The BCTF stands in solidarity with our colleagues in Alberta. Here in BC, we know how heavy-handed legislation against teachers and collective bargaining rights hurts schools, students, and everyone who works in public education. The Alberta government should negotiate, not legislate! ✊ #ABteachers
