I must admit that I have not really been following this one since the get go, but it has started to get my attention.
But it has been dragging out now for 5 weeks. If I understand it correctly, the government has offered a 7.75 percent wage increase over 4 years. That seems pretty fair to me. (Especially when my salary has gone up 0 percent in the last 4 years.)
Most interesting is that the government is now tabling back to work legislation as it feels it is at the end of its rope. Predictably, the NDP under Horwath have said that they will not support such legislation (they want the labour vote I guess).
My opinion is that the college teachers / professors have it pretty damn good. I have a friend who teaches accounting at Humber (as well as works in the industry) and she readily admits that it's a great environment to work in and a good deal.
So enough already.
My opinion remains "if you don't like your job, quit and find a better one" .
