Imagine every school, house, hospital and public space is on fire. We know that fire extinguishers and sprinkler systems work, but we're not using them because we're afraid of fire debt. Officials say you can send you can choose to send your kid with a personal fire extinguisher

With news of a tentative agreement this seems like a good time to share this: @CUPE3912 #DalStrike

Who could have seen that coming? #DalStrike @CUPE3912

We would like to thank #CUPE for demonstrating the power of organized labour. #Contractfaculty and @laurier have been taking note.

Is equity really a @laurier core value when #contractfaculty have limited access to pensions and benefits & many have to work multiple jobs to make ends meet?
Where is the action plan and where is the accountability?

It took a few days to sink in but it's endlessly funny the PR efforts @DalhousieU has made during the #DalStrike to try to blame @CUPE3912

@DalPres resolution begins with acknowledging the valid concerns of @CUPE3912 members. 1800 academics are on week 3 of strike action. We want wage parity. We want an end to the exploitation of marker/demos who are paid $8 less for the same job as TAs.

It has been amazing seeing the support for @CUPE3912 from the general public and from other unions. #DalStrike #FairPayNow
ALT A meme using an image from the Avengers Infinity War film, the caption is "unions and the public voicing support for C U P E 3912 like" and the image is a large number of heroes arriving to the battlefield via portals

Either you support unprecedented government overreach to quash fundamental Charter rights.
Or
You support a province wide general strike to resist unprecedented government overreach quashing fundamental Charter rights.

Memo to the media: Please don't say inflation is at a 40-year high without also mentioning that corporate profits are at a 70-year high. Give the people the full picture.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if CUPE workers are essential to keeping schools open and kids in class…then they are also essential enough to receive a decent wage. I urge you: Support CUPE workers…and stand against starvation wages everywhere. #IStandWithCUPE
