@westernu.ca numbers tell a clear story: more than $1.5 billion in surpluses since 2015, growing reserves, and enrolment rising faster than investment in full-time faculty. The issue is not just sectoral pressure. It is priorities. shorturl.at/y6anO
On April 28, the labour movement marks the National Day of Mourning, honouring workers who have died, been injured or become ill because of their work.
We encourage academic staff associations to stand with the labour movement in the ongoing fight to build safer, healthier workplaces for everyone.

Inspiring to see students speaking out at the Save OSAP walkout this week. President Shawn Hendrikx and Past President Johanna Weststar attended in solidarity. Financial strain affects students’ academic choices and well being. Accessible and affordable education matters! #saveosap #onpse

Across Canada, 48% of college and university students report struggling with the cost of tuition fees. That’s almost HALF of students.
Federal student grants are on the chopping block. Student support should be increasing, not decreasing.
