Cross-border solidarity
In a letter signed by Larry Gold, Director of AFT Higher Education, the American Federation of Teachers (AFL-CIO) give his support to the AGSEM Strike. AFT represents 1,4 millions mermbers, including 165,000 higher education faculty and professionnel staff. Also, we can find a post on the AFT website, asking support to AGSEM strike. Craig Smith suggests to send an email to the Principals of the McGill University : How about sending a message up to the administration at McGill ? Let them know that we believe that the AGSEM’s demands are reasonable, that McGill’s tactics are not only illegal but they run counter to the collegiality upon which the academy is based, and that we believe McGill should negotiate in good faith rather than creating a culture of fear among its employees.
