Nobody asked me, but . . .
According to DR1, the UASD strike is over, after 27 days? Calenadar days? Working days? The strike was declared ended on 25 April 06. My questions:
1. did any or all of the striking faculty members & other striking employees receive compensation during or after the strike for the period of the strike? How much? Why? Penalties for striking?
2. When did / will the employees physically actually return to actual work?
3. Do / will the paying parents of the students recevie any refund for the days of the strike when nothing was taught to the students? Why not?
4. Would the public, esp. including students, be well served by a national law that every striking public employee must by law lose 3 days' pay for every day of non - work, ie strike? New York State has had such a law for years; actually loss of 2 days' pay for each day of strike. It seems to do wonders in reducing public inconvenience caused by public employee strikes. But, . . it's not fool proof. Witness the Xmas 2005 NYC subway strike.
5. Did any of the public media, inc. papers, radio, &/or TV ask any of these questions?
