What about the York university strike last year? The teachers assistants walked out and all classes were cancelled.

All classes.

Cancelled.

For students who are paying 5000$+ for their tuition.

So what happens now? These students that didn't have an accelerated curriculum now must school during the summer months to make up their credits, and in turn have no time to work those oh so necessary summer jobs to get a financial foothold, and will be even more screwed once they're done Uni with higher student loans (because they have to take a summer loan as well) and less money banked.

And the TAs are planning to strike again next year.

Funnily enough, the 50% needed to have a strike didn't even get voted, but all the workers that voted to strike walked out anyway, and there werent enough left to cover their positions.
