Stand Up. Fight Back- Budget Cuts at Brock University

On February 28th, B.L.A.S.T. (Brock Labour and Students Together) held a rally to oppose impending budget cuts at the university, which will undoubtedly have negative consequences on the quality of education that school can provide. Furthermore, overworked and underpaid employees will become even more overworked, if they are even able to secure employment. Brock TV covered that rally, and you can see highlights here. The piece is extremely well done. It begins at 4:39 into the clip, and runs about three minutes. Speakers include Wayne Samuelsson (OFL), Sid Ryan (CUPE), and Joel Duff (Canadian Federationof Students). Curtis Maloley, VP of CUPE 4207, is also interviewed.
