I know I said I was going to talk about space exploration in the next few articles, but in the mean time while I research this more there is a very emotional and substantive topic I would like to discuss with all of you.
So, I'm not going to hold back punches on this because this is my blog and I will say what I want on this.
To the administration at Brock University: Go to Hell
To my Brothers and Sisters at CUPE Local 4207: Stay Strong, and I stand in Solidarity with all of you.
Brock University, as I have come to learn from my time there, is an institution rooted in making the lives of students, faculty and all other workers on campus a living nightmare. The strong-arm tactics of the University have gotten to the point where they are willing to break the laws of the Province of Ontario because they simply believe that they are better than everyone else.
Brock is taking advantage of 38 ESL Instructors, and the other unions on campus are not letting them get away with it.
Brock:
1) Refuses to honor its agreements made with employees at the University
2) Refuses to come back to the table, as CUPE 4207 just offered today, with the Provincial Mediator to work things out
3) Refuses to acknowledge the legitimate claims of workers on campus of harassment, hostile work conditions, contracting out, and other issues as addressed in the collective agreements they made between the them and the labour unions on campus.
I am asking for all of my readers to please support these workers. I once was part of their ranks, and I will always have their side because I know too well the living hell they are in right now. If you would like to know how to help them please get in touch with me at jwhalen4207@gmail.com
