PSE unions join push against AB Bill 2

Postsecondary staff and faculty have joined other organizations in pushing back against the Government of Alberta’s Bill 2, which orders striking teachers in the province back to work. The Alberta Federation of Labour published an open letter to the Government of Alberta that was cosigned by province-wide unions such as the Alberta Colleges and Institutes Faculties Association and the Confederation of Alberta Faculty Associations, as well as unions from institutions such as MacEwan University, Mount Royal University, the University of Alberta, and the University of Lethbridge. NAIT issued a letter reminding staff and faculty that any participation in protest activities is expected to take place “outside scheduled work hours, so student learning and supports are not impacted.”
