Some of McMaster University's professors showed major support today for teaching and research assistants on strike.
The strikers from McMaster expanded their picket line today to downtown Hamilton. They targetted a high rise under construction, supposedly as a graduate student residence.
“This place is going to cost $1,800 a month to live in. they only pay us $11,000 a year, and they put limits on how many hours we can work elsewhere, leaving us in a really impossible situation. Leaving the question of who are they building this for?” President of CUPE 3906 Chris Fairweather said.
With professors and others marching to the picket line in support, the strikers say they’re waiting for any movement toward a resolution.
