Investment and return

Every $1 invested leads to $1.50 in economic activity
This little factlet is based on information from the University of Manitoba Economic Impact Analysis (2019). Tuition and fees continue to climb. Full-time faculty, instructors, and librarians' salaries are being artificially frozen. So who is making this investment, and who is benefitting from the economic activity. Not UMFA members, and not students. So who?

Just a quick note: Tomorrow there will be no strike activities, owing to the Remembrance Day holiday.  Please take a couple of minutes at 11:11am to reflect on the sacrifices which have been and continue to be made by servicepeople and their families.

I am glad that UMFA decided to honour Remembrance Day by pausing strike activities. We also have not been expected to picket on weekends. Conversely, several times now, Admin has chosen Friday evening as the time to send some confusing, demoralizing and misleading message to the entire University community. If the intention is _not_ to ruin the weekends of striking UMFA members and take advantage of the fact that we probably won't respond immediately, then I don't know what it is.
