Goku Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 The April exam schedule was supposed to be released today but it was conveniently "delayed due to system issues" https://twitter.com/yorkuniversity/status/571408223816818688 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Update email from York (definitely over the misreporting of UofT by every news source ahaha) The mediator has requested that the University and CUPE 3903 not comment on the progress of mediation until it is completed. The University is respecting the mediator’s request at this time. The Senate Executive Committee met today to consider the implications of a potential labour disruption on the academic activities of the University. This meeting is a step required under the Senate Policy on the Academic Implications of Disruptions or Cessations of University Business Due to Labour Disputes or Other Causes. In a communication issued earlier today, Senate Executive has indicated that at the outset of a disruption, if it were to occur, all academic activities, classes and examinations will be suspended at the University except for a minimal number with distinctive characteristics. Senate Executive also assured the community that it is committed to dealing quickly and sensitively with academic implications if they were to arise, and will communicate decisions that it makes widely and promptly. This communication from Senate Executive has been posted on the Senate website. Regards, Janet MorrisonVice-Provost Students Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruhh Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 I need to study but I can't even start to give a crap when my mind thinks there will be a strike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falling Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 I wish they could have delayed starting the strike until the upcoming Friday, or tell us before Monday. I'm going to get up for school at 6am on Tuesday and find out I can go back to bed after staying up late studying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aang Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 While progress continues to be made at the table on a range of issues, recent sign-offs have largely been on relatively minor proposals. The BT continues to urge the Employer to respond more seriously to the Union’s core demands if it wishes to avoid strike action by CUPE 3903 members. -Posted February 28, 2015 The final bargaining meeting with the Employer and Conciliator will take place on Sunday, March 1 from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in 280N York Lanes. Most likely there will indeed be a strike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronjw Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Can't wait to read the circular admin-speak of steamy dog sh!t that's spews forth following the conclusion of today's final bargaining session at York. Much will be written but nothing will be communicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falling Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 You know things are bad when the cupe decides to make a post countering all the claims that the admin made. This one is going to get ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronjw Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 ^^ very true. I found it interesting. Although I had not actually seen something from U of T detailing their bargaining concessions so who is to say what CUPE is saying is factual? All entities embellish in these situations.

bruhh Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 York might as well present a crappy proposal since CUPE seems to be craving the strike anyway. Then they could just wait it out till the back-to-work bill puts them all down lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falling Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 I guess it would be in our interest for York to give them something really crappy today. We'd find out earlier if theyre not accepting. The cupe website is down. Which one of you ion-cannon'd them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballislife123321 Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 U of T still has school during their strike which I don't understand. ( Just no Labs, tutorials and no midterms) Will York still have school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronjw Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 U of T still has school during their strike which I don't understand. ( Just no Labs, tutorials and no midterms) Will York still have school? No, save for a few exceptions. Classes will be canceled. Mainly because of how many contract professors there are and how much actual instruction they provide compared to tenured/full-time profs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
