Vancouver Sun: Union faction urges B.C. teachers to support full-scale strike
Pamphlet calling for a province-wide strike was circulated to delegates Sunday at the union’s annual general meeting
A faction of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation is calling for a provincewide strike by public-school teachers that would continue until the Liberal government repeals a new law that the group describes as the most aggressive attack on education in a generation.
“There are times in history when taking action is critical,” says a pamphlet circulated to delegates Sunday at the union’s annual general meeting in Vancouver and leaked to The Vancouver Sun. “Only a strong response will be able to stop Bill 22.”
