Has anyone been following this? The government has been lying to the teachers about wages and imposing contracts on them. When the teachers go on strike, they are told that striking is illegal because teaching has been declared and "essential service". The general public is looking down on the teachers because the teachers are "breaking the law", but the problem is that it violates international law to make anything that doesn't risk the life of others an essential service, but the news doesn't even want to dare say that the Canadian government is breaking the law. What are you guys's thoughts on this? | |||

What I think would do the trick is a province wide student walk-out when the teachers come back to work. | |||

Accomplishing what? It worked in Quebec, because the students TUITION fees fuelled the universities and made the government go "OH SHIT". Post-secondary. Not high school. |

If the teachers have no one to teach, no one can blame them for not teaching. | |||

It's not legal. That's your main problem. (as far as I know) You have to go to school. Although I doubt they could punish all the students, it wouldn't do much. Plus, it just doesn't seem like something that everyone would do. I'm sure some students would love to skip out on a day of classes, but not everyone. It just wouldn't work. |

How much do teachers get paid in Canada? They get squat in the U.S. | |||

Originally posted by geeogree It's not legal... according to THE PEOPLE YOU'RE ACTUALLY PROTESTING AGAINST. And that "essential service" bollocks sounds like a pretty clear case of abuse of power by teh gubermint, in which case what teh gubermint says on this matter is rendered pretty moot. A massive student walkout would basically be civil disobedience in support of the teachers. |
