Teachers and support workers braved low temperatures and a cold wind last Monday to start their three day strike picketing on the triangle next to the Yellowhead Highway and the entrance to Barriere Town Road. Picketers attended the spot all three days until their return to classes on Thursday. As of press time last Friday, the B.C. Teachers’ Federation was promising not to exercise its option of a one-day strike for the first three days of this week, and the B.C. government was moving closer to activating millions of dollars in fines for strike action after that point.
