Sorry, but I must disagree that my last edit was any more biased than the statement that Eddy Campbell settled the strike. My last statement, that he appealed for government intervention on the first day of the strike, was supported by citing a newspaper article where Dr. Campbell is quoted. The contention that Dr. Campbell "settled the strike" is unsupported. While the strike ended, it is to this day not "settled" as we await the decision of the arbitrator.

Is there a way would could work out language that would better reflect Dr. Campbell's role in the only strike UNB has ever had? What is there presently is both biased and inaccurate.

Response: Yes, it is true that I walked the picket line in January. However, my goal in editing the Eddy Campbell page was not revenge (even though my first edit was admittedly somewhat intemperate). Rather, my goal is to present a more accurate picture of the man. Clearly, Eddy Campbell did NOT settle the UNB strike, as the original author of the article states. WikiPedia policy states, "The writing of "puff pieces" and advertisements is prohibited." Claiming that Dr. Campbell settled the strike is puffery, pure and simple. It is unsupported by the facts (the strike was suspended when both parties agreed to binding arbitration) and citation.

How, then, to fix the piece? You point out that I may be in conflict of interest (although your definitions seem restrictive). Trying to be respectful of my newly-learned Wiki etiquette, I won't edit again unless the inaccuracy remains. May I suggest that you change the piece to reflect the facts? The statement that Dr. Campbell "settled" the strike has to go.

Looking forward to further exchanges.

Re: The arbitration award: I think most of the faculty were in some ways saddened by the award. Yes, it legitimized our positions on almost all of the issues. However, we generally love the University. Had the University administration taken a different path in negotiations, we probably would have settled for less than we were awarded by the arbitrator. I think no one is happy to have management that behaves in such counter-productive ways. I think we all want a productive, vibrant university. Sadly, everything the present administration touches seems to turn to straw.

I have it from a reliable source that  the UNB negotiating strategy was dictated by CAUBO. Expect other universities to sign on to that particular path. I hear Windsor is set to strike soon... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Libraryref (talk • contribs) 17:34, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
