The Faculty Association has been actively supporting our sister associations that have had to go on strike. This solidarity has included donations to striking faculty associations, as well as participation in pickets at the striking institution. Flying pickets are organized by the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) Defence Fund. The CAUT Defence Fund operates a large strike fund that members such as the Faculty Association of the University of Calgary contribute to and can access during a strike.
David Stewart (Past President) and Justine Wheeler (Officer-at-Large) recently joined the picket line at the Association of McGill Professors of Law (AMPL) who have been on strike since April 24th. The Faculty Association has also supported AMPL with a donation.
