The Gazette (Montreal): Dawson students stage strike
By the books, it was an ordinary day at Dawson College – if it weren’t for the clutch of picketers on the doorstep shouting “Free Education Now,” security guards keeping watch for interlopers, or the faculty members who cancelled classes or simply refused to cross the line.
Students at Dawson College kicked off an impromptu three-day strike yesterday, joining more than 40,000 university and CEGEP students from across the province who are boycotting classes to protest Quebec’s decision to boost tuition fees by $500 over the next five years.
