CUPE 3912 is teaming up with the Association of Nova Scotia University Teachers (ANSUT) and Dalhousie Faculty Association (DFA) to run a social media campaign during Fair Employment Week.
Every fall, the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) conducts the Make It Fair campaignhttp://makeitfair.caut.ca to raise awareness of precarious employment at universities across Canada.
From October 21-25, CUPE 3912, ANSUT and DFA would like to highlight on X, Instagram and Facebook the contributions made by our part-time faculty/ICA members. The social media template below is an example of how the graphic would look; the design will also include the CUPE 3912 logo and may have additional changes, but this is the general idea. The post accompanying these ads on social media will contain stats about contract workers, but the idea is to show the value part-time faculty bring, even as they face precarious working conditions.
If you would like to participate, please send to Erica (VP SMU PT Faculty) the following things:
- Photo (head and shoulders, or an action shot, whichever you prefer)
- Current position, department and university
- Years you have worked at DAL/MSVU/NSCAD/SMU
- And something you want us to highlight, such as your research interests, committee or union involvement, special project – a few things you do in addition to your teaching. (If you have a website people can visit for more info, please include that as well.)
To participate in this campaign, please send the above information by Friday, October 18.
