Some work behind a picket line got disrupted? Consider my pearls clutched.
This is pretty standard stuff, James. I don’t agree that “intimidating” is the right description for the depicted protest, especially in the context
of a campus that is being picketed.

Dear colleagues,
I have just watched a very distressing (tik tok) video apparently showing a group of TSSU strikers invading a lecture hall, doing their best to disrupt the lecture, and aggressively intimidating the faculty
member trying to teach his students. Perhaps others of you have seen this video or will see it; perhaps there are or will be others like it. I assume that actions of the kind shown in the video are illegal, and not only under the Labour Code. I call on TSSU
to condemn and disavow these actions. Sincerely, JDF
