Thanks skas13. It's good to know people are being rational about this situation.skas13 said:Maple- I agree with you. But there have been confirmations that PAFSO is now paying strikers 100% of their salary so that they can commit fully to the cause.
Here is the article I am referring to
http://www.sunnewsnetwork.ca/sunnews/politics/archives/2013/07/20130729-151852.html
Normally, when you strike you get a stipend, when i went on strike 7 years ago with PSAC (it lasted one week), I got either $50-75/day (I can't remember now). It surely is not enough money to live in most countries. I am sure the strikers want to go back to work, no one wants to picket. It is not fun. But there is a reason we have unions and PAFSO is protecting their members. It's the gov't who should be looking out for us citizens, because they are the people we vote for not the union.
Secondly, no one has released any statement about this strike going on until the fall, let's try to be positive and share factual information about the strike.
Here is a great place to talk to other people going through the same thing: And lot of good news articles being posted from around the globe

@ MichelleZilio on Twitter
She is the ipolitics.ca reporter covering the strike and reporting everything in real time. her information has been factual and accurate.
Also everyone, note: ITS A ROTATING STRIKE. NDVO is striking today, maybe later they'll get some other VO to strike.
Today we cry, tomorrow we laugh.
