YORK U STRIKE TO END

Ontario Premiere Dalton McGuinty has set the wheels in motion to end the months long strike at Toronto's York University. What took so long? I'm all for mediation, after all, in our society there should be time for two disagreeing parties to work through an employment issue (no Ronald Reagan-style implementations needed in this case), but there should be a time limit imposed. This is serious business. These thousands of students have been held hostage and they are a chunk of Canada's future. What a waste.

One is tempted to ask: Why are there two unions for teaching staff? Is this to the advantage of 1) York U. and 2) tenured professors? It sure isn't to the advantage of the students.
