April 4th marked 871 days of the SFU Administration's delays to getting a first collective agreement for research assistants and grant employees. We couldn't wait any longer to held our RA rally on Burnaby Campus. We all made a lot of noise and more than 70 TSSU members (TAs, TMs, RAs) and allies showed up in support to march from Convocation Mall to the Senate Meeting room to demand SFU President/Administration a first contract for ALL RAs (photos below).
Research is Work campaign started 2019 and will only end when SFU provide RAs with a Collective Agreement.
We will keep saying "no contract, no joy!" until we get our demands included!
Thank you all for joining and to show our presence and raise our voices at the Research is Work rally. It was a blast to tell SFU that ALL RAs deserve a just and fair contract now!
