Public school teachers across B.C. are voting today on taking strike/job action.

The vote is taking place around the province for three days with results being announced by The B.C. Teachers’ Federation Thursday around 9:30 PM.

“Our members are going to be voting in support of a strike, in support of the bargaining team, and to achieve a negotiated deal at the bargaining table that represents a fair deal for teachers that includes better supports for students,” said BCTF president Jim Iker.

Iker estimates about 41,000 teachers are eligible to take the strike vote. If it passes, teachers will have 90 days to take job action.

Last week, Iker insisted any initial job action will not include school closures or disruptions, interruptions to extra curricular activities, or disruptions to parent-teacher communications.
