British Columbia teachers have voted 91\% in favour of withdrawing services, beginning today ( October 7). This is in response to Bill 12 which, if passed, imposes a contract with neither pay raises nor caps on class sizes. It has passed third reading today and is expected to recieve royal assent later today. B.C. teachers have had four such imposed contracts since 1993, spanning two different provincial governments. The B.C. Legislature has been meeting around the clock to try and get the motion through. The situation could escalate quickly such as what occured in the HEU strike. A general strike is not out of the question. Many unions have noted that they would stand-behined the BCTF.
