They don't get paid alot....and some of them have a baby and mortgages to take care of.
Think of teachers who's spouse is on maternity leave, or who both the husband and wife work as teachers.....think they're enjoying this? |

I'm not sure if I caught this.
Is this a legal or an illegal strike? |

WRONG... My teacher told me before the strike they are getting paid $500 a week.
They also only have enough money to support this for 2 weeks. |

by union regulations teachers are required to walk the line for 20 hours a week for the wonderful pay of $200 a week. As well they must continue to make full payments to their pension fund or they take the risk of becoming ineligable.
My father is one of the teachers on strike. Tomorrow he is going to Queen's park to participate in a rally to get the government to legislate them back to work. Believe it or not, some of them just don't care and want to be back teaching instead of picketing. |

A message to students from Anne Sado,

Re: Semester Completion Strategy

Dear Philip,
I know you are concerned about the impact of the faculty strike on your education. We are, too. That's why we're developing Semester Completion Plans to ensure that you can meet your essential program requirements, regardless of the length of the strike.
Each student's situation is different. The plan for your program will depend on your circumstances, programs of study and the length of the strike. In most cases, graduating students will be able to complete their course requirements within two weeks following the end of the strike. For other students, we'll make adjustments to the balance of your program so that you won't be disadvantaged.
The plans we are making are based on two principles: Academic Integrity and Fairness to Students. To ensure academic integrity over a compressed classroom timeframe, student success will be measured by your ability to demonstrate achievement of outcomes rather than by measuring the quantity of material covered. Reasonable accommodations will be made to access material that would have otherwise been covered in class including deadline extensions, remediation and alternative procedures for evaluation.
Of course, you are still responsible for your own learning. That means continuing to study and complete assignments during the strike and making sure you can demonstrate that you can meet the essential outcomes of your course as described in your course outline. We will work with you to ensure you are ready for work or your next semester at college.
Members of our academic team will be contacting you shortly but we encourage you to visit the website at www.georgebrown.ca, WebCT and/or telephone your department managers using the listed phone numbers on the Faculty Labour Negotiations section of the web. We are open and available to support you.
It is possible that the strike will impact the timing of the end of your semester. In that event, faculty members and chairs will develop individual solutions for students who have prior commitments related to work, travel or other extenuating circumstances. Should this extension to the semester be required, you will be notified by the end of the month.
We continue to urge OPSEU (the union that represents college faculty) to return to the bargaining table and we remain optimistic that we can settle this dispute. Our commitment is to you and helping you achieve your success.
Sincerely,
Anne Sado, President
