The Globe and Mail: Teachers to hold strike vote

VANCOUVER — Teachers are going back to school Sept. 6 and voting Sept. 20 and 22 on whether they will stay there.

The B.C. Teachers’ Federation will conduct a provincewide strike vote over the two days and report the results to its members and the public on Sept. 23.

The province’s 42,000 teachers have been without a contract for 15 months.

If a majority votes in favour of a strike, teachers could walk off the job within 72 hours after the results are known.
