Teachers across the province voted 87 per cent in favour of escalating job action.
According to the BCTF, 32,209 ballots were cast with 27,946 voting in favour of harsher opposition to government back-to-work legislation.
BCTF Executive Committee members will meet today to review the vote results and discuss the next steps in the job action.
"Teachers are determined and united in their opposition to Bill 22 and to the bullying tactics of a provincial government that has deliberately underfunded public education for a decade," said Susan Lambert, president of the BC Teachers' Federation.
