Hi all,

On behalf of Cam Morrill, UMFA President, I am pleased to announce that the
University of Manitoba Faculty Association has sent a donation of $2500 to
the Brandon University Faculty Association in support of their job action.

We are particularly concerned about  the President of Brandon University
contacting members of faculty about returning to their classrooms while BUFA
is on strike and telling students that they are responsible for keeping up
with assignments in such cases.  Students should not be discriminated
against on the basis of their political beliefs.

In Solidarity,
UMFA

UMFA has sent another $2500  in support of our BUFA colleagues and their
fight for fair compensation and reasonable working conditions.  We applaud
your strength and support your collective efforts to get the university
administration to negotiate a new collective  agreement.

In Solidarity,
Cam Morrill
President
