Industrial Action.. WHOAT?!
Saturday, July 16, 2005
As most of the students already know, the University staff are going to go on a nation-wide strike on Wednesday. While I thought the worst could happen is lectures got cancelled (YAY for us!) I received this email today:
[Whoat?? In the middle of winter they are going to cut down the heater? This is so unacceptable.]
[And Central Library will be closed? We need their copy services for goodness sake. We are in the middle of recruitment, here! Please be considerate!]
Industrial action 20 July

We are unlikely to know how disruptive this action will be until the day, but we will keep you informed of any likely implications as we become aware of them.
Already, the University has been informed that, as a result of the strike involving staff responsible for the central boiler plant, the campus-wide heating system will not be operating on Wednesday. While lecture theatres will not be heated, they will be ventilated. It will be up to individual teaching staff who are not striking and their students to determine whether lectures will go ahead.
[Whoat?? In the middle of winter they are going to cut down the heater? This is so unacceptable.]
The Recreation Centre and the Central Library will be closed. The Health Centre, however, will be open.
[And Central Library will be closed? We need their copy services for goodness sake. We are in the middle of recruitment, here! Please be considerate!]
Students are advised that in the event of an emergency staff membersNo heating is not a reason for not doing AIESEC work though. We have a fan heater readily available for use in the office. This might be good, in a way, the members will come by to look for some warmth although I can assure you they are going to complain about a lot of things that day.
