Workers World: Ontario students support striking faculty
For the first time in 26 years, the Windsor University Faculty Association went on strike Sept. 17 at the University of Windsor, a university of 16,000 undergraduate and graduate students in southern Ontario.
Windsor University Faculty Association are
fighting for union pay scales and working
conditions that cover the part-time
instructors who now make up to 45 percent
of the teaching staff.
“This is an all-out effort by our association to send a message loud and clear to this administration that we want a collective agreement,” Brian Brown, president of WUFA, told a crowd of over 1,000 supporters Sept. 19 at the University of Windsor. “But we want it to be fair and equitable and just. And we don’t want to be at the bottom of the scale of Ontario universities.”
