|

|
|
 |
Members of nearly all unions affiliated to the BC Federation of Labour turned out by the thousands
on October 11 at 18 simultaneous rallies held around the province in support
of teachers. In Vancouver close to 4000 filled the plaza outside the government offices at the Trade and Convention centre (see webcast below). |
|
Support also came from members of the community outside the labour movement, including seniors, students, parents and other community groups. "The BC Liberals are trying desperately to turn public support for the teachers ," said B.C. Federation of Labour President Jim Sinclair. "They're already claiming that Solidarity is beginning to weaken -- Nothing could be further from the truth." |
