^ Last strike was three weeks in 2006. According the the OPSEU site [http://www.opseu.org/news/press2010/feb-10-2010.htm](http://www.opseu.org/news/press2010/feb-10-2010.htm) the votes are too close and they are waiting on 300 mail in ballots before a final word. Could take 10 days to know the final results. Such bullshit if you ask me delay delay delay… gives student a final word already so they don’t have to worry and wait around for the fate of their school year. ---
