Our labour is essential. Concordia works because we do. So why aren’t we receiving the pay we deserve? Why are we being paid so much less than other TAs?
Since 2020, the cost of rent and other basic expenses in Montreal has skyrocketed with nearly 20% inflation. Meanwhile, TA and RA wages have increased a measly 5% in the same period. Concordia has major catching up to do to provide us a real raise—one that also makes up for years of inflation while being overworked and underpaid.
We, the undersigned, demand a competitive and livable wage for student workers. We are committed to the Fight for $45/h and will do whatever it takes to win!
