Jesse Greener Strike Quotations

We're shocked that there's so much funding from unexpected revenue sources and at this point the government is allowing tuition fees to be increase and the college strike to persist.

Furthermore, like any legislation, before becoming law back-to-work legislation must go through three readings in the Ontario Legislative Assembly, not to mention possible committee hearings. Given that Thursday is Budget Day this option can only prolong the strike and keep students out of their classes unnecessarily.

Voluntary binding arbitration, if accepted, would end the strike immediately. Both parties would agree on an arbitrator who would, after a serious evaluation of the positions of both parties, provide an informed resolution to the dispute that has kept students out of their classes since March 7 . This process would be trusted by both faculty and management and would bring the best results for all parties.

We see the strike and the tuition fee increase as two sides of the same coin. There aren't enough resources in the system to prevent these problems.
