At today's lunchtime meeting we decided first to form two subcommittees. One will focus on communication and shared decision making with SFU administration on strike impacts. The other will focus on solidarity actions with BCTF teachers and communication in support of public education.
The following report is from the Solidarity Actions Subcommittee:
We decided to call a "Solidarity Day of Action" to encourage student teachers to join BCTF teachers in solidarity on the picket lines. Working with the TA student union (TSSU), we will organize a day of action on Friday Sept 12.
Meet at 10 AM on
Friday Sept 12 in the atrium by Renaissance Coffee (just outside of the
Education Building). We will make signs and then march to a nearby
public school to join the picket line.
The Solidarity Actions Subcommittee with produce a "Solidarity Guide" to help student teachers navigate solidarity action that respects our role as future professionals (who are not members of the BCTF as student teachers) and the role of the BCTF and teachers.
