A confidential B.C. Teachers’ Federation memo outlines the potential path toward a provincewide teachers’ strike in the coming months.
The BCTF confirmed the memo’s existence Thursday but dismissed it as little more than a contingency plan, saying there is no approved plan for any job action at this point and that the focus remains on securing more dates for the continuing mediation. In a statement tweeted in advance of the breaking news story, the BCTF reaffirmed its commitment to the Labour Relations Board mediation process, saying “there can be no strike vote, job action, or lockout by the employer while that process continues.”
But the memo may be a glimpse into what may lay ahead for B.C.’s schools if mediator David Schaub withdraws from the dispute.

Is the OntarioNDP present on picket lines? ....ahhh. Just yesterday I was saying the chatter on this issue is so quiet. The teachers are losing. When is the biased poll going to come out. If that 57% could actually be informed by a neutral media-- it would drop fast. I would say this number is much higher. Every parent/grandparent I've spoken too backs the teachers. As a grandparent I support the teachers.
