This affected too many people to let this die. I hope you get better. Is there not a train or bus he can take? I hope everyone is compensated for loss of educational opportunities. How much of a refund will they give everyone? Will the state compensate for gas/time/losses? I know that last sentence is just a dream.<br />pparsimonyLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-67939210926141814582016-10-22T19:48:11.290-04:002016-10-22T19:48:11.290-04:00Ugh, how awful. :( I'm glad the strike is ove...Ugh, how awful. :( I'm glad the strike is over and hope you can get your son back there easily.

I left a message with Wolf's office telling him how unhappy I am and truly believe teaches should not be able to go on strike.

No one seems to win, and the ones hurt the most are staff already living paycheck to paychek, and collateral victims. Before anyone yells at me about workers rights, I feel I can say this as I am in a union, and have been the spouse and child of parents in unions. I fully support when there seems to be blatant maniupulation on one side or the other, but often the final deals ae so nitpicky, and it isn;t even the workers, but the union heavy's and the so far removed boards doing the nitpicking back and forth-not really the ones impacted. I hope for all your sake, this is reolved quickly, but the dining hall stuff is assinine-required to stay, but no food, and you've paid for the service? Sound like fraud.

I am honestly and sincerely hoping we as a nation can somehow or another get beyond this attitude that for me to win you have to lose and vice versa. It seems to me the only losers here are the folks paying for the privilege of being educated. I would be pissed off as a parent, but I can't imagine how pissed I would be if I were a student paying for this with college loans. How much would a week of non-education cost me in real dollars over the life time of the loan?
