CUPE members (SFU support staff) will spread their strikes across all higher ed institutions. UVIC have already taken strike action and where I work a recent vote agreed to action here too.

Agreed on both points. Being locked out is not the same thing as being on strike. Rather the opposite.

A lockout is a temporary work stoppage or denial of employment during a labor dispute initiated by the management of a company. This is different from a strike, in which employees refuse to work.
But potato, potatoe. They are all people moaning and groaning that they aren't compensated enough. They should be lucky they have a job in this economy.

The example gets overstretched in response to your last silly sentence.
