No, but they have to keep a schedule so they have to avoid the picket lines.

That and the bus drivers for the HSR and Go Transit and unionized and therefore refuse to cross the picket lines out of solidarity.

its pretty good, one of the ladies working at commons told me that mac is pulling them off their permanent jobs. So all they want is the position secured. They are not asking for a raise or something

Unskilled workers who are easily replaced should be making minimum wage, and do not deserve a free ride. Being a cafeteria worker is not a career.

Also, administration expense accounts and allegations of their misuse have nothing to do with what these workers deserve to make.

This strike is so dumb. I hope the univ. doesn't give in.

Question.. When do the picket lines stop at night? Can a car go in hassle-free around 9 PM? I'm assuming these people go to bed and have things to do after picketing, but I just wanted to make sure.

So yeah OP it does get harder, but its do-able of course its its not like you are inventing or engineering a new device.

Hope that helps
