Job Action Expected To Begin Today

The battle between teachers and the provincial government is now on.
Unions representing education workers say the anti-strike legislation passed Tuesday strips workers of their constitutional rights in the name of fiscal restraint.
High School teachers are being told to not take part in extracurricular activities and coaching sports teams today.
Elementary teachers are being asked to not participate in school meetings on Mondays, or any other days if they wish.
The minority Liberals argue the legislation, which passed with the support of the Progressive Conservatives, is needed to help them eliminate the province’s $15-billion deficit.
The legislation not only reins in wages, it also gives the government the power for at least two years to ban strikes and lockouts.
