COMMENTS FROM THE LINE ...
I don't know of anyone at our school that is ready to back down. They're not in it for the strike pay!!!
WHAT TEACHERS ARE TELLING US ...
Why we're staying strong ...
- Teachers have the utmost respect for the courts and the judiciary
- Teachers are protesting an unjust law- We understood that there would be consequences and we are prepared to accept them
Teachers have tried many other routes. We have written letters, collected petitions, brought issues to the public's attention, brought the issues to the bargaining table, spoken out on behalf of our students in the face of many attempts to silence us, made presentations, talked to our employers, and on and on.
- When teachers win a right in court this government has passed legislation to overrule the court's decisions. When the ILO rules against this government it ignores the ruling.
-Teacher's have not taken action lightly but we cannot abandon our students, our bargaining rights or the public education system.
- Teachers are absolutely committed to securing improvements in our students' learning conditions and to defending our bargaining rights.
- Teachers continue to call on the government to meet with teachers and resolve this situation. The government created this crisis; the government needs to resolve it.
- Teachers have said all along that legislation aimed at teachers will not solve a single problem facing students in our classrooms today. We simply cannot understand why this government is still refusing to come to a table and work with teachers on solutions.
PICKETTING ZONES
Please remember that pickets must only be set up outside and/or along the employers' property (schools/worksites). If we picket beyond the boundaries of the worksite, we are creating an extended picket line in front of other businesses and homes that other unions and supportive public members will not cross. If you need to leave the worksite boundary, remove your picket sign during that excursion.
STUDENT WORK
Teachers are reminded to not provide students with assignments, etc. in person or via e-mail during job action. Students can be encouraged to work on their own studies at this time.
FINANCIAL HARDSHIP
Remember that if you are going to be unable to meet your financial obligations to creditors, you should speak directly to your creditors as soon as possible. We have heard that institutions such as Coast Capital and Royal Bank are being VERY helpful to our members. If you require further assistance, please call the RTA Office.
What do you do when the Law breaks the law?
A message from University Employees at UVIC&Royal Roads (CUPE locals 4163, 917 3886)
Why arе we protesting?
This protest is not about wages and benefits, but about honouring contracts and respecting the process of free collective bargaining.
The BC Teachers' job action is partly a result of a long list of injustices by the BC Government, such as ripping up legal contracts (Bill 29), stripping University workers of the right to strike (Bill 21). disregarding BC Supreme Court & Labour Board rulings (e.g., 2005 BCAA 399, and Bill 28), and not heeding a ruling by the United Nations.
The Law is breaking the law
The job action by BC Teachers is consistent with Supreme Court rulings on the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, with a non-binding United Nations International Labor Organization ruling, and with long standing labour law principles that have governed in BC for over 50 years. In contrast. Bill 12 -- the Campbell government's law making the teachers' job action illegal -- has only existed since 4pm Friday Oct 7.
Two years ago, the BC Liberals imposed legislation that ripped up legal contracts. Last year, when the BC Supreme Court ruled against the BC Government on other matters. they simply changed the laws to suit themselves. They did this despite warnings from Supreme Court Justice D.W. Shaw that thei r acti ons contai ned "fu ndamental" errors on "points of law that are of importance to the education system of British Columbia, including the teachers, the school boards and the students."
Today, the BC Government is doing it again. Bill 12 is an ad hoc law that contradicts past Supreme Court rulings, long standing legal principles, and the United Nations. In short, Campbell's law breaks higher federal laws, and contradicts time-tested labour law principles and international standards.
Why are these events historic?
At one time there were no "collective agreements." Workers resolved problems by "downing tools" & walking out. This led to industrial chaos and large scale strikes during the 1930's & 1940's. Later. a
"compromise" was made in the post-war period, requiring unions & employers to freely negotiate and then respect legally binding contracts (PC 1003). The result was relative labour peace.
Recent legislation, however, has put both contracts and free collective bargaining at risk, thereby threatening the very basis upon which labour peace is founded. All unions are threatened. As Martin Luther King said: "An injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
Why Civil Disobedience?
The "social contract" between a Government and its citizens is essential for nurturing a stable society, because it ensures the social rights of citizens. A Government agrees to respect the rights of citizens, and citizens in turn agree to respect the laws and submit to the power of Government. However, once a Government unilaterally violates rights, all bets are off -- and Civil Disobedience is the result.
Part of Civil Disobedience is “disobedience”, or breaking the law. When a law is unjust, or when it contradicts higher laws & principles, citizens will use Civil Disobedience to fight the unjust law. Linda Coyle, President of The Charter for Public Education Network said: "...there is a big difference between breaking the law and having a law created to break you."
After revoking legal contracts, ignoring Labour Board & BC Supreme Court rulings & disregarding United Nations decisions, the BC Government has lost all legal credibility. If undermining the judicial process does not destroy democracy, then surely the inaction of British Columbians will. The members of UVIC's CUPE locals cannot to allow this attack on 42,000 teachers to pass in appalling silence.
