York Strike

How is the impending York strike going to affect classes at Osgoode?

The strikes are typically grad students right? That shouldn't be an issue as I don't think law courses typically have grad students as TAs or marking assistants. But perhaps someone who was at Osgoode during the last strike can provide a more detailed answer.

Last time there was a strike, During the strike in 2015, Osgoode suspended classes [for a week] in solidarity, the same happened with the Schulich Business School.

No it didn’t. The last time there was a strike was 2018, and none of Osgoode’s classes were suspended in solidarity. Some classes proceeded remotely, but the only classes that didn’t proceed at all were legal process tutorials. 

Osgoode classes also proceeded in 2015, although there was a week long suspension before they resumed.

I went through two strikes at York and Osgoode.
