Tomorrow negotiations resume and to show student discontent at how we were treated through this procedure the Student Solidarity Group is having a quiet sit-in outside the administration offices. No signs or fliers this time, this is a neutral sit-in at a symbolic place of power of an institution that has treated us poorly in the past two weeks.
If you are discontent about how both sides have been unresponsive - come by and sit around and study on the second floor of the Peters' Building outside the administration offices* between 10:00 and 4:00 on Thursday.
* We'd call for a sit-in outside of the CAS Strike Office in accordance to having this a neutral event, but it's private property and we'd get in trouble for loitering. If you have other places you can do sit-ins without getting in trouble, feel free to do so.
We need lots of students visibly, peacefully protesting on that day!
About Me
- Student Solidarity Group WLU
- This is the voice of the students of Wilfrid Laurier University that are supportive to the CAS (Contract Academic Staff) endeavour to be recognized for the work they contribute to our learning atmosphere. This blog is an attempt to stretch our voice beyond our Facebook groups and the rapidly growing number of signatories of our petition and encompass the larger Laurier community on both the Waterloo and Brantford campuses. Such a violation to the basic human pursuit of livelihood that has transpired at Laurier should not be ignored. Such an imminent danger of a part-time faculty strike should not be overlooked. The students of Laurier as well as their friends and family and concerned, labour-friendly individuals from around the world should not lay silent on this issue that is so fundamental both for their livelihood, the livelihood of others, and the livelihood of the idea of what it is to be an academic. We are here to inform as well as to organize. For more information, visit the WLUFA website at www.wlufa.ca. Part-timers deserve our support for all that they impart on us.
