Week 3 of being on strike, and the board keeps sabotaging negotiations by trying to bargain in public.
Still, hoping that a conciliator in the room on Monday will finally let us make peogress!

One week of being locked out by Dalhousie with not a single word from the board since. With the teaching term supposed to start next week, its getting a bit stressful.
Good thing we have Luna the therapy dog to keep us company, with a cute DFA branded bandanna!!

TIL that walking past picketers who are doing the “try to get passing cars to honk” thing and yelling “HONK! HONK!” does not immediately get read as support. 😬 (But smiling and waving while you yell it does seem to clarify matters 😆)

1st time I’ve ever seen a rare albino squirrel 🐿️ in Halifax. Fitting, since it’s also the 1st time a U15 university has locked out its faculty instead of negotiating a fair deal. In fact I went for a run to help manage the anxiety of not being in the classroom teaching where I belong! #KeepDalStrong

It’s #caturday. Week 3 of my human’s defensive strike. She says no “fancy” salmon mousse til this is resolved. Unacceptable. I volunteered to attend Monday’s conciliation to tell the Dal Board to stop the nonsense already; enough of their catty tactics. But need treats involved. #keepdalstrong

Senate must ask leadership to explain this Aug18 claim: "If a labour disruption is inevitable, then it’s in Dalhousie Univ’s best interest to move to that stage now"
Why was disruption "inevitable"?
What "interest" does this refer to?
Show Senate the evidence for this conclusion.

At today’s DFA rally, I was pleasantly surprised to see a silly meme I made blown up on a picket sign. Definitely adding meme famous to my CV. If I’m ever not locked out. Attached again for your consideration. I think it’s just as appropriate now.
