YORK UNIVERSITY: YOU GET WHAT YOU PAID FOR

The 2008-2009 York University Strike.

Feel free to watch in HD. It's not HD video, but it sounds a hell of a lot better.

The underground Facebook hit comes to Youtube!
-----------------------------------

As picketers barricaded every entrance into the university, Kevin Leach and I walked a deserted campus with a digital camera, simply asking "Why?"

Enjoy

the ppl on strike are having the time of their lives out there..

When I was talking to the T.A. at 2:15, he told me that he was around in the last strike that went for 11 weeks. He said that it was nice at first, because it was sort of fun and the weather was sort of nice, but then it got cold, and winter happened, and people got more bitter and less optimistic.

I believe that's the case now, explains why I hear a lot of stories about them being dicks nowadays.

It's obvious to me most of you are York students, and I feel for you.

As a Seneca student, walking the deserted campus is uncomfortable.

TA's get paid well. They are not just paid to work but to further their own personal research. I hope some of these TA's who were for the strike end up working at a restaurant where you make minimum wage to wash dishes. Then mabye they would see how good they had it.

[Resendezmusic]

im sure that about 70 percent of the students that complain about their ta's are the ones who don't actually give a fuck about anything. So is there really an effort put in? Im not saying that all Ta's are good Ta's, But we cant assume that because you got a bad mark in your class that it is necessarily the Ta's fault.. And i believe that it was some sort of Ta's union that actually started the strike. so most Ta's got Shafted by the strike as well. its crazy..

[nslovano]

I would've paid handsomely to be given the permission to run all these assholes over...I had to endure this strike, lost a year's worth of tution, and on top of that, had to put up with asshole TA's the following year that were still "jaded" by the strike. This is truly a pathetic school. The school has two goals: continue to OVERenroll students and to keep building parking structures and charging $20 per day to park at JANE AND FUCKING FINCH!

[Solidgrass]

you sold your soul to satan... like illuminati verbal contract? holy!>>>

[KMalina7]

I'm graduating this year!! :) I won't be around for the next strike :D

[hydroponikroniksmoke]

just run them all over! over and over and over again!
