It’s ethical due to the fact we’re going to begin from in which we stopped.
If I became coaching a pupil at two hundred degrees, do you count on me to simply leap to three hundred-degree while we resume? We ought to pass returned after the strike, forfeit our depart and comfort, and train from in which we stopped. If the authorities had attended to this strike from day one, we wouldn’t be here.

This is the 14th week that the authorities have now no longer intervened. Hold the authorities responsible. You are seeking to punish a person who’s being punished.

I’ve now no longer been paid for 3 months. I’m being punished, my youngsters are at domestic and they’re being punished.

We signed a settlement in 2009, the MoA in 2020, and that they didn’t enforce them and you’re speaking me approximately college students being at domestic.

I thank God that our college students realize the hassle and they’re addressing it.
