The students at my school are on strike right now, protesting bus prices which are set to be raised over 50%.
Buses are the main means of transportation in Valparaíso.
Some departments were on strike up until this past Friday, others are on strike indefinitely until the situation is resolved.
Students are not going to class, and incidentally I have been under the weather, so I was able to miss class without there actually being class to miss.
Update: The paro will continue into Thursday, when there will be a national student strike. 4/23
Update: The paro continues and will probably go until at least tomorrow, Monday April 28th. The Universidad Federico Santa Maria has declared they are on strike until May 4th. The Playa Ancha campus of the PUCV is in a toma–the students are sleeping at the school and the faculty no longer have access to the school. Bus fares are set to raise tomorrow. 4/27
Poster protesting raise in prices
Intense.
Do you mean, faculty are striking too? Or grad students? Or are the undergrads organizing by department? (or something else)
Faculty are not on strike.
Students (under and post grad) are on strike, and are organizing themselves according to their major.
