The CFA’s upcoming vote to authorize a strike can be found on the Poly Post’s website, noting an authorization process estimated to continue until mid-November, nearing the end of the fall semester.
The idea is circulating among all faculty members of the union, yet it’s the student’s concern regarding their futures that weighs heavily on their education.
After four years of hard work and dedication, chemical engineering student Kiana Martin is more than ready to graduate. All her long hours of project building and study sessions will finally pay off at the end of this semester. Eager to begin her career, Martin was offered a full-time job in the spring. Yet, her ability to graduate college might be put on hold.
Martin, along with other students, question how the strike and its timing may affect the outcome of final grades.
“It is coming close to the end of the semester,” said Martin. “I can’t imagine what would happen if we had to compact the rest of our courses into a few weeks if we miss out on a good portion of the semester.”
