As our most beloved teachers take a very important stand against government, it will be with a very heavy heart that I, as a member of CUPE, go to work instead of standing with them and in support of them. The blame for this job action lies with government itself.
BCTF informed CUPE that all CUPE members are not to be affected by BCTF's decision to take this stand.
Yet, as support staff, every poor decision made by government does affect me. BCTF's decision not to impede my work day shows selflessness on their part - something I believe government should sit up and take full notice of.
In closing, I would like to thank every teacher in this province for their dedication to our children and their continued commitment to the improvement of education for all. Please know that you are truly valued and respected.
In strong support,
Gail Ware
TA3 School District 57
