CUPE 3912 supports the right to free assembly and peaceful protest and calls upon Dalhousie to reverse its position on restricting its gathering spaces. Being able to advocate for a cause by establishing a presence and occupying a space is fundamental to activism, including the objectives of a labour union. Dalhousie’s troubling decision to expel individuals in the community, including CUPE 3912 members, from its campus greenspace has severe implications for any other group looking to advocate for better quality of life.
