CANADA B.C. TEACHERS VOTES IN FAVOUR OF STRIKE


VANCOUVER, CANADA - The majority of teachers across British Columbia are in favour of strike action.The Vancouver School Board had been warning parents to be prepared for a strike.
Results released late Wednesday showed that of 32,209 votes cast, 27,946 teachers — or 87 per cent — support escalating their limited job action to a full-scale walkout.
  • Since September, teachers have been skipping administrative tasks in an attempt to get the province to budge on contract demands. The teachers, who have been without a contract since June, have refused to meet with administrators, supervise recess or fill out report cards.
  • The teachers federation has asked for a 15 per cent wage increase and improved benefits.
The provincial government says that can't happen under its so-called "net-zero" mandate, in which public-sector workers can't receive pay increases unless the added costs are offset by concessions elsewhere in a contract.
On Tuesday, the B.C. Labour Relations Board ruled that teachers were allowed to take an initial three-day strike, and then one day per week afterwards, as long as parents were given two days notice. That means job action could take place as soon as next week.
