For the first blog/post for 2014, I thought I would keep it simple. What I will be discussing are the university strikes that have come as of late. Mount Allison University's 154 full-time and 56 part-time staff members have recently hit the picket lines just this Monday morning after negotiations with the school on the new contract have failed. On a side note, UNB is now in its third week of their strike.
Now, most people are not sure on all the information on the Mount A strike so far (since it did just happen today) but this getting nice and a little out of hand, I would like to think. Especially some of the parts of the UNB strike. I may not have all of the first hand knowledge of the situation but I do not think I am far off when I say that a 20% salary increase may be a bit of an overkill. No, you may not be getting paid as much as those in lower ranking universities but they also do live in an area where the cost of living is higher (which would explain a higher salary). Anyone else notice that simple logic? No? All right.
