You have likely heard that teachers and their employer are at an impasse in negotiations—here’s why that matters to all of us:
Teachers across British Columbia are being asked to do more with less. Classrooms are under-resourced, and the is not stepping up to improve conditions in our public schools.
For more than eight years, our provincial government—one that claims to support labour—has been in power, yet public education has seen little progress. Promises of new supports and resources have been ignored, leaving teachers overwhelmed and students underserved.
Despite campaign commitments to add more educational assistants and school counsellors, the BC NDP has failed to deliver. The result?
New teachers are leaving the profession, seasoned educators are retiring early, and a teacher shortage is spreading across the province (yes, even here).
There is hope. The BC government has the power to fix this. The BCTF is simply asking for the same financial considerations given to other provincial unions. If you believe it’s time for the BC NDP to invest in public education, make your voice heard—send Premier Eby a letter today:
