Re: Strike hurting no one but kids (Our View, March 7)
The B.C. Teachers’ Federation should hardly be surprised by the action of the government; the road over the last few years is littered with disrespect and intolerance toward unions.
However, I do not agree with the 16 per cent wage increase asked by the teachers’ union. They receive excellent salaries, and rosy benefits.
Teachers work hard, but so do most people. The economy is such that many employees have had their wages frozen, and indeed consider themselves lucky to still have a job.
