A unique recognition gift for DFA President Dave Westwood as a special thanks for his steady hand during the recent month-long lockout. Long days, little sleep, setbacks and ultimately big wins ... Dave never wavered. Our union is stronger as a result of his steadfast leadership. At the DFA Solidarity Party earlier this week, Dave was presented with this caricature (created by Jill Quinn Babcock)

Contract academic staff have many names, but what they all have in common is a lack of job security and access to resources.

CAUT Fair Employment Week ends today but let's continue the call for the fair treatment of contract academic staff. ANSUT CUPE Nova Scotia

10/23/2025

It’s Fair Employment Week — and the irony couldn’t be clearer. CUPE Local 3912 members are on strike, fighting for the very thing this week stands for: fair pay and job security.

Contract Academic Staff are researchers, community builders, and extraordinary teachers. Yet more than half juggle multiple short-term contracts just to make ends meet. Imagine the potential if their work was valued with stability and fair compensation.

ANSUT stands in solidarity with CUPE 3912 and all Contract Academic Staff who are demanding fairness, respect, and recognition.

During Fair Employment Week (October 20-24, 2025), ANSUT is working with Dalhousie Faculty Association and CUPE Local 3912 to showcase the value that contract academic workers bring to their universities and their students.

CAS are the backbone of many academic programs — teaching up to 50% of undergraduate courses in some faculties. They bring real-world expertise and fresh ideas, but too often without security or benefits. It’s time to value their work fairly.

Every day, but especially today, as CUPE Local 3912 workers begin their strike for fair working conditions at Mount Saint Vincent University, let's show them that we value their contributions.
