As the heat gets turned on both sides in the ongoing teachers strike, especially the government side which has shown little leadership in resolving the strike, there was some movement on both sides as  the B.C. Teachers’ Federation on Friday called on the Christy Clark government to agree to binding arbitration to end the strike after Premier Clark lifted the lockout against the striking teachers after coming under criticism for her comments. “Today, in an effort to find a fair settlement for all parties involved, open schools, and get children and teachers back into classrooms, the BCTF has called for binding arbitration. If the BC Public School Employers’ Association agrees to binding arbitration, the BCTF would quickly put the vote to teachers to end the strike,” the BCTF said in a press release. See story on page 3.
