Today is OCUFA's annual contract faculty social media day of action. This #ONelection, we are asking political parties to stop the gigification of teaching and provide permanent, stable jobs for contract faculty. Join the movement for #Fairness4CF t.co/AQ4MDkJC4c

This election, ask your candidates to: Stop the gigification of teaching. Reform the Employment Standards Act language to include equal pay for work of equivalent value for workers in the province, including contract faculty, using pro rata system.

🗳️The Ontario election is February 27th. ➡️Send a message to the party leaders asking them to commit to supporting Ontario universities to help them drive innovation and economic growth. #ONpoli #ONPSE #Fairness4CF buff.ly/4k2uXRA

This election, ask your candidates to: Stop the gigification of teaching. For many contract faculty, "part time" teaching is not their side job. It's their only job and sole source of inclome. Hiring contract faculty into permanent positions will create good jobs on our campuses and allow them to invest in their local economies. On February 27 vote for job security! OCUFA

It doesn’t have to be this way. With an 11.75% increase in funding, universities could make more permanent, tenured positions for contract faculty. #Fairness4CF #MakeItFair #CDNPSE ocufa.on.ca/fairness makeitfair.caut.ca

#MAKEITFAIR for Contract Academic Staff. 53% of Canadian faculty are underpaid, and they're untenured, which means they don't have job security.

Ontario is in last place compared to all other provinces and territories when it comes to funding the university sector. #Fairness4CF #MakeItFair #CDNPSE ocufa.on.ca/fairness makeitfair.caut.ca

#MAKEITFAIR for Contract Academic Staff. The Ontario government can help end the precarious work crisis on campus by properly funding universities.

Too many contract faculty have to reapply for their jobs every term and don’t know if they will be teaching semester-to-semester or year-to-year. #Fairness4CF #MakeItFair #CDNPSE ocufa.on.ca/fairness makeitfair.caut.ca

#MAKEITFAIR for Contract Academic Staff. Workers across the province are fighting for fairness and job security, benefits, and qual pay for equal work.

It’s time for job security, fair pay, and benefits for contract faculty! Faculty working conditions are student learning conditions. #Fairness4CF #MakeItFair #CDNpse

#MAKEITFAIR for contract academic staff. More than 84% of Ontarians think contract faculty should receive fair pay, access to benefits, and be converted into full time positions.

@OCUFA is calling on the provincial government to invest 11.75% into our universities over the next five years to ensure #Fairness4CF, students, and all campus workers to improve campus conditions for everyone. #TogetherWeCan #OnLAB #BrockU #OnPOLI #CDNPSE #ONPSE #ONLAB ocufa.on.ca/fairness

A group of people of diverse identities stands around an image of the Ontario legislative building with a circle pointing at the building, which reads 11.75%. Some people are smiling, some have their fists raised. A banner under them reads: Together, we can! Under the banner, a message box contains the statement: together, we can improve working conditions for faculty and learning conditions for students. Many contract faculty face unfair working conditions, and all faculty are facing unsustainable workloads. For faculty, this means less time for research and course development. For students, this means larger classes, less one-on-one student-faculty engagement, and fewer opportunities for mentorship and advising. For the community, it means less time for faculty to engage in pioneering research that can benefit Ontario economically, culturally, and socially.

With an 11.75% increase in provincial #OnPSE funding, we could bring student-to-faculty ratios closer to the national average and make more contract faculty permanent. #Fairness4CF #BrockU #OnLAB #OnPOLI #CdnPSE #TogetherWeCan ocufa.on.ca/fairness

Some people are smiling, some have their fists raised. A banner under them reads: Together, we can! Under the banner, a message box contains the statement: Together, we can win job security for contract faculty. Contract faculty are hired by individual course or on limited-term appointments. Many must reapply for their jobs every term, are hired to teach courses for less pay than their full-time, tenure-stream colleagues, and lack access to benefits.
