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

Tell the government: Protect our right to strike!

Memorial received the funding it asked for. So why is every academic unit facing cuts? MUNFA has serious concerns about the 2026-27 operating budget and what it means for faculty, staff, and the students counting on them. Read our full statement. 1/2 #wearemun

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

The economic case for investing in Memorial hasn’t weakened, but the province’s commitment has. It’s time for the provincial government to act accordingly. (Read the full report in our Bio) #WeAreMUN

Our institution's guidelines for exams: "There should be at least one invigilator for every 50 students." Our administration: you should be teaching classes of 350 students and have only one lab instructor for 144 students spread over two rooms. @munfaculty.bsky.social @munsu35.bsky.social

While government spending has increased by roughly 40% over the past 10 years, MUN has absorbed a 10% cut. The people paying the price are students and the faculty who teach them. 3/4

Course sections are disappearing. First-year Math Class sizes have grown by 67%. Teaching Term Appointments are being cut without consultation. Students are losing access to the courses and supports they need to succeed. 2/4

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.]
