The strike

Basically Bush passed a law which declares that Unis have the right not to recognise the right for TAs and GAs to form a union. As a result, after one of the contracts signed for the benefit of TAs and GAs expired, the Uni decided not to recognise the union, and deny the possible renegotiation of a new contract guaranteeing benefits. Currently thats a problem because of their low pay of about 12000 a year, and although they pay no tuition, there is a clause that says that they are not allowed to take a second job. So with food, rent and bills to pay, living on 1k a month(highly impossible in NYC) and no alternative job, the GAs and TAs are striking, with the support of many professors. They are striking for the right to the recognition of the Union to bargain for their livelihood. Rather sad i feel.

And till now i haven't finished the shit i need to complete. Why is it so damn hard to just sit down and do the things i need to do? Rant Rant Rant.

I wish i had more country songs in my lappie. Dunno why, just feel like it. More Dolly Parton please.

Sighz.
