky.social lockout of DFA faculty began. Progress has been made. Now, it's time for President Brooks to step in and get the Board to accept what is a fair and reasonable offer by the DFA. Let's get on with the term. #keepdalstrong

DFA members Drew Bourret, Jen Frail-Gauthier and Tony Walker being interviewed on the exploitation of precarious workers in PSE. Short-term teaching contracts for long-term teaching needs does not keep any university strong. Thanks for the opportunity, St. FX Social Justice Radio. #KeepDalStrong

Shout out to Mat Whynott of the Canadian Labour Congress for his ongoing support of our Truro picketers. Mat comes with subs, a smile, and his CLC flag to boost our picketers and to #KeepDalStrong @cautdefencefund.bsky.social

Dalhousie Faculty Association @dalfaculty.bsky.social · 08/09/2025

The @dalhousieu.bsky.social Board of Governors is NOT delivering on their mandate. These are a few of the more obvious areas in which they are failing the university community. What will they do to clean up this mess they have created? #KeeDalStrong

0125

Dalhousie Faculty Association @dalfaculty.bsky.social · 08/09/2025

A great big thank you to the Association of Dalhousie Retirees and Pensioners for their financial support! They also attend every rally to cheer us on and show their solidarity to #KeepDalStrong @dalhousieu.bsky.social @cautdefencefund.bsky.social @caut.bsky.social @ansut.bsky.social

Conciliation bet the @dalhousieu.bsky.social and the DFA starts today 9 am. One month ago today the Board walked away from conciliation. Let's hope they return to engage in meaningful bargaining, reach agreement, get students and faculty back to class! #KeepDalStrong @cautdefencefund.bsky.social

DFA is new to LinkedIn. Connect with us and read the article related to this image. Hint: Its about how a reputation that took 200 years to build has been destroyed in just 3 weeks. @KeepDalStrong

Dalhousie Faculty Association @dalfaculty.bsky.social · 05/09/2025

Today, DFA Exec agreed to amend the complaint filed late Aug with the NS Labour Board. The @dalhousieu.bsky.social Board's attempt to divide the DFA members has backfired. We stand united in the fight to #KeepDalStrong. We welcome productive conciliation meetings on Monday.

Dalhousie Faculty Association @dalfaculty.bsky.social · 04/09/2025

When a DFA member has been on LTA for 5 yrs, the position is clearly meeting a long-term teaching need. LTAs are on the same pay as career-stream faculty, conversion costs @dalhousieu.bsky.social nothing. Yet, they said no, asked us to drop the proposal for "interest arbitration." #KeepDalStrong

1188

Dalhousie Faculty Association @dalfaculty.bsky.social · 04/09/2025

DFA was asked to drop this proposal for "interest arbitration". Accommodations for caregiving responsibilities seems like a reasonable ask of one of Atlantic Canada's "top employers". This is easily done and costs nothing. But @dalhousieu.bsky.social said no. #KeepDalStrong

0149

Dalhousie Faculty Association @dalfaculty.bsky.social · 03/09/2025

DFA proposal that @DalhousieU demanded we drop for "interest arbitration"- Dal increase child care spots at Dal to benefit all parents at Dal, not just faculty. Not fully discussed before the Board left conciliation. #KeepDalStrong

Dalhousie Faculty Association @dalfaculty.bsky.social · 03/09/2025

Picketing doesn't just take place on the streets! DFA has a team of virtual picketers working behind the scenes, blogging, researching, cataloguing photos, monitoring media, writing thank you letters, tracking donations ... the list goes on! Shout out to all! #KeepDalStrong

Dalhousie Faculty Association @dalfaculty.bsky.social · 02/09/2025

DFA proposed a $500/yr increase in the Health Spending Account. About 60% of DFA members max out this benefit. This increase would cost @dalhousieu.bsky.social approx $300k/yr. But they wouldn't discuss it. The Board has saved $5.6 MILLION by having faculty locked out for 2 weeks. #keepdalstrong

02416

Dalhousie Faculty Association @dalfaculty.bsky.social · 30/08/2025

1000 faculty members have been locked out of @dalhousieu.bsky.social since Aug 18. That means 90% of classes WILL NOT start next week. The Board of Governors needs to come back to the table and stop playing with the future of our students. #keepdalstrong
