the absurd teachers strike
It should come as no real surprise to anyone by now that the majority of victims to this teachers strike are students, whether or not it’s the teachers or the government to blame. I would wager that things will become resolute but a number of consequences are considerable.
The suspension of classes affect more than 150,000 college students, who are growing increasingly worried about how this may impact their graduation plans, apartment leases, summer employment opportunities, and the list goes on and on. The teachers insist they're fighting for the future of community college education. Their union is demanding smaller class sizes, reduced faculty workload, and a number of other things.
As I've followed through, there's a media blackout in effect while talks continue at Toronto's Royal York Hotel on this 15th day strike of 24 Ontario community colleges. If you’re at all interested in finding up to the minute and dedicated blog cast of news articles following said event, please visit Ontario Teachers Strike Info. I'm also open to sharing other resources and listening.
I have a few fellow friends who are sadly at the other end of the string as this strike continues. If you are a student, I implore you to discuss or write a letter to your teachers and the OPSEU (Ottawa Public Service Employees Union) regarding the damages of this teachers strike (opseu@opseu.org) not only that but I encourage that you take things from different perspectives and to also visit collegestrike.ca where there is a link to have your expressed opinion directed towards the government.
