I sure do appreciate all of the support and thank-you Big Mick for offering to play a tune for us. Yes Mick you are right, "Sometimes the law doesn't serve the people. At these times people of conscience and dedication must choose to ignore the law no matter the cost." Or as Jenny Sims (Pres. of BCTF) says, "There's a great deal of difference between breaking the law and a law designed to break you."

I have made up my mind that if we are asked to vote on returning to classes with a pay raise and promises, I will vote NO.

I know that the only solution is to repeal Bill 12 and reward all of the workers for the support they have given to us. At this point, an end to the strike should benefit everyone. I'm ready for the long haul.

If nothing else, we have shown students what solidarity is all about. We have also gained alot of respect. I'm actually hoping for a general strike. I think it will be less painful than dragging it out any longer.
