And here are some local resources on the strike:

student blog that describes itself as “a neutral atmosphere for discussions about the strike.” 

The website and facebook group of a group calling for binding arbitration to resolve the dispute — a position the university endorses and the union opposes.

The official websites of York University and the striking union local, and the union’s strike blog.
