No Strike Pay for BC Teachers
The BC Supreme Court, in an October 9th, 2005, hearing found the BC Teachers Federation in contempt of an October 6, 2005, BC Labour Board order, which required the BCTF to cease its job action. The Court held the matter over to October 13, 2005, for the purpose of determining the appropriate sanction and the BCTF’s ability to pay a penalty. The order issued on the 13th enjoins the BCTF (and related entities) from using its assets to pay the teachers in relation to activities that are in breach of the Labour Board order for a period of 30 days.
