Resolution 118.  (Likely Not-Support)

That the BCTF put a motion to the BCFED and the CLC to organize a 30-minute walk out of all workers for the next possible global climate strike.

​

I may be willing to walk out; however, we are currently navigating our own members aren't enthusiastic to consider loss of pay as a result of a strike to improve our bargaining.  I don't think our members would appreciate us voting for them to walk out and face possible discipline.

​

If our own members are not likely to support a 30 minute walk out, we can't ask two other organizations to encourage other workers to walk out.

​

My eyes are wide open to climate issues, but my sense is if this went to a membership vote, it would get less than 50% in favour.  (This is my perception prior to hearing the debate at the microphones.)
