LordOfTheBorg 1 Posted October 7, 2005 Fort St. John B.C.Teachers still plan Friday walkout Global BC & Broadcast News Thursday, October 06, 2005 BC Teachers Federation president Jinny Sims. (Global BC) Global BC: VICTORIA -- A meeting between top labour leaders and B.C.'s labour minister has not averted Friday's planned walkout by the province's 42,000 teachers. The meeting only lasted about an hour in Victoria. B.C. Teachers Federation president Jinny Sims says she's prepared for whatever happens if the government won't negotiate and the walkout goes ahead. She says her members know the consequences of such action, and so does she. B.C. Federation of Labour President Jim Sinclair says the ball is in the B.C. government's court and he expects the Liberals to negotiate, even if there's an illegal walkout. And he expects picket lines will be respected by all other union workers in the public school system. He points to members of CUPE, the BC Government Employees Union, operating engineers, carpenters and others. No school for a while, for me.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
