Carleton University Students Association shows solidarity with striking workers

Striking CUPE members at Carleton University will be joined on the picket line by the university's Students Association.

"The university administration has absolutely no excuse for refusing to
give support staff a fair deal," said Shelley Melanson, President of the
Carleton University Students' Association, "We know that the university has
more money than last year-the government increased core funding and tuition
fees were increased. There is absolutely no excuse for the administration to
threaten students' academic year."


I wish all university student associations were this militant.
