True I think.

And yet at least in Physics virtually 100% of our T.A.'s went out too.
Given the perjorative nature of words like "scab", perhaps some 
feelings about democracy since the majority voted in favour of the
strike, etc. this is not surprising to me.  But some people in Physics
are quite disappointed that our people went out since we really do
try to treat our T.A.'s as well as possible given our financial
constraints.
