Falling Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 oh ffs, rank and file said they can't bring this to a vote because it doesn't meet the U3 redline Infuriating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaronjw Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 know what chaps my ass? When people think a graduate degree = simply graduating from something (high school, college, undergrad) ou would not believe the number of people I encounter who have actually said they had a graduate degree.... from high school!

aaronjw Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 they sure got that up fast. fastest ever bargaining update by York. Tells me they are desperate to win the PR battle right now by putting forward something which looks good in order to stoke the ire of undergrads and union member dissenters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falling Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 I don't think it will be taken to a vote. The 7k international tuition increase is not York's fault. Cupe should have included stronger language when they originally fought for indexation. Not York's fault that Cupe's lawyers suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronjw Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 definitely don't see it getting to a vote given it doesn't meet the red-lines of the motion passed last week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falling Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Apparently the only redline for a vote is indexation. It was corrected on the rank and file page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falling Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 If it goes to a vote, I think it may be enough to pass. They just need a simple majority. I'm sure people are sick of picketing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaronjw Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 interesting discussion here; https://www.facebook.com/groups/1407761619530183/permalink/1415083228798022/ I do feel bad for graduate students (international or domestic) who are struggling. I struggled too my first time in university as I was dirt poor. I had a (football) "scholarship" back then but still had to work to survive. The reality is that without the money I received to play ball I would have never been able to go to university. That said, it was an undergrad education. Even if I had wanted to pursue graduate studies at the time I couldn't have because I knew I didn't have enough money to live on. Why are grad students exempt from this reality? If they are having financial struggles why did they not consider that before going forward with grad studies? Go work, save up some money and go back. This is the part I really struggle with as there seems to be a complete lack of their own accountability in terms of "can I afford to go back to school for graduate studies at this time?" This is not their undergraduate education. This is for more advanced education. I am not sure people should be excused from their own inability to plan properly. Moral hazard! Caveat: no issues with newly admitted international grad students. We all know they got hoses by the $7K fee increase. /off soapbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falling Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 I'm being serious. There are only a handful of options with a sociology/polisci/genderstudies undergraduate degree. If they don't want to/can't get into law school, they've got like HR, grad school or lucking into (see: networking) a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
