What is at stake for the students who are TA's at Carleton University and how we can avoid a strike.
When: January 13, 2009 (7:19 PM)
Location: Azrieli Theatre
[Jan 13, 2009 04:54 PM]
Nobody at Carleton wants a strike, including TAs and their union, CUPE 4600.
A strike can be averted immediately if the administration drops the demand that would cut the take-home pay of TAs, both graduate and undergraduate. The administration refuses to discuss other matters at the bargaining table until the union agrees to this demand.
This is irresponsible on the part of the administration which has the duty to ensure that Carleton students receive the education they are paying for. It is also unfair to teaching assistants whose wages only account for 5.5 percent of the Carleton University budget. There is no reason for the administration to cut pay for TAs who already earn well below the poverty line.
