Too many contract faculty have to reapply for their jobs every term and don’t know if they will be teaching semester-to-semester or year-to-year. #Fairness4CF #MakeItFair @caut.bsky.social

Such an amazing show of solidarity! Reps from 20 faculty associations from coast to coast came to join the fight. The Board at @dalhousieu.bsky.social is not just fighting 1000 DFA members - they’re fighting an entire army. #keepdalstrong

#Election2025 is under way and it’s time to speak out for PSE.

Drastic cuts and threats to academia and research have shown that PSE is facing a crisis.

Our institutions are the key to Canada’s future.

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.

It’s election day in Ontario and universities and colleges need your help.

Ontario colleges and universities are facing drastic program cuts, layoffs and campus closures.

Don’t forget to vote today – tell the Ontario government they need to act NOW to save PSE.

Today is OCUFA's annual contract faculty social media day of action. This #ONElxn, we are asking political parties to stop the gigification of teaching and provide permanent, stable jobs for contract faculty. Join the movement for #Fairness4CF @ocufa.bsky.social t.co/AQ4MDkJC4c

This election, ask your candidates to: Stop the gigification of teaching. Reform the Employment Standards Act language to include equal pay for work of equivalent value for workers in the province, including contract faculty, using pro rata system. Vote for equal pay for equal work on February 27. OCUFA

🗳️The Ontario election is February 27th. ➡️Send a message to the party leaders asking them to commit to supporting Ontario universities to help them drive innovation and economic growth. #ONpoli #ONPSE #Fairness4CF @ocufa.bsky.social buff.ly/4k2uXRA

This election, ask your candidates to: Stop the gigification of teaching. For many contract faculty, "part time" teaching is not their side job. It's their only job and sole source of inclome. Hiring contract faculty into permanent positions will create good jobs on our campuses and allow them to invest in their local economies. On February 27 vote for job security! OCUFA

On February 27th, vote to end the gigification of teaching. Universities need a funding model that supports long-term, stable, and permanent positions for contract faculty. Email the party leaders now and ask them to commit to #Fairness4CF. #ONpoli#ONPSE buff.ly/4k2uXRA

This election, ask your candidates to: Stop the gigification o teaching. End the precarious work crisis on campuses by introducing an updated funding model that allows universities to commit long-term, stable and permanent employment fot contract faculty members. @OCUFA

On Canadian university and college campuses, students should be free to learn and teachers free to teach. Post-secondary education needs to remain free from political interference.

Sur les campus collégiaux et universitaires canadiens, la population étudiante doit être libre d’apprendre et le corps professoral doit être libre d’enseigner. L’enseignement postsecondaire doit être libre de toute ingérence politique.
