The Cape Breton University Faculty Association says it’s getting support on the picket line today from university faculty from across Canada.

The association says it’s welcoming union representatives from Calgary, Lethbridge, Concordia University in Edmonton, Wilfrid Laurier, and the University of Manitoba.

Representatives from Dalhousie, St. F. X., UPEI, Université Sainte Anne, and Université de Moncton are also expected to join the strikers.

The Faculty Association says donations of money will be presented to it at 11:30 this morning, including a million dollar line of credit from the Canadian Association of University Teachers.

The more than 200 members of the Faculty Association have been on strike for a week with wages and respect from Administration being the main outstanding issues.
