For Students...

Student support is essential to any job action by faculty; as we fight for the quality of education and working conditions at the University of Windsor, we have student concerns in mind. As class size expands and more and more courses are taught by non-research faculty, we understand that studentsÕ experiences are further impoverished. Without a fair and equitable collective agreement [our contract], we wonÕt be able to recruit and retain excellent faculty, and the university and its reputation will suffer.

WUFA believes that the administrations current proposals would hurt students more [and in the long run] than a faculty strike. Faculty and librarians are fighting for the quality of both the educational experience of students and of a degree from this university. Historically, no faculty strike in Canada has ever resulted in the lost of an academic semester for students. StudentÕs overall education will not be compromised by a strike.

Students are encouraged to attend information rallies and pass motions of support through full-time and part-time, graduate and undergraduate councils. You might also contact the administration and urge them to conclude these negotiations in a timely manner so that there will be no disruptions, however brief, to the university.

 

Undergraduate students are encouraged to visit the UWSA web site for more information: http://www.uwsa.ca/wufa-negotiations/

Some students have also set up a Facebook site: UofW Students Support WUFA, Demand that Administration Resolve the Strike.
