A strike that threatens to shut down classes at Toronto's York University is growing increasingly likely, a senior administrator said Wednesday, as a midnight deadline approached with no talks planned.
The possible strike by contract faculty, teaching assistants and graduate students, represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees, would affect more than 50,000 students enrolled at the country's third-largest university.
“I think a strike is fairly likely,” said Robert Drummond, the university's dean of arts who is leading negotiations.

This really isn't a huge deal. When I was in college, the teachers and staff went on strike at this same time of year. It lasted until just before or just after Christmas. It's not ideal but it's not much of a problem really.
