My first day back to the University of Windsor and they just had a strike vote that was positive for 90%
I don't get how I can pay $3000 a semester to be taught and the teachers strike and I don't get a refund even though I will miss months of schooling.
Personally I don't think that it's ethical to charge students, go on stroke and not refund them for the time that will be missed due to management and union negotiation problems. We should be refunded an amount of money that is equivalent to the amount of weeks we will be missing. They should not be able to strike when peoples careers and funds are at stake because this will put me back another year if I can't complete the courses that I paid for and I don't have the money to pay for more schooling. So my life is put back and I some how have to find the funds to pay for school again. Is this fair?
The reason they went on strike is because the teachers that will be retiring in the next 5 years will get the pension that was laid out for them and all the teachers that will retire after them will have a 3% decrease in their pension. Which makes sense since the economy is not the best right now and that their pension funds are poorly managed.
Just wondering what you all think about this? an example would be the service provider for Darkly promises us 6 months of service, we pay them and then they strike and shut down the service without giving us a refund.
Plain and simple, those bastards.
Thought comments?!
