Strike!

Post by wcp »

Hello all!

its been a while since i have had the time to post anything relevant, but i have a real post now...yes i said it a REAL one, i bet no one ever thought that would happen eh?

o.k so i'm at my school (The University Of Windsor) and our campus police have just gone on strike, for about a week now. they are striking for higher pay and such, the usual.
The problem is that today (friday) i come to school and what do i see? the strikers have barracaded all of the teachers/staff parking on campus, allowing no one in. Now the teachers, staff, and campus police are all on the same union, so many of the teachers support the strikers however i am part of no union.
My parking has not been prohibited yet (student parking) but i wonder how long it will take before it does. and if that happens what do i do?

i support the strikers right to strike, hey they want more money go for it. But i myself have paid 150$ just to be able to park in these parking lots for the year, also if i cannot park, i cannot go to school and right now is the last 2 weeks before exams. this is a very bad time considering all my assignments are due and we have exam coverage, which is very important. So what do you guys think? i have paid over 2500 dollars this semester to go to school on top of the 150$ to be able to park in designated areas, on top of that i have exams and assignments due all next week. what would you guys do?

thanks, Craig

geez, that sucks. i have no clue what to do if i were you, but is there some kind of higher authority you can go to??

dude, i'm sorry this is screwing up all you've paid for. i think that's a point you could make if you found somebody to talk to who might be able to do something about it.

you should find out if you miss any work or not being able to get parked if you'll get compensation
