SEIU Local 2 - Strike at 6am
Members of SEIU Local 2 (Hospitality) have rejected the University's settlement offer and will begin a strike at 6:00 a.m. on Friday, Jan. 7.
The union represents food service workers at McMaster. The University will remain open and classes will continue during the strike. There will be delays entering campus during the strike and students, faculty and staff are advised to give themselves additional time and to have patience.
What will stay open:
Centro (Commons Building), East Meets West Bistro (Mary Keyes Residence), My Mini Mac (Mary Keyes Residence), Tim Hortons (University Centre), Williams Cafe (Faculty of Health Sciences) and IAHS Café (Institute for Applied Health Services Building) will continue to be open. All other outlets operated by Hospitality services will be closed

Students can go on strike and in places like Quebec its occurs not infrequently:

In reality, students can probably exert more pressure on the university than any individual labour group. Without students in classrooms, government funding could be withheld and if students refused to pay tuition, the university would run out of money pretty quick. Students have a huge amount of potential power, but in Ontario they seem to be to be unwilling to use it. |

At Emerson and Main (confirmed by a driver this morning, its the usual spot whenever a strike happens). It's across Main street from the new Engineering building (the glass one...I can't remember the acronym right now) and next (to the left when facing the university, at the HSR shelter) to the beige-ish building with black curtains (it has a sign up front saying its looking for students or something like that). |

The bus drivers have their own union, so the drivers do it out of respect and a show of support for the striking workers and their union.
