SCHOOL OF ART | SCULPTURE

It’s hard to believe I’ve been working for UArts for five years and have never received a cost of living increase. This means I’m earning less now than when I started! I’ve worked at peer institutions that are unionized, and this would not have been tolerated. We need to unionize now and let our administration know this is not a sustainable way to pay its employees. Faculty deserve yearly cost of living increases, not yearly wage reductions!
