Solidarity with York and UofT workers

Demand a quality education for all!

Why: Better public funding for an accessible education and good working conditions in universities

Where: Dundas Square (TTC: Dundas)

When: Saturday, March 21 at 1:00 p.m. (march will begin at 1:30 p.m.)

All undergraduates and Toronto residents are invited to march in solidarity with teaching assistants (TAs), Course Instructors (CIs) and graduate assistants (GAs) from York University and the University of Toronto.

TAs, CIs and GAs are not only workers, but also graduate students. There are several demands being made by unions in both universities, and they all come down to providing an equitable, accessible and affordable learning and working experience.

This solidarity rally aims to defend the accessibility of graduate studies, but also to demand better public funding of universities for all students. This means that tuition fees should also be lower for all students, including for undergraduates.

This rally is endorsed by :
