#FlashbackFriday Week 6! We are nearing the end of the McCarthy case...last week we finished off by telling you about the @acadiastudents hunger strike & the decision by AUFA to approach the Canadian Association of University Teachers (@CAUT_ACPPU ) to help support McCarthy. 1/13
Week 5 of our #FlashbackFriday series on the history of AUFA's unionization continues today! We left off with the decision NOT to renew McCarthy's contract (for a second time)...but didn't quite reveal why. Here's what the Dean of Music, Vern Ellis, cited as reasons: 1/8 https://twitter.com/AcadiaFaculty/status/1433775520710266892
@AcadiaFaculty @AcadiaSociology That was the year I graduated - folks said the 70s at Acadia was like the 60s everywhere else. Bob came back though & won more students’ hearts.
The plot thickens! Love this story about student collective action in 1975. Pert of the context of @AcadiaFaculty decision to unionize in 1977. https://twitter.com/AcadiaFaculty/status/1436420337747566601

AUFA Unionization #FlashbackFriday Week 4! What happened at the 03/20/74 meeting? @acadiastudents argued that McCarthy "could not get an impartial hearing from his peers, or indeed from anyone in authority @AcadiaU" so he later met w/ the Independent Hearing Committee...1/ https://twitter.com/AcadiaFaculty/status/1432443311739056131
Today’s Collective Agreement highlight for #WorkforceWednesday is all about FREEDOM! An ironic choice on the first day of classes as the summer officially comes to an end? 🤔 No, no, we aren’t talking about the freedom of summer, we’re talking about ACADEMIC freedom 1/10
