For your convenience, here is a letter model.

We would like to express our support for our fellow chargées et chargés de cours at University of Quebec at Chicoutimi. Their contribution to university's goals and objectives calls for and improvement in their salararies and working conditions. As elsewhere in North America, they are fundamental part of higher education.

It will be great if messages could be sent before Thursday's press conference. Please, send a copy to Richard Perreault, President of the part-timers' union at Chicoutimi. Your message will show that the union is not alone, but is a part of a continent-wide movement.
