Fair Employment Now

It's time to end precarious academic work

Across Canada, contract academic staff (CAS) teach a significant proportion of post-secondary courses yet face low pay, job insecurity, limited benefits, and exclusion from institutional governance.

Chronic underfunding and the casualization of academic work threaten both academic workers and the quality of post-secondary education.

Fair Employment Now! is a national campaign led by the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) to secure fair, stable and equitable working conditions for CAS. It connects the working conditions of CAS to broader advocacy for fairness and quality education.
