This was released today
| quote: | LETTERS TO STUDENTS
In order to help you better understand the issues that are faced by the colleges and the faculty, we have asked both sides to write a letter briefly explaining their positions. We would encourage you to read both letters. If you have more questions or concerns we would encourage you to visit the College Compensation and Appointments Council (the council) and the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU)'s Web sites. Direct links to both sites can be found by clicking the Get Involved & For More Info link on this website. |
Here is the link to the letter:

Well I am a Canadian citizen, it's just there are alot of complications in terms of me working. I live in rexdale for one and it's highly advised we don't walk around alone at night, which I would have to do if I work and what not. I can't work on campus because you have to live in Ontario for a year.
Plus I make 25 dollars an hour at my job back home doing something I really enjoy, why would I want to work for 9 dollars an hour here? |
