What is the government waiting for? It is time to legislate an end to the teachers' strike.

In their greed, the BC Teachers' Federation is holding our students hostage in a shameless effort to get better pay.

Why should the union compromise when teachers are being paid a full salary for doing less than half their job?

The BCTF is making unreasonable demands on a cash-strapped government. The world economy is in a tailspin, government revenue has cratered, people are losing their jobs in the private sector, and these guys want a 15percent wage increase.

Get real. Are the teachers smoking funny cigarettes or what?
