UPDATE ON COLLEGE STRIKE


So the results are in the votes have been casted. Yesterday 57% of college profs at all colleges in Ontario voted YES in favour of a strike. My school Centennial voted 70% in favour of striking if an agreement can not be reached by Feb 15th according to the union's website. I sincerely hope they can reach an agreement before a strike occurs . As some have been saying though, if its taken them 5 months already and no agreement has been made what difference will a month make? I for one sincerely hope an agreement can be reached ,it is not worth it or fair to the students who are paying for an education to be interrupted in the midst of what is already a busy semester for many. The public ,media and communities need to pressure them to come to an agreement . Contact your MPPs MP's and get them to get involved in this. This is unacceptable !
