We win, because we say so
On one of those one-day strike thingies:
"The strike was incredibly successful," said the union's systemwide Director Dominic Chan. "Our major goal wasn't shutting down the university, but we wanted to focus public opinion onto the crisis in research."
While I'm sure he's right that the union will win, it's kind of odd to declare victory before you've won. All they did was get press coverage, but press coverage wasn't an end, it was a means to the end of getting more money or something (I hope). Unions have learned, of course, that the easiest way to hit a target is to shoot first and decide whatever you hit was the target. Sadly, union folks probably gobble this crap up.
