It's about principle. Anyway, my heart goes out to the 10% who voted no for a strike, and the portion of the 90% who voted yes because they felt pressured to. All in all... I don't see anyone actually "winning" this dispute. It's unfortunate. @Julian Gibbs

The impression I’ve gotten from faculty throughout this ordeal is that it’s not actually about the money, it’s about the fact that they perceive themselves as in the process of receiving the short end of the stick. It’s about principle.

Anyway, my heart goes out to the 10% who voted no for a strike, and the portion of the 90% who voted yes because they felt pressured to.

All in all… I don’t see anyone actually “winning” this dispute. It’s unfortunate.
