not that this matters to most people in the world, hell it doesn't even matter to most people it directly effects. for those of you who are inclined to still be reading, in this day of tweets and facebook, the teachers in BC are on job action to push for negotiating a better contract. the BC government is trying to introduce Bill 22 which would make certain things non-negotiating points. things such as class size, wage increases, and special needs helpers. so essentially the government is saying that things like work conditions, needs and wages will be dictated by the government and those working in this industry will have to just accept it. i thought slavery was abolished ages ago? this ironically, comes after the BC government brought in a minimum wage increase that will reach $10.50/hr this May (my recollection on the exact wage and date may be slightly fuzzy, but it's close enough for this case) so essentially with this new Bill 22 what the BC government is saying is "everybody in BC gets a raise, except for all you teachers. you don't deserve one." does that make sense to anybody?
