Stop the gigification of teaching on our campuses in Ontario! Fairness for Contract Faculty means not only healthier working conditions for contract faculty, but better conditions for learning for our students, too! #Fairness4CF Read the op-ed from @ocufa.bsky.social here: bit.ly/4lmnVIp

A poster with white text on a green background that says: "Contract faculty are typically vastly underpaid, putting in countless hours of unpaid labour to support their students. They often receive no research support and few opportunities to contribute to the broader academic life of their universities. Their growing presence on campuses represents the quiet 'gigification' of university teaching." - Rob Kristofferson, OCUFA President

Canada’s universities and colleges are too reliant on precarious employment. Students rely on their teachers, and they deserve fair working conditions. Our country’s future relies on colleges and universities. They should be well-funded and strong. Visit education2025.ca. @caut.bsky.social

Politicians don’t get to dictate what is taught and researched at Canadian colleges and universities. Research and institutional funding shouldn’t come with political strings attached. Join us: education2025.ca

Solidarity with AMPL! "It cannot be emphasized enough how unusual it is in Canada for a publicly funded post-secondary institution to so aggressively (and unlawfully) resist its employees’ attempts to access collective bargaining." lawofwork.ca/on-mcgill-un...

Today marks our first day at the table with the Employer. We're optimistic for a productive and collegial round of bargaining.

MUALA has a new logo! We’ve stepped away from our Employer’s branding, and have adopted this woodcut from McMaster’s rare book collection. It's giving: "In solidarity."

We've officially submitted our intent to bargain to the Employer, and will begin collective bargaining May 2nd. We're eager to table a fair agreement that addresses the inequities faced by McMaster librarians compared to our peers in Ontario and U15. For more details: muala.ca/wp/
