While students get to hit the snooze button a few more times tomorrow, teachers around the province are hitting the pavement for an hour or so in their first strike action protesting the lack of a contract. After a Quebec Superior Court judge sided with the unions that school boards and service centres had no business seeking a permanent injunction in court against the strike, teachersâ unions announced an action consisting of only beginning to teach at 9:31 Wednesday morning. Teachers have been without a contract for more than a year, and are angry about the state of negotiations, as unions drop their demands for smaller class sizes in the face of Quebecâs refusal to address it, and instead focus on reduced workloads and wages. The governmentâs latest wage offer is a 5% hike over three years with premiums in years one and two, and a boost of up to 1% if inflation surpasses 5%. Teachers are asking for 6% over three years.
