I think not...First, I think I am being consistent. I think not striking because it is costly makes a great deal of sense. Those seeking to strike, at least in my experience, seem to think that there should be few costs, if any. Thus, those sensitive to the costs of striking don't strike and those that aren't do strike. Perhaps I wrote poorly (not entirely out of character).<br /><br />Second, I am unsure of what the various universities would/are doing. Failing an entire cohort? Hmmm.... I am just glad that I don't have to think about these things.Steve Saidemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09881915512311951902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8446351548038522890.post-19060865461965943412012-03-14T10:22:14.324-04:002012-03-14T10:22:14.324-04:00Isn't it inconsistent to state that some McGil...Isn't it inconsistent to state that some McGill students found that striking would be really expensive and suggesting that the striking students are unwilling to pay the cost of their action?<br /><br />FWIW, it wasn't my understanding that they had forced their institutions to support the strikes by adjusting schedules. By acting as a group, they simply force the universities and, more importantly the province, to decide whether they want to deal with the consequences of failing a whole cohort.Cardinalishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13777863278901600993noreply@blogger.com
