Jacques Lacan: The Desire of the Other | July BISR Online Courses | buff.ly/3Ueu7oy
This is an excellent overview by @DTCochrane for @CDN_Dimension of 🇨🇦"s #Budget2024, putting valuable context around the debate on capital gains. Thanks Troy! canadiandimension.com/articles/view/…

The first part of our debate on Marxism, eco-modernism and degrowth with @KaiHeron and @Matthuber78 is now up! Here, we begin to discuss the social and strategic bases beneath the critical impasse between eco-modernism and degrowth. Listen: patreon.com/posts/10227775…
This is heartbreaking news. I've known, loved, and admired Jane McAlevey <@rsgexp> for 25 years. Fabulous organizer, thinker, and friend. She doesn't have much time left on this earth, and earth will be much poorer without her. janemcalevey.com/writing/latest…
Crikey, these wages are prehistoric! @agotoronto workers haven't had more than a 1% annual raise since 2020. While management received 10-59% in annual pay bumps, workers struggled w/ fossilized wages under the unconstitutional Bill 124. ➡️Take action at NoDealNoAGO.ca
York U’s refusal to bargain is hurting both students and workers. Students deserve a high quality education, and that's what we're fighting for. @YorkUniversity come back to the table and negotiate a fair contract, so we can get back to the classroom! toronto.citynews.ca/2024/04/03/yor…
Here’s an English language version of my article Forget Eco-Modernism. I argue eco-modernism’s denial of value transfers, vulgarized interpretation of Marx, and ecological illiteracy converge in support of a reactionary form of class politics. versobooks.com/en-gb/blogs/ne…
“It's clear our lack of wages is not due to a lack of spending and funds. Our lack of wages and our poverty is a choice” @YorkUniversity @TorontoStar @CUPEOntario thestar.com/news/gta/overw…
New survey by the @broadbent Institute finds overwhelming public support for large-scale investment in non-market housing. 80% of people polled in Toronto & Vancouver metro areas want to see the Federal government build more non-market housing. assets.nationbuilder.com/broadbent/page…

Meet the workers on the picket line! We love what we do, and we want a higher quality learning experience at York University! We're fighting for wages, job security and work-place protections because our working conditions are your learning conditions! #WeAreYork
Online or on the line, please don’t cross our picket lines! Moving courses online IS still crossing the picket line.
The Journal of Law and Social Policy & the York Global Labour Research Centre are hosting: Within and Against Legal Precarity: Situated Narratives from the GTA a TEACH-IN on the Picket Line (Main Gate) in solidarity w @cupe3903comms @YUFAyorku @OzHallLawUnion March 6 (10-3pm)
Toronto Police arrested a @cupe3903comms member this morning for setting up an established picket line at York University. We are calling on all members and allies to join an immediate vigil until this worker is released! Join us at the vigil at 40 Norfinch Drive, North York…
🚨ALL OUT TO DIVISION 31 🚨 Come support at 40 Norfinch Dr, North York where a comrade from CUPE 3903 is being detained. Arrest made at the picket line with no charges announced. Picketing is a constitutionally entrenched right. Call 31 division to demand their release!
Of course, 'we do not confront the world in a doctrinaire way...We do not say to the world: Cease your struggles, they are foolish...We merely show the world what it is really fighting for, and consciousness is something that it has to acquire, even if it does not want to'(Marx).

‼️🚫 York University refuses to address the affordability crisis caused by rising housing and food prices at the same time that wages on campus have stagnated. More and more, academic staff are living further from campus and being forced to work other jobs to make ends meet.…

Renowned labor organizer Jane McAlevey (@rsgexp) says the UAW's success in unionizing a Volkswagen plant in Tennessee was "a beatdown" of management. A bigger test, she says, will be whether workers can do the same at Mercedes in Alabama.
Good for her. This ban is insane, discriminatory, and it needs to be repealed immediately.

Sharing this again 😥
Her work is so impt to me (just ctrl f’d and her name appears 34 times in my book). Over the last decade, I don’t think anyone else has been more influential in (crucially) pushing the left to think seriously about strategy and power (and the centrality of unions to both).
What’s next on Big Oil’s to-do list? Crush the cap, while wildfires rage. Big Oil would rather pocket profits and spout climate lip-service than actually reign in their astronomical pollution😤 Tell your MP, we need a strong #EmissionsCap now.
Need more evidence that the fossil fuel industry is calling the shots in Ottawa? @cafreeland was considering a windfall tax on oil & gas profits (you know, since those profits are what's actually driving inflation) But she dropped it when fossil fuel lobbyists complained....
We got a deal! York was petty to the very end tho 🙄
We are hours away from a deal! 🎉 CUPE 3903 got it done ✊🏽 A lot of mistakes and lessons to take from this round, but we showed what can be achieved when we come together and strike to win.
A very special thank you to our research site partners at Centennial College who have engaged in this work so openly and generously. Looking forward to sharing at #CHI2024! (3/3)
We find that adoption of #AI and #Algorithms is driven by a push for financial sustainability and ultimately redistributes institutional power away from students/faculty, leading to increased surveillance, inequity, and automation of key faculty-student relationships. (2/3)
