With the York University strike by the 3903 teacher assistants, graduate assistants and contract faculty have unevitably forced the 50,000 York students to change their plans for their lives. As the strike has lasted 14 days already,the majority of the students, particularly fourth year students have begun to plan otherwise for their future years. With the growing time, the chances of plans being distrupted for summer jobs, earning money for their university fees,etc will be higher. "I paid $800 to apply to law school, which would be wasted if I don't get my degree this year," a student said. "This is a big deal."
The fact that unions are able to form is clearly the reason why 50,000 students must sit and wait for the outcome of the strike while their future plans are being ruined. Unions must not be allowed in the general society and the York University strike is the perfect reason and example. Unions are only a selfish group which thrives for their own good and in the process destroys the society and economy, hardly considering the overall outcome. As such, the union in the York strike must be aborted so the 50,000 students can once again return to their studies.
