Globe and Mail: B.C. teachers’ union walks out, vows to resist back-to-work legislation

The head of B.C.’s teachers’ union is vowing to “resist” government legislation ordering an end to her union’s strike even if passed into law, but has declined to say what form that action might take.

“We’ll be consulting with our members determining what to do,” said British Columbia Teachers’ Federation president Susan Lambert. “I can tell you that teachers will not accept legislation that erodes the quality of the school system. We will do something to continue to resist such legislation.”
