From the BC Teachers’ Federation:

For the record: Teachers have no plan for strike vote; Liberals play politics of fear with students and parents

Contrary to reports on BCTV Global last evening and in today’s Vancouver Sun, B.C. teachers have no plan for a strike vote. BCTF President Jinny Sims said she wants to assure parents that there is absolutely no plan for any disruption in the school year.

“It is unconscionable for Premier Campbell to claim that there are plans for a school strike only weeks before provincial exams and days after the election,” Sims said.

“It is outrageous that the premier would tell such blatant lies to the electorate,” Sims added. “This is nothing less than fear-mongering. It is a disturbing act of desperation from a government that has failed our students and therefore needs to deflect scrutiny of its record.”
