On strike

I eventually participate in one of the Canadian Culture - Strike which is a breaking record in VPL history.

According to the rule, members need to picket for 20 hours a week in order to get some $$$ ( I call it "transportation fee"). Of course, not only the $$$, but also to show solidarity to our union. A huge crowd about 400 members presented at the Central Library on first day. This is an opportunity to catch up with colleagues who haven't seen for long. Then we say how many topics we can chat for a day long picketing. It is boring to walk around. Time runs slowly. So next week I will bring a book to read and kill some time.
