The Faculty Association has been active in supporting our sister associations that have had to go on strike. This solidarity has included donations to striking faculty associations, as well as participation in pickets at the striking institution. Flying pickets are organized by the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) Defence Fund. The CAUT Defence Fund operates a large strike fund that members such as the Faculty Association of the University of Calgary contribute to and can access during a strike.

Dora Tam (Vice President and Treasurer) and David Stewart (Past President) recently joined the picket line at Mount Saint Vincent University on February 16.
