Recently the head of the BCTF called on members and supporters to unseat the current government. Essentially because the government of the day hasn't succumbed to the demands of the BCTF. Never mind that the BCTF hasn't negotiated a contract for 20 years, that spans governments left and right of centre.The colour of the party makes no difference. This 'Federation' cannot negotiate with anyone. They aren't interested in negotiating, they are only interested in getting what they want. Getting what they want for TEACHERS not the students. The TEACHERS are their members and it is them and only them they fight for.
No you say, its all about the kids. That 15% pay raise - about the kids, the efforts to avoid any efforts that evaluate teachers - about the kids, calls to get a new government - obviously about the kids. What a fucking joke! This union acts like a petulant child. If they don't get what they want then they will hold their breath until they get it. If that doesn't work kick up a fuss until your parents are so embarrassed of you that they give in.
The BCTF is simply and profoundly RIDICULOUS.
