This is the shit that makes me want to go ape shit on TSSU/CUPE.
On a side note, it's totally fucked up how they try to use students to push their cause at the risk of the student's grades. Don't get me wrong, I see the purpose of TAs and their usefulness in some courses however to go and say shit like "everyone can go home today, you don't have to go to school before of the strike" is complete buffoon.
I had one of them tell me that I didn't have to write an exam because I would be crossing the picket line. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? I spent my weekend studying for this exam and now you want me to postpone it?
GO FUCK YOURSELF.
At first, I was on the side of the TSSU/CUPE but now with their retarded representation and jeopardizing my grade, I hope the administration really sticks it to them.
That video makes the skinny pedal look way to tempting to mash.
For some reason, this just reminds me of the occupy protests. I have absolutely zero respect for CUPE members, how can you justify fighting for your cause by screwing over the only demographic that's truly powerless in all of this?

It's funny because they probably picked the WRONG guy to showcase because everyone knows that Kin 143 is one of the best courses at SFU and he's a good prof.
I supported CUPE for their need for more $ (lowest in Canada) but they keep shooting themselves in the foot like entitled assholes with shit like this. SFU has gained a ridiculous amount of leverage once this video goes viral in the community.
What hasn't Killed me, has made me more tolerant of RS!

How much do they get paid? I heard somewhere around 20$. Last time I checked, people with degrees have jobs that pay less than that.
If they don't like it I am sure there are people working at McDonalds who would love having their job.
I hope SFU screw them up, even fire them if they can and hire new people (I don't know how unions work so not sure if they can do that).
They want higher wages at the expense of students who will obviously have to pay more tuition to cover their wage increase.
If I'm wrong, someone correct me.
TSSU is the same crap. They say they did not had a contract for 2 years. But someone told me that they actually turned down every contract offered to them in that timeframe because they didn't like it.
What's more than that, they bend you over when they correct your exams. I mentioned in this thread how I got back 20% more on my exam by requesting a re-mark from the senior instructor. They enjoy venting off by making students grades miserable because 20$+ per hour is not enough. To me it looks like a sence of entitlement, just like waitresses who expect 15% no matter what
lol this strike is a joke. Those bastards made my prof cut 30 mintues from my midterm. So I only got 75 min of midterm writing time. Stupid idiots. Why they gotta screw everything for the students.
Though even after watching the video, I don't think that the TSSU would do something like that. I'm sure it was someone that felt humiliated by the TSSU that thought by posting this, it would put an even horrid light on the TSSU thus giving them the even shittier end. I do agree that the handling of the incident was immature as fuck, but I'm sure there's some kind of maturity there. They might be on strike but they're also adults.
But then again, those are also the adults that were telling me that I could skip my exams just by sending my professor an email saying that I didn't want to cross the picket... Hmm....
Side question: my sfu weekly schedule shows that there's class on monday..
is there?
^^ Did you start on the 360 writing portfolio yet? Prof said he'll email us the guidelines for doing the cover pages, but didn't send us anything yet. And my group didn't even get back the exercise #4 yet, so I can't even start on that. Sent him and email on Saturday, and still haven't gotten a reply back. Even though he postponed everything, it's not really helping anymore... I hate this prof, so unprepared
Yo what did you get on the letter submission. I fucking did horrible 14.5. Fuck now there is no chance for me to get an A.

God wtf.
I got 15 on that. An A for 360 is gonna be hard to get. As much as I also wanting an A for that class, I'd be happy with a B or higher. How's your report going? Gotta work my ass off for the report.
