Strike Vote Today

Today was the day. In fact, tonight was the night. The CAS would have gone into a meeting understanding one thing about their reality, and left perhaps moving on to another.

What everyone needs to understand is that this is just another step in the process and by no means a reason to panic or think that anything has changed. This vote may or may have not put them into strike position. This doesn't mean that strike will absolutely happen next week, but it means that if they have strong enough support, they could. This also doesn't mean that there isn't the chance that Laurier won't lockout. This is, and has always been an option as soon as the "No Board" report is delivered.

This is now our chance to move. We can use this time to act. I do still believe that the students can apply pressure to motivate action on the behalf of the administration. We have always proven that we can inspire movement, and I think we can inspire more. Come to the general demonstration on Monday, March 17th. This is a key day: a day of mediation. Let's make noise, and show our outrage in an extremely visible way.
