They pay one hour for work that in reality takes at least twice as long


#4 GEORGE SQUARE

The enemy doesn’t arrive by boat. He arrives by limousine







University staffs and teachers started a strike since 2020 spring. However, the whole striking movement was forced to pause because lockdown arrived so soon and unexpectedly.

When I walked around campus in June, all the slogans and flyers were still on the walls (and the sarcastic little sticker), just like the time had been frozen.

At the time, people stopped protesting about unfair wages and working hours because they needed to focus on surviving, but it didn’t mean the unfairness no longer exist.

好像是二月左右開始,學校的教職員發起了罷工,抗議薪資不公以及工時過長,傳單上寫的許多例子都非常具體,用力傳達出這些人對生活的無奈與憤怒。

熱烈的罷工在三月底封城後只能煙消雲散,而我在六月的初夏散步到主校區時,發現一張張抗議傳單依舊黏在牆上(還有一張講話頗酸的小貼紙),像是時間被凍結了一樣。

在當時大家應該都覺得先活下去、不要感染才是最重要的,不過這些事情其實一直沒有消失,只是我們不再討論而已。
