The Board of Governors has ratified the new collective agreement between Graduate Teaching Assistants and Western University. Our strike achieved several things, including a significant monetary gain and almost all of the clawbacks language we were asking for.

With the Board of Governors ratification, the new collective agreement for PSAC 610 is now official. All Teaching Assistants are proceeding with Return to Work protocols. If there are any questions about this process, please contact PSAC 610 directly.

We will continue to strike until our demands are met! Without strong clawback language in our collective agreement we cannot guarantee a real monetary increase for our members #RespectOurResearch #StarvingMustangs #WesternTAsOnStrike

We appreciate all the support the Grad Club has given us so far and we care very deeply about its employees! We hope that we can reach a deal soon, and that their business can continue to thrive. Anyone who is doing research or studying can still visit the Grad Club ✊

Due to the ongoing PSAC 610 GTA strike at Western, we are cancelling Rick McGhie's weekly performances and the upcoming Open Mic Night (scheduled for April 29) until the strike is over. We stand in solidarity with @PSAC610.

I love code words that don’t go together. For example, exams going on “as normal” but also reminding faculty if they know what to do in certain situations “…should there not be enough proctors present.” I also detected a little gaslighting in there. It’s on me to be prepared…

Who’s left behind when Westerns claims that it’s “business as usual” without its TAs? What happens to the thousands of accommodation requests? Often the only people that disabled students know who to reach out to is their TAs. What happens when their TAs can’t be there? @PSAC610

As TAs at #uwo enter our third day on strike, I wrote an open letter to share some thoughts from the frontlines. @psac610

Amazing energy & community support for @PSAC610 #StrikeAtWestern! Paying fair wages for labour shouldn’t be a difficult decision. Keeping people in poverty is. #ONpoli #onPSE #FairDealNow #ONLAB

If @WesternU dares to have non-TAs grade exams, this will be grade falsification, tarnishing its reputation as a research university @PSACOntario @Ldn_Labour @uwofa1 @cupe3903comms #StrikeAtWestern #FairDealNow

Joined @PSAC610 at Western University in solidarity with teaching assistants. TAs play a huge role in supporting students and keeping universities running. They deserve to be paid fair wages that reflect the rising cost of living. #onpoli #onPSE #FairDealNow #StrikeAtWestern
