    Where is our “meeting insider” hiding? When did this meeting happen (or is it still happening??) Good grief I loathe the hurry-up-and-wait game….

    I have no insider tipster this time guys. I find out when you guys do. I know people who were in the strike vote meeting but this one is between the negotiators.

    the union has just announced 2 GMM meetings- one for saturday and one for the 20th. does this mean that nothing was resolved or just that they are preparing for not settling?

    If I have an assignment that is due Monday and if this meeting does result in us going back to school by Monday… do i still hand it in on Monday or is there an extension on all assignment dates?

    I’m starting to get really annoyed with the lack of information about this meeting that they are having.

    I wish someone would tell us something.

    Okay this is really nerve racking. Why the hell cant CUPE 3903 provide some information about the strike so that we can all know what the hell is happening? Its 5:30 already! How long is their meeting this time? 15 hours? Ridiculous.

    P.S.: this comment is directed solely at CUPE 3903 and York Admin. Not at the owner of this blog or any of the commentators here.

    we’re all in the same boat- there are no tipsters this time …we are just playing the waiting game.

    Ok, so I just checked the National Post web site and they are saying the union does not want binding aribitration. No word yet as to the decision.

    To the highly valued Anonymous Tipster,
    Please help us out one more time. We are highly indebted to you!
    Thanks!

    @ sam

    I don’t think anyone knows anything yet. That’s why we’re all so anxious.

    So were these GMM meeting dates a result of the meeting that was held this afternoon? If you read CUPE’s website, it sounds like they are re-adjusting their demands….?

    No I mean the CUPE. This is really not fair for us undergrads because we cant afford to give up our summer. I run a team and I really need to go on vacation on April and return in may for the season.

    Don’t go by me but this is what I have gathered so far:

    The CUPE site said yesterday that they would have a meeting today, Nov 13th afternoon. They posted a message at 1:36 talking about Nov 15 and Nov 20 meetings.
    Also, CityTV didn’t mention anything about the meeting and has been mentioning the strike and residence students going home – this is at 8:40pm.

    Conclusion: Strike is still on.

    But, I am still staying alert in cases there is information to the contrary.

    there’s an update on York’s website about todays meeting… its entitled “does CUPE 3903 really want to settle this dispute” and the future doesnt look bright
