CUPE Local 3903 Strike Vote
Teaching assistants and contract instructors at York University have voted 86 per cent in favour of giving their union a strike mandate.
The instructors say they are being asked to teach more than double the amount of classes as regular professors, and that they don't know which classes they will teach each semester until one month before the school starts. They are asking for better job security.
The teaching assistants, graduate students who help professors with marking and sometimes teach classes, are asking for better pay.
The strike mandate doesn't mean instructors and teaching assistants will necessarily go on strike, but it gives the union the ability to walk off the job with 72 hours' notice if they are unable to negotiate a better deal with the school.

I'd post my pic but I'd get hated on
re: strike
holy FUCK!
we had too many strikes like this already... and then they never reimburse students and we're expected to know the material we don't get taught

they updated the Y-File this morning but no agreement has been reached
they called for Binding Arbitration again but I think it will just be knocked down again
This is fucking bullshit
I go to York's French campus (Glendon) where close to none of the action is going on and we are going to be shut down too
I'm in an accelerated program and my sched is SO tight as it is.
If this school year spills over into May and fucks with my internship I'm going to firebomb something
There should be a final answer tomorrow

Might be selfish, but I wouldn't mind a week to do a bit of catchup right now. That said, chances are if they go on strike it'll be for a while which wouldn't be too pretty as it means things start getting delayed.
I really hope they'll have a response by tomorrow, either way.
