Faculty, librarians and archivists refuse to do the work of striking @CUPE2361 workers despite repeated requests by the #WesternU administration. We say NO to violations of our collective agreements and YES to solidarity with our trades, grounds and caretaking colleagues!

Small groups. Impromptu conversations. Interesting people. A free, ad-hoc series of gatherings, held just after an interesting discussion, for about an hour, on Zoom.
