Replying to @Mitskeep
The director of southpaw ns is ghosting me and hiding my cats’ diagnosis from other adopters. My cats were with at least 6 others when I picked them up from the foster family. I have the medical and doctors statements to prove my claim

Nearly 1000 DFA members will be put to the picket lines tmr 930 am by @DalhousieU. A first for Canada's research intensive universities. Reckless move by the Board - jeopardizing the fall term, ruining relations with faculty for years. Join the picket lines to #keepdalstrong

The Liberal government has invoked Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code to end a strike by Air Canada flight attendants fighting to end unpaid work and poverty wages.

Get to a CUPE AC Component picket line this weekend. Flight attendants deserve to be paid for the hours they work. #aircanadastrike #CUPE #StandWithCUPE

I can’t imagine how awful it is to be on the #cupe3912 negotiating team at Dalhousie. When all I wanted to do was do an exit interview and explain my experiences as a grad student and precarious faculty member to them, it took weeks of fighting for it…

The bargaining meeting today just broke my heart. @DalhousieU reps are on the sunshine list. They yelled at us on why we should accept their offer. And when we advocated for our lowest paid @CUPE3912 members, they laughed. Let that sink in.

Hey @DalhousieU - have you considered your deal still isn’t good enough? My colleagues at similar institutions still make >$40/hr for their TAships. Your offer is <75% of that. #DalStrike I continue to stand with @CUPE3912 👏🏼 PS the tone of your email is disappointing.

As a member of the CUPE 3912 bargaining team, this is blatant hypocrisy! Dal admin has told us insulting and discriminatory reasons as to why our members don’t deserve wage parity! Step 1 of your equity plan should be paying @CUPE3912 members wages they deserve!

We’re deepening our commitment to employment equity, with a new Employment Equity Plan, which is a comprehensive, actionable plan that seeks to increase the recruitment of employees from equity-deserving groups and enhance their experience once at Dal. bit.ly/3WlT0z4

TA, M/D are also undergrad/grad students. @DalhousieU is exploiting children to teach other children. It is appalling!! @CUPE3912 members are on week 2 of striking JUST to get a liveable wage and not be exploited!

Correction: on week 3 now
@DalhousieU uses loopholes like hiring under marker/demonstrator (M/D)categories to pay @CUPE3912 members $8 for doing Teaching assistant (TA) work. A M/D is a TA with a pay cut. TAs also make on average $10 less than their peer at other universities.

@DalhousieU recruits from all over the world and charges one of the highest tuition in the country, yet our wages are amongst the lowest.

@CUPE3912 Teaching Assistants (TAs), Markers and Demonstrators (M/D) are crucial to the learning of students in these faculties and we have been striking for fair wages for 2 weeks. TAs and M/D are students too. @DalhousieU is exploiting kids to teach other kids.#DalStrike

Teaching Assistants are paid $10 lessor than their peers at other universities. M/D do TA work yet are paid $8 less. @DalhousieU charges high tuition but our wages are amongst the lowest. 80% of classes are affected and labs/tutorials are shut down. The hypocrisy is appalling.

Show up and picket with @CUPE3912 members. The majority of @CUPE3912 members are also students in their grad/undergrad studies. @DalhousieU is literally exploiting kids to teach other kids. #DalStrike

Thank you to the incredible @DalStudentUnion and exec team for supporting The Student Strike where our students walked out of class in support of their PTAs and TAs! The amazing turnout is a powerful testament to how much our students @DalhousieU value us!
