BC Friends: Whether you are pro-union or anti-union, love or hate the Liberals, had good teachers or bad ones ... please dont ignore the huge (il)legal subtext that is lending near-impossible complexity to the current education negotiations. Check out this analysis from former crown prosecutor Sandy Garossino. One excerpt: All anybody has to do is pick up that [previous court] ruling [currently on appeal] … and go through it … chapter and verse, the examples of Bad Faith … it’s not just the confidential materials that have not been released to the public … it’s not just the claim of goading [the BCTF] into a strike over and over and over again … [the judge] goes through a litany of examples of where the government really never intended to negotiate in good faith with the union at all … it’s very hard to get past that ruling … and it casts a very different light in my view on the nature of the negotiations that are going on now and I think the credibility of the government is certainly in question here. globalnews.ca/video/1554649/former-crown-prosecutors-legal-perspective-on-e-80/
