A strike at Vancouver Island University has been continuing for four weeks with neither of the two parties (teachers and the administration) able to come to an agreement. It is now time for the provincial government which regulates and funds the university and has has responsibility for the greater public interest to take action. This means sending the teachers back to work and possibly imposing a contract, which could have unpleasant aspects for both parties. While it won't please some folks, there are students to think about, other employees at the university and the public and economy of the city of Nanaimo. It will also serve as an incentive for other such bargaining to reach an agreement rather than have one imposed.
