Before doing something, it’s best to know what it entails. Such a policy may not have been perfectly followed in Philadelphia. 😂 As reported by The Temple News, on January 31st, the Temple University Graduate Students’ Association [TUGSA] declared a strike. Evidently, they aren’t highly paid:
In a February 6th announcement, Provost Gregory Mandel expressed the school’s desire for resolution:
But the college also stood firm:
The above appears to have possibly been less than anticipated. As characterized by The College Fix, some refusing to work have been “shocked” to lose their health benefits and free tuition. Online, Ph.D. candidate Madison Ingram posted a screenshot of Temple’s missive to those not doing their jobs:
“Lol — ‘for my convenience,'” Madison wrote. She also retweeted a presumed promotion of socialism:
The message seems in line with a modern misunderstanding. Despite an apparently common belief, socialism doesn’t transfer ownership to workers. Under socialism, government officials gain complete control of all products and means of production. Workers are still workers — but instead of operating within a system of competition, they work for the ultimate big business known as government. If they want to leave their jobs and work for someone else, they can’t — because no one else owns a business. Capitalism, in contrast to what many ostensibly think, is a system based on a free-market economy in which an individual may own his or her own business. Regardless, in the realm of popular opinion, socialism is cleaning up: DNC Panelist Lays Out the Party’s Plan: ‘We All Want’ the ‘Destruction’ of Capitalism On a College Campus, Marxists Champion COVID’s Cure: National Socialism NRA Releases Video Attacking Socialism & Dems Who Support it: ‘They Alone are the Protected Class’ On a College Campus, Marxists Champion COVID’s Cure: National Socialism New Poll Reveals a Stunning Number of Dems Favor Socialism, but Do They Know What It Is? CNN.com: Great News! Millennials Like Socialism! Back to Temple University’s strike, University of New Brunswick Assistant Professor of Sociology Nathan Kalman-Lamb stated his solidarity:
As for Temple Philosophy Ph.D. candidate Manasa Gopakumar, she crystallized her thoughts on the school’s stoppage of effective payment. From Business Insider:
In times past, workers who stopped working might have expected not to be compensated for work. But evidently, expectations have changed. Hopefully, the situation will soon get worked out. -ALEX |
