School Flist-Give me your eyes(sorry Battlestar moment) We might be in trouble. Not just the people getting OSAP, which might be impossible or just really hard due to the strike, but the people who do classroom reservations and what not are all on strike. Classes might not happen.
Last year it was a bus strike (almost) keeping us from class, now its the schools support staff. I'm not sure how much faith I put into CHCH news, but apparently the support staff are making $18-41/h. and rejecting the 3% interest per year for 2 years. I can't really sympathize-I make half to a quarter of that, and my pay increases are mandated by the minimum wage laws. Much like the bus drivers, people are developing a self deserving attitude, and thinking they are entitled to more, because other people have more and not because they have earned it.
So, yeah, education is being held hostage.
Also in angry news- there is a class action suit against Maple Leaf Foods by people who believe they might have eaten food that was recalled. Keep in mind the recall was done voluntarily by Maple Leaf at the first sign of trouble, and none of the people who are suing are sick, just greedy easily scared.
Why is my country becoming so Americanized litigious?
school,
hate,
activism
