The right to strike gives workers power to stand up to big corporations and demand better wages. The federal government shouldn’t take that power away. share.canadianlabour.ca/s/Iqa2mL7i @munfaculty.bsky.social @nlfl.bsky.social @munfa-grenfell.bsky.social

In 2024, Premier Wakeham said abandoning Memorial University and telling it to 'go fix your problems' was 'not good enough.' These are his own words, on the record with CBC. Budget-2026 is his chance to prove he believed them. Source in our Bio. #WeAreMUN

Provinces across Canada are investing in post-secondary education. Ontario. Saskatchewan. Meanwhile, Newfoundland and Labrador’s only university faces cuts, fewer courses, and larger classes. The NL budget is coming. This government has a clear choice to make. #WeAreMUN bit.ly/4sbzKD2 bit.ly/4tkgbsX

These are the kinds of stories we keep hearing. A course that changed someone’s life. A reason someone stayed in Newfoundland and Labrador. A degree that helped build a career, a business, a future. A hope that the next generation gets the same chance. 1/2 #WeAreMUN

When I was in grade 8 or 9 a professor from the Corner Brook campus organized a math Olympiad event in my town for students. My team did well in the event and it was one of the first times that I knew I could succeed at university and encouraged my path in astronomy. #WeAreMUN

Across Memorial, we are seeing the real impacts of ongoing funding cuts. Programs are changing. Jobs are being lost. Teaching and learning conditions are under pressure. The impacts are not abstract. They affect our classrooms, our colleagues, and our students.1/3 #WeAreMUN

According to admin, early retirement packages are problematic because they mean a loss of the people we really need. How is this different than firing contractual faculty? #WeAreMUN @munfaculty.bsky.social [I posted this question at town hall, but is it "waiting for review" and not being released.]
