With the Writer's Guild of America strike, the stage hand's strike on Broadway, and the massive transit strike in Paris, France taking up all the news headlines, it got me thinking about who else is currently on strike right now. I decided to find out in a new segment I'm calling:
WHO'S ON STRIKE NOW
CUPE support works at the University of Saskatchewan. That's right. Saskatchewan has a university.
The workers have been on strike for 18 days and today, more than 100 students (of what is presumably a 100 student population) protested against the strike and the disruption to their learning. For those of you keeping score at home, the students went on strike and the on strike support workers. Classes are still running as normal so I don't know what the fuss is about. Loreena Frederick, a vet med student, told the crowd the the Veterinary Medical Hospital is now closed and is no longer taking in sick animals. The closure of the hospital has been called "collateral damage." OH won't somebody think of the animals!
