In years now long past, Alberta’s government safeguarded education, research and innovation so the spark at the U of A could burn brightly. Now, chronic underfunding is putting that spark at risk. https://t.co/wuTFYOo4za

It should not be a surprise that unions representing highly-skilled and internationally-mobile workers are successfully bargaining to regain wage equity with their peer comparators. The era of concessions is over. https://t.co/C2W3qO0zvj

Now that the province has returned to a path of increasing prosperity, we are deeply concerned researchers, educators, and most vitally — Alberta’s students — will be left behind.

The AASUA is donating $4,000 to support striking academic staff @MUNFaculty. While it is disheartening to see multiple #pse employers pushing academic staff to job action this week, it is inspiring to see these workers are prepared to stand up for a fair deal.
