Firstly, I work on a rotating 2 week on 2 week off schedule. I don't need to go out and get a job. I was only suggesting that they go out and get a job because this is more than likely ruining their school year.
From my understanding, the government and the union have been in negotiatiiations since November. How long did you want them to negotiate for before striking?
It is very unfortunate that the students have to pay for the actions of both the government and the union, but compromise has to be the order of the day. On both sides.
And it seems that the government is really negotiating in bad faith according to the morning newspapers. The proposal they put on the table in November and was declined then with an 80% strike vote and was approaching a settlement has now been altered by the government.
I am not in favour of a strike, nor do I appreciate what the union AND government have failed to come to terms on an agreement. There is always 2 sides to every angle and I see the Liberals at fault here.

TEAM PITA Don't settle for a wannabe, only accept the real deal.
One day I will rule the world. For now, I have to settle for this place.
