Should I just leave this post as "The 100th post" or write what I initially planned to write about?
Gayness.
I shall leave this post as "The 100th post"... NOT.
What I initially planned to write about is the university staff strike in Melbourne, where some classes have been cancelled today as some lecturers may be participating in the strike.
Received this email yesterday but just read it this morning :
| Subject: | NTEU strike action -- Tomorrow - Thursday 21 May 2009 |

A message from Peter Marshall - Vice-President (Administration)

You may be aware the National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU) has called
for a 24 hour strike on Thursday, 21 May 2009 at all Australian campuses
of the University.
The strike action has been called by the NTEU in support of a new
enterprise bargaining agreement for academic and general staff of the
University. The strike is protected industrial action under the
provisions of the Workplace Relations Act 1996, and is a legitimate form
of industrial action available to the NTEU in support of its enterprise
bargaining claims.
Students should be aware that this strike action may cause disruption to
student classes on Thursday. However most scheduled lectures and
tutorials will proceed. The University has not cancelled any activities
and on the basis of the announced industrial action does not anticipate
the need for the adoption of any special arrangements. Unless you have
been advised by your lecturer or tutor that they intend to take
industrial
action and their class will not proceed, you should assume your lecture
and/or tutorial will proceed as normal.
As part of the strike action students may also encounter industrial
picket
lines and associated traffic congestion (particularly around Clayton
campus) at the entrances to each campus. The NTEU have published advice
to their membership indicating that there will be picket lines at
entrances to each Victorian campus of the University, commencing from as
early as 6:30am. It is likely picket lines will not be maintained after
lunchtime.
Advice on issues dealing with picket lines and campus access on the
strike
day is available at www.adm.monash.edu.au/enterprise-bargaining/
For further updates on these issues, students should check
