New Strike !
Quote:
The University continues meeting Jan. 4 and 5 with SEIU Local 2 (Hospitality) and a provincial conciliator working towards a renewed collective agreement. SEIU Local 2 represents hospitality and food service workers at McMaster. The union is in a legal strike position at 12:01 a.m. on Thursday, Jan. 6.

While progress has been made and the University is hopeful of reaching an agreement, contingency planning is underway should there be a strike. In the event of a strike, the University's top priority will be to ensure students living in residence and those with meal plans have access to food services.

A number of food service outlets would remain open during a strike, including the Phoenix, 1280, University Club, outlets at the Downtown Centre and Ron Joyce Centre, and the cafeterias located in McMaster University Medical Centre.

I support this strike.
As much as I don't want to, I'm going elsewhere to eat.

We have kitchens too, I swear . Even if they are shared by 30 other people DX

@ L'Etoile - Looks like we might have to plan a whole bunch of trips offcampus.. How convenient -_-
