How likely is a strike for seasonal professors
Hi guys, just wanted to know your opinion on how likely do you think a strike would occur of seasonal professors?

The reason I'm asking this is that only one professor of mine mentioned about a possible seasonal strike thing. I also didn't see any discussion of it here.

You mean sessional, not seasonal.

It depends on a lot of things: the administration, what the union is demanding, when the contract is up etc.

A tentative agreement has been reached, and a strike is unlikely at this point. Its still a possibility, but I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Its also possible that the profs who didn't mention it aren't sessional, and would not be on strike regardless.

EDIT: Figured I should include a source...
