MSVU Academic Workers Begin Strike Today

Strike at Mount Saint Vincent University: Over 150 part-time academic workers at MSVU are striking due to stalled negotiations over job security and wages, highlighting their struggle to make ends meet despite their educational roles.

CUPE 3912's Advocacy: CUPE 3912, representing part-time faculty and teaching assistants, is fighting against precarious contracts and low wages to ensure quality education and support for both workers and students in Nova Scotia.

Lack of Benefits: The striking workers currently do not receive health benefits or a pension, and the employer is unwilling to discuss these issues unless wage demands are accepted.

Recent Developments: A tentative agreement was reached with Dalhousie University, while CUPE 3912 is also in negotiations with Saint Mary’s University, indicating ongoing efforts to improve conditions for academic workers.
