So the strike is over, after 3 long months and my 2 cents on the matter it was a silly strike. York has one of the highest paid TA, in the province and possibly in the country yet they were demanding more. Then again, just about everything has gone up pricewise. The Uni wouldn't budge...and who gets screwed in the process...us the students...the very pple who pay large sums of $$ and sacrifice a lot to get a fundamental service.
Anyway I was at Uni today to get a few books...and I ran into a reporter from a local paper. Didn't give her my name but we had a good interview.She asked questions and I gave her my 2 cents. Anyway Monday we go to skool , and its a bittersweet moment..the students get to continue with their education, while nothing has been resolved with staff...basically they have been forced to head back. You'd wonder why the government waited 3 mnths to force the strikers back to work , and also u ask yourself if this back to work legislation solves the issue.
Anyway, I know that the days ahead will not be easy...there is a lot to be covered and I will be scarce on the blogosphere and facebook. I will pop in from time to time to give my 2bhobho on various issues.
