The Strike: If it drags on... - Part 2 (the hard part to come)

Right now, there is a lot of energy behind the student worker strike. Rallies, etc. No one has yet missed a paycheck. The pressure on the administration as sections are not taught and grades are delayed has yet to arise. Faculty who support student researchers on grants - and have only so many dollars to support their research - will likely have a different view of potential cost increases than faculty who are supplied with TAs at no direct cost to them. That division of interest has yet to surface. But as time goes on, all of these pressures and divisions will emerge.

So, we remind all concerned, that there is a way out if negotiations cannot produce a solution to the current impasse. It's the solution we outlined yesterday for a modified form of arbitration.*
