BURNABY - Over the past week, life has been turned upside down for campus and community groups on SFU's Burnaby Campus. Last Thursday, CUPE Local 3338 members were given notice that after two years of contract negotiations they would be locked out of their offices. The move by the Simon Fraser Student Society (SFSS) impacts 15 permanent staff and five student employees who work for the Society. The lockout took effect Sunday and picket lines went up in front of the SFU Women's Centre and Out on Campus (OoC) spaces Monday morning.
