So, it seems most students are pretty split on the whole strike thing.

For me, I wouldn't mind if they did, most if not all of my work I do at home anyways, and I have my assignments already. So basically if they do go on strike it means I can sleep in, do homework during the day, and party at night. Sounds like a good deal to me

*edit* I'm done school for the day, so now I'm just waiting to hear if I can sleep 2moro :-P

True, and I do see it your way, but i still would rather be in school. I feel lost when im not there, like right now i am sick, and Im not going. ( i only have 1 class so im not worried) but over all, I dont want it. Grrr

i have been to the newnham campus, don mills campus, king campus and they all suck. s@y is, by far, the best seneca campus.

I'm taking a class at GB and my teacher said he would be teaching regardless of the outcome. then again, I don't think there will be many picketers on a saturday.

lol +1 to that

i wouldn't mind as long as it's a week at the most. anything over that and i'll end up dying of boredom (either way i support the profs 100%. we _do_ need more full-timers)


Posted by samhouse on Mar-06-2006 20:00:

all this will affect my BEB wknd at the ened of the semester.

I'm hoping for one too, gives me extra time to work on my philosophy paper

S@Y here too I have mixed feelings about the whole thing...but since I haven't finished some assignments a break would be nice...as long as they just extend the semester and NOT cancel it. 1 or 2 weeks wouldn't hurt.

No no no I dont want it to happen @ all. I mean I see why you would, to have extra days off, but all my works needs to be done in school. And because the school year is already planned out, we would still need to hand the work in as usual. This is crap

LOL, i've been running the same strategy too all day..

So they arent happy with a nearly 13% wage hike over 4 years eh?

And people wonder why I think unions should be abolished?

On average your profs would be making 8000-18000 more per year after ONLY 4 years!! Who else on the planet gets that kind of wage? AND IT'S STILL NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!?!?!?!?

So listen, next time tuition goes up don't blame the government. Thank your ever so greedy profs who are probably the same ones that critisize the government for not enough education spending. If they cared so much they would settle for the same workload with a raise equalling that of inflation. (most people arent even lucky enough to get that much!)
