it is beyond ridiculous
sucks that the students cannot even seek any sort of compensation - no law firm has yet to take on the class action suit the students are trying to file.. they cannot sue CUPE, and York either - York is technically NOT refusing to provide the service (education), it is just delaying it

Well that's just great. Ugh.

sounds like the NDP is going to delay passing of the Bill until at least Wednesday .. which means classes won't start until at least Thursday at the earliest..

My sis started her first year of Uni at York this year... what a way to start eh

BTW People are going to hate on the NDP so much, whether or not their reasoning is fair. What was the main issue they had? That the bartering must be finished as it started or are they worried the Union won’t get what they want?

you obviously do not understand politics.

The NDP are doing exactly what is expected of them; to advocate rights of unions to protest and go on strike, back-to-work legislation violates this fundamental right.

There are two parties at this table, not just the union--maybe you guys are forgetting York's shitty administration.

I agree, I honestly think its york who has the ball..

Going back right now is riduculous.
They fucked up an entire year of my life.
I want my money back in full. End of story.





I knew I should have gone to U of Ottawa...

Fucking NDP

This whole thing makes me so angry, and I have nothing to do with York, or being a university student even.

Unions are nothing more than excuse to hold innocent people hostage.

i've stated before, the market should determine the wages of workers, not unions. no one is forcing them to work there.

despite a record breaking year for university and college enrollment, the aftershocks of the strike at York are already apparent..

quote:

The drop in applications in the faculty of arts and professional studies – the largest in Canada – will mean York will be forced to offer fewer courses, said vice-president Rob Tiffin in a bulletin on the university's website. This cutback will be felt by the very workers who went on strike, noted Innes. "What the strike has done is diminish enrolment, which in turn will mean we offer fewer courses, which in turn means there will be fewer part-time jobs for the very people who went on strike," said Innes. "I can't imagine anything more self-destructive."
