As some of you may know, it looks as though the Dalhousie faculty and support staff may both be drawing closer to strikes. Given the time of year these strikes would be taking place one would expect any picket lines to include strike huts and burning barrels.
Fortunately for future Halifax strikers, as a result of the ongoing transit strike the municipal government has recently agreed to not enforce the bylaw that makes illegal to have barrel fires in Halifax. Presumably this precedent will carry over to other contemporaneous strikes?
Anyway, assuming that the transit strike keeps going and the Dal faculty and support staff strike, Halifax could soon become the barrel fire capital of Canada.
I'm also curious about strike etiquette. If to separate unions at the same employer are on strike at the same time how are picket positions determined? Seems like there's a chance that the second union to go out could get stuck with dud locations.
