The number of Vice-presidents (VPs) @MemorialU went from 3 in 2000 to 7 in 2022 as per its financial statements, while the student population increased by 13.5% in the same period (from 16,756 to 19,020) #FairDealAtMUN #FairDealAtMUNL

Great imagination being shown by strikers at MUN. This was my favourite thing on (an increasingly glitchy) the bird app yesterday. Shared with permission from Dr. Lockett. #FairDealAtMUN #Solidarity #PowerInTheUnion

#FairDealAtMUN #mockumentary #short https://youtu.be/ii_L6geREhU Some picket line humour. There is power in a union. One day longer, one day stronger

Insightful discussion with previous Provost of Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador about the corporatization of the university.

"The former professor and dean says changing things from the inside was futile.

But today, she says, there’s a glimmer of hope, evidenced by the solidarity being shown for faculty members on the picket lines."

Day 4 on the line #FairDealAtMUN Admin needs to get back to the bargaining table - we are firmly resolved to be out here until we have a Fair Deal. Our most vulnerable contractual colleagues deserve better job security #solidarity #highereducation

Trying to keep up and post some #FairDealAtMUN deets on here as well as the bird app. We have our first rally tomorrow - come on out and join us at Arts and Admin at noon, Friday Feb 3.

Let's rally!! Support for a #FairDealAtMUN is growing! Come out and show your support tomorrow (Friday)!
C'mon make some noise, bring all your bells and noise toys! Get ready to shout out for a fair deal! We've got support from local unions and those across the country flying in!

#FairDealAtMUN #solidarity Thank you to @kozycanuck for spending the day getting the burn barrels set up for all of us walking the line. Spirits are high, faculty and students united. Working conditions are student learning conditions. Let’s go - we are looking to the leadership of Memorial University to do what makes sense and to the provincial government too. Do we want a second class (or lower level) learning institution in the province?

Students do NOT need to apologize for a GD thing. We see you, we're here for you, you're the reason we're doing this. #FairDealAtMUN https://twitter.com/scottvharding/status/1620084084633657344

When my colleagues @AcadiaFaculty were on a month-long strike in Feb 2022, we were sustained by the solidarity from faculty and students across the country. As @cbufa enters week 2 and @MUNFaculty begins their strike, know that we have your back. #StandtheGaff #FairDealAtMUN

All you stylish supporters of a #FairDealAtMUN can now use a circular profile picture for Twitter and FB and buttons. Please enjoy and distribute. I'm here all week (unless they go back to the table and get a #FairDealAtMUN, of course).

First day on the picket line #FairDealAtMUN. We want collegial governance and protection for our most vulnerable contract workers, and equity in terms of course/workloads and in post retirement benefits.

Solidarity with my former MUN colleagues who are on strike for a #FairDealAtMUN

This account is maintained by students. We stand in solidarity with @MUNFaculty@twitter.com for a #FairDealAtMUN . For collective rights, we support equal employment for contract workers. We support collegial governance for university decision-making.

Good morning from the first day of the @MUNFaculty strike! Cloudy and grey with a massive bright spot coming through (weather metaphor!). The wind is biting cold, so wear longjohns, snow pants, and scarfs on the picket line, colleagues. #nlwx #FairDealAtMUN

Ready and willing to strike for a #FairDealAtMUN. In spite of #adminspin, this is not about salary, frozen since 2016. This is about governance, transparency and fairness for precarious contract workers, and 100 unfilled teaching positions but 40% more admin positions.

@lyingb I’m holding out hope that there will be a last minute breakthrough but also making all the plans for not teaching next week. This is so stressful for everyone but there does need to be a #FairDealAtMUN

It’s looking likely that I’ll be on strike on Monday, because Memorial University won’t agree to more collegial governance. That makes me sad. #FairDealAtMUN

To make up for a downer post, here’s a picture of Mick and Keith playing on the stairs.
