[Fdu] Tonight! The Politics of Bargaining in Higher Education

[Cynthia Wright]

Dear colleagues and friends,

As some of you will recall, the List took shape out of organizing during 
the 2015 CUPE strike on the U of T campus. It is almost three years 
later and CUPE locals are back at the bargaining tables. This week's 
salon thus takes on some added importance, and we hope to see many of 
you there. This is also a chance to toast the end of the term with 
friends, discussion, and great music!

*The Politics of Bargaining in Higher Education: *

*December 7, 2017, 7-9pm*

The Tranzac Club, 292 Brunswick Ave.

This event of the List will explore the politics of bargaining in higher 
education through a panel discussion among active members of faculty, 
librarian, instructor, student, and teaching assistants' unions and 
associations from local universities and colleges. Speakers will explore 
the common and distinct experiences of bargaining for unions 
representing teaching labour across institutions, and ask a series of 
questions about how we can build stronger solidarities in this moment. 
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?

Brown College
