Although Los Angeles has had its share of labor disputes recently (the MTA bus strike was settled a couple of weeks ago and the Ralph’s/Vons/Albertson’s strike/lockout has been going on for 8 weeks now), this thing is gonna be statewide. TAs from all eight UC campuses will stop grading papers and exams. Just in time for finals!
[Update 03 December: the union has reached a tentative agreement with the UC so the strike has been called off.]
Perhaps they will just cancel the finals, but knowing what my teachers have done in the past the test format is going to probably be a fill-in-the-bubble with a #2 pencil and have the computer grade it.
Power to the TAs!
