As a show of "good faith"we are calling on the BCTF to immediately end job action and the BC Liberal Government to immediately end the lockout and start school on September 2nd.

For 6 long months, boththe BCTF and the BC Liberal Governmenthave espoused rhetoric about putting kids first, but both sides have let students and parents down. Here is the chance to actually "put the kids first."

Get the kids in their classrooms on time and continue the bargaining,negotiating andmediation behind closed doors.

If the kids really are what matters here, then please, in a show of "good faith" end the job action and lockout immediately.
