text-align:justify">In the context of the recent
OPSEU back-to-work order and with possibility of
more campus strikes to come in the new year, this
salon will explore the politics of bargaining in
higher education. Join us for a discussion among
active members of faculty, librarian, instructor,
student, and teaching assistants' unions and
associations from George Brown, York and U of T. We
ask: What models of higher education are our
institutions assembling today? How can we build
solidarity across divided campuses and across
institutions in the region? How can we build
stronger solidarity with and among undergraduates?
And how can campus labour movements build cultures
and solidarities that centre racial and gender
justice in their work? <br>
