OCUFA Day of Action for CAS

March 9, 2022

This Wednesday the 9th of March is OCUFA’s annual Social Media Day of Action in Support of Contract Faculty and Other Precarious Workers on Campuses.

This year, OCUFA’s materials are specifically designed to support the nine faculty associations that are bargaining for a better deal for contract faculty—including our own.

Below please find three quick ways you can show support for CAS on Wednesday (the last one doesn’t require a social media account).

In solidarity,
Honor

1.  30-Second Action:

Follow the SJU ASA on Twitter.  The SJU ASA has joined Twitter to better connect with members and with other faculty associations.  If you are on Twitter, please follow @sjuasa and amplify our Tweets on Wednesday and throughout bargaining.

2.  One-Minute Action:

On Wednesday, Tweet one (or more) of OCUFA’s ready-made messages, or write your own Tweet.  You can add one of the two OCUFA Twitter Graphics attached.

Option I:

A commitment to workplace equity means job security, equal pay and benefits for contact faculty and all precarious workers.

We need fairness for contract faculty now.

#fariness4CF #CdnPSE #OnPSE #EDI @sjuasa

Option II:

Precarious workers at #OnPSE are committed to their jobs, students, and communities.

Administrations need to put their commitment to equitable workplaces into action and provide fairness for contract faculty and all precarious #OnPSE workers.

#fairness4CF #CdnPSE #EDI @sjuasa

Option III:

Equity-deserving groups are overrepresented in precarious jobs including contract faculty across the country.

A commitment to #EDI means fairness for contract faculty and all precarious workers.

#CdnPSE #OnPSE #fairness4CF @sjuasa

3.  Two-Minute Action:

Post OCUFA’s LEARN Announcement graphic about contract faculty (attached) on your course LEARN pages this week as an announcement for students, many of whom don’t know what contract faculty are.

  • Click on the ‘Announcements’ widget on your course’s homepage.
  • Click the blue ’New Item’ button.
  • Write ‘OCUFA Day of Action for Contract Faculty’ in the announcement ‘headline’.
  • Copy and paste the bullet points in the attached document ‘OCUFA LEARN Announcement Bullet Points’ into the announcement ‘content’ (you can include all the points or pick and choose).
  • To add the OCUFA LEARN Announcement Graphic, download the graphic from this e-mail.  Go back to your announcement and click the ‘add image’ button (the one that looks like a mountain).  Click ‘My Computer’ and then ‘Choose File’, and select the OCUFA LEARN Announcement Graphic.  Click ‘Upload’.
  • Click the blue ‘Publish’ button at the bottom of your screen.
