RPIRG Statement on bargaining between URFA and the University of Regina

Linking rising tuition directly to equitable wages and working conditions is only possible if we believe that austerity budgets and funding cuts are the only solution to our debt. It is a scare tactic created to silence those who are already targeted by public funding cuts. Austerity approaches have existed for decades and there are huge and growing bodies of evidence and movements denouncing and discrediting them. To the austerity cheerleaders out there, we have one clear solution: TAX THE RICH Y’ALL!
