This isn't something which made its way into the British news silo, so it was interesting to learn of a 6 month strike by University Workers.
My long term view of strikes is that they may lead to an uplift for the sector over time as a desire to avoid similar action is there, but the workers involved in the main, initial strike, rarely see a benefit & many lose substantially.
For the students affected, this is such a small part of your life, it feels big now, but more important will be your ongoing attitude to work and continued learning.
