as am I actually. This probably should have been done sooner and classes could have resumed much earlier, but there are TWO sides in this dispute. Blaming it all on the union just an easy way for people who don't understand what it's like to work in that environment, or haven't had a real job yet. Why was the university so against arbitration? Maybe because arbitrators generally come down on the side of LABOUR when the numbers are crunched.
I have a feeling that the university will have to make some concessions, but that's what BARGAINING is about, after all. |
isn't the arbitrator usually someone who is partial to the matter and agreed upon by both parties, at least in the case of non-legislation? I for one don't blame it (all) necessarily on the union either since I felt the school needed to take on more responsibility in at least providing the affected students some tuition relief. The fact that the students will return to class without any compensation whatsoever from the school is what bothers me most. It seems that there's just very little accountability here on anyone's part.
i actually find comments like "Blaming it all on the union just an easy way for people who don't understand what it's like to work in that environment, or haven't had a real job yet." quite offensive since I doubt you even know what most of us do for a living. you're entitled to your views just as much as everyone else is here, but there's no need for comments like that.
