Why did TSSU vote to go on Strike?
SFU wants to cut up our collective agreement, asking us to take concessions that would remove seniority, priority, and promotion rights of the teaching staff that manage the bulk of instruction at the University. With inflation at record highs, the most precarious teaching staff at SFU need a contract that pays a living wage and continues to adjust to the increasing costs of living.
