Hell yeah, Because you know if this lasts longer than the semester, they will not re-imburse the students for the monies that have been already paid. Teachers, ust like police, and other emergency people should not be allowed to strike.

I agree 100%

And as for crossing the picket lines i went to my school yesterday around noon. No picketers. I don't know if its every college but at Mohawk they're only picketing between 8-10 and 3:30-5:30. Can you get any lazier? Like really unless you're gonna picket the whole day what's the point.

Unfortunately in college there are not TA's Darkpuppet. But i think it would be a great idea. Personally if you wanna do less work, take the proposed 12% pay increase and put that towards shrinking the class sizes. I feel no sympathy for the teachers, not in this strike, prolly not ever. Show me any other profession where you get 2 months off in the summer(high school, grade school) or 4 months in the case of college teachers, then you get every major holiday off, 2 weeks at christmas. I wish i could find a career like that. And really the average college teachers is in the classroom an average of 15-16 hrs a week? But yet the still make a full time wage. Again show me a job where i only have to work less 50% of the time and I still make full time money. Teachers have it great, if they didn't people wouldn't leave the private sector to become teachers.
