[Fdu] Solidarity visit to Seneca College picket line: November 14

[Cynthia Wright]

[happening on York University campus tomorrow...CW]

Please join YUFA and other members of the York Cross-Campus Alliance for 
a solidarity visit to the Seneca College picket line in support of the 
college faculty who are on strike.

The strike is entering its fifth week and, with the cold weather and 
College Employer Council's reluctance to bargain a fair deal, it is of 
utmost importance for all allies to come out and show their solidarity 
with the striking faculty and support them in their struggle. YUFA 
encourages all members and allies to take the time (even if it is for a 
few minutes) to come out and show their support.

​

Background:


College faculty are facing underpaid contracts with no job security 
beyond one semester. Here are their main demands:

* A 50:50 ratio of full-time to contract faculty, which currently sits 
at over 70% contract faculty
* Increased job security for partial-load faculty, who currently work on 
one-semester contracts
* Academic freedom to give faculty a stronger voice in academic 
decision-making

Sign this letter <http://students4faculty.ca/> to tell the College 
Employer Council to get back to the bargaining table and negotiate a 
fair deal.
