MANIFESTATION COMMUNE : PROFS ET �TUDIANTS ET �TUDIANTES C�TE � C�TE!
DATE : Jeudi le 8 septembre 2005
HEURE : 11h00
LIEU : Marches de la Place des Arts (m�tro Place des Arts, sortie rue
Sainte-Catherine)
Il semble que le gouvernement veut r�p�ter le sc�nario de la derni�re
session d'hiver! En effet, celui-ci s'ent�te une fois de plus �
appliquer la ligne dure contre un large mouvement populaire soutenu
par la population en g�n�ral.
La strat�gie du gouvernement est claire : diviser pour dominer. Pour
faire �chec � cette strat�gie, nous devons d�montrer notre solidarit�
avec les enseignants et les enseignantes ainsi qu'avec les autres
employ�-e-s de la fonction publique qui luttent pour la justice
sociale.
Le gouvernement veut provoquer un nouvel affrontement contre les
forces progressistes de la soci�t� : unissons-nous et luttons c�te �
c�te!
DANS CET AFFRONTEMENT CONTRE LE GOUVERNEMENT, SOYONS ARM�-E-S DE
SOLIDARIT�!

JOINT PROTEST : TEACHERS AND STUDENTS SIDE BY SIDE!
DATE : Thursday, september 8, 2005
TIME : 11h00
PLACE : Place des Arts stairs (metro Place des Arts, Ste-Catherine
street exit)
It seems that the gouvernement is seeking a repeat of last winter's
scenario. Indeed, it is stubbornly applying the hard line against a
massive popular movement that is supported by the general population.
The government's strategy is clear : divide in order to dominate. If
we hope to break this strategy, we must demonstrate our solidarity
with teachers and other public service employees who are strggling
for social justice.
The government wants to provoke a new confrontation against the
progressive forces of society : let's unite and fight side by side!
IN THIS CONFRONTATION AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT, LET'S ARM OURSELVES OF
SOLIDARITY!

Salut!
Voici une offre d'emploi pour la Dawson Student Union (DSU), une association
naissante qui se fait mettre des b�tons dans les roues � tour de bras par
une administration r�calcitrante. Il est clair que l'apport d'une personne
vers�e dans le syndicalisme �tudiant de combat serait un atout pour cette
jeune association, particuli�rement de gens au courant ou m�me ayant v�cu la
situation presque identique de Saint-J�r�me il y a un peu plus d'un an. Le
message original mentionne que la date butoir �tait dimanche dernier mais
comme l'ex�cutif de DSU ne s'est pas encore rencontr�, il semble qu'il ne
soit pas trop tard pour faire parvenir son CV. Toutefois, chaque seconde
compte alors faites vite!

Hello,
My name is Melanie Hotchkiss and I am the President of
the Dawson Student Union. As some of you may know,
we've been in an ongoing court/political fight with
the administration of Dawson College in an attempt to
force them to return over $285,000 in student money
which they have illegally frozen.
We are currently hiring a full time employee for the
position of Office Coordinator/Director of Campaigns
and our primary means of advertising this position is
through the student movement so please, take a moment
and send this job posting on to any and all lists or
individuals who you think might be interested.
If you are interested in the position please act
quickly, the deadline is this Sunday.
All the information can be found in the attached job
description but in case the attachment is missing you
can get in touch with me for more information.
My cell is (514) 812-7488 and our e-mail is
dawsondemocracy(a)gmail.com
Thank you so much for your help in advertising this
position.
In solidarity,
Melanie

>There are many ways that graduate students contribute to education and

>sphere. Graduate students played a part in the watershed 2005 Quebec
>general unlimited student strike. Graduate students are taking part in
>popular projects like Engineers Without Borders. They were involved in the
>academic and extra-curricular activism that led to the creation of the
>Women�s Studies field and graduate students continue to have a profound
>influence on the evolution of this rapidly growing domain of study. The
>academy itself is going through profound change, especially in graduate
>studies. There are new diploma programs, more and more private business
>programs, there is a greater emphasis on the creation of intellectual
>property, and the list goes on. These recent developments have created
>concerns among graduate students, especially among graduate students
>involved in costly but potentially very lucrative research projects. What
>is the relation of graduate students to the intellectual property they
>produce? What is their relation to the professors and/or corporations they
>do research for? These concerns dovetail with more longstanding graduate
>student issues of campus research and education work and the question of
>unionization. How are graduate student contributions to education and
>research (as TAs, RAs and marker-graders) recognized, remunerated and
>respected at union versus non-union Canadian universities? This is a
>conference that will bring graduate students from Concordia together with
>leaders and researchers from other Canadian universities to take a fresh
>look at these questions with the collegial debate and the spirit of
>inquiry that grads are known for.
