Unions march on campus, demand respect for researchers
More than 150 members from multiple unions on campus gathered on UC Hill Wednesday at noon to demand increased funding for researchers from the provincial government.
The Public Service Alliance of Canada Local 610 — the Teaching Assistants’ and Postdoctoral Associates’ Union — organized the demonstration. The union is currently negotiating a new collective agreement for TAs with the university, after the previous agreement expired on Aug. 31.
The librarian and archivists union is currently negotiating its collective agreement with the university and will be in a legal strike position on Oct. 4 if they failed to reach an agreement.
... Western’s research and infrastructure is built on the 44 librarians and archivists, but the ratio of 900 students for each librarian is outrageous.
