We Will Not Be Broken! Despite government threats, thousands walked off the job in support of striking teachers on Monday. Businesses were up in arms at the refusal of BC workers to adhere to the law. "People must obey the law", Jerry Lampert from the Business Council of British Columbia warned, "or we are on the short or long road to anarchy in this province, and we just can't afford that". Lampert's comments, cited by speakers at the rally, provoked the laughter of thousands of striking teachers and their supporters. When faced with the gross disavowal of worker's rights, thousands have shown that the law is illegitimate not the strike.

Jump To Comment: 1I do NOT support what the teacher's of West Virginia are doing and here is why...we live in one of the poorest states in the country and yet they expect to get paid like WV is in the top ten. I know for a fact that the students are NOT getting the education they should be getting. I have my children in private school becuase of this. I want the teacher's of WV to look at the hours they work a year and compare them to other careers. The teachers get holidays, Christmas vacation, snow days, spring vacation, summer break, not to mention they now have breaks in their school days for planning time, and let us not forget their instructional support days. So, how many days out of the year DO they work for they pay they receive? If a teacher is making 35K -40K then I think this is MORE than fair.
