An extra thousand teachers a year is one new teacher per 25 new students in Alberta. Offering to stop drowning and maybe start treading water isn’t the impressive offer the GovAB is making it out to be.

A junior high teacher I know says he has 38 students assigned to his grade 8 math class in Edmonton. The room can fit 32 desks. This is in a school officially designated as not full because they haven’t (yet) exceeded the fire code… it’s really not about wages.
A reminder that money does not have any value of its own, only the values we imbue it with. What we spend our money on speaks of our values. Clearly the Gov of Alberta doesn’t value education or our children.

I don't blame the Teachers for striking, so much of Society is dumped on them and they get spat at by grifters like Farage for their trouble. Do we want to end up like the United States or what?

State by State Pending and recently passed #AntiProtestLaws: #WestVirginia - part 1
HB 5091: Heightened penalties for #protesters near #pipelines and other infrastructureIncreases the penalties and broaden offenses that could cover nonviolent protesters near pipelines and other infrastructure. The law amends West Virginia’s 2020 critical infrastructure law to remove the limitation that the law’s offenses could only occur on critical infrastructure property “if completely enclosed by a fence or other physical barrier that is obviously designed to exclude intruders, or if clearly marked with a sign or signs that.. indicate that entry is forbidden.” As a result, many more infrastructure sites are covered by the 2020 law’s trespass and tampering offenses, which carry significant penalties. The law also makes convictions for second and subsequent offenses of either the trespassing or tampering offenses a felony punishable by at least 2 and up to 10 years in prison and a fine of $10,000-$15,000. The law increases the fine for a person who “vandalizes, defaces, or tampers with” equipment in a critical infrastructure facility that causes damage of more than $2,500, from $1,000-$5,000 to $3,000-$10,000. (As introduced, the bill made second convictions punishable by a minimum of 5 years and a fine of $100,000-$250,000, and increased the fine for tampering or vandalizing from $1,000-$5,000 to $25,000-$100,000.)

HB 4615: New penalties for protests near gas and oil pipelines
Heightens potential penalties for protests near oil and gas pipelines and other infrastructure. Under the law, knowingly trespassing on property containing a critical infrastructure facility is punishable by a year in jail and a $500 fine. Criminal trespass on critical infrastructure property with intent to "vandalize, deface, tamper with equipment, or impede or inhibit operations" of the facility is a felony punishable by up to three years in prison and a $1,000 fine. Actually vandalizing, defacing, or tampering with the facility--regardless of actual damage--is a felony punishable by 5 years in prison and a $2,000 fine. An individual convicted of any of the offenses, and any entity that "compensates, provides consideration to or remunerates" a person for committing the offenses, is also civilly liable for any damage sustained. An organization or person found to have "conspired" to commit any of the offenses--regardless of whether they were committed--is subject to a criminal fine. The law newly defines "critical infrastructure facility" under West Virginia law to include a range of oil, gas, electric, water, telecommunications, and railroad facilities that are fenced off or posted with signs indicating that entry is prohibited.

HB 4618: Eliminating #PoliceLiability for deaths while dispersing #riots and unlawful assemblies
Reaffirms West Virginia's problematic law on rioting, and adds the West Virginia Capitol Police to those authorities who cannot be held liable for the deaths and wounding of individuals in the course of dispersing riots and unlawful assemblies. Under prior West Virginia law, the State Police, sheriffs, and mayors had authority to use means such as curfews and warrantless searches to disperse riots and unlawful assemblies; the law reaffirms and extends this authority to the Capitol Police. According to the law, if a bystander is asked to assist in the dispersal and fails to do so, he or she "shall be deemed a rioter." The law also adds Capitol Police to existing provisions eliminating liability if anyone present, "as spectator or otherwise, be killed or wounded," while the authorities used "any means" to disperse riots or unlawful assemblies or arrest those involved. The law was passed during a statewide strike by #WestVirginiaTeachers, thousands of whom protested in February 2018 at the #StateCapitol.

According to the law, if a bystander is asked to assist in the dispersal and fails to do so, he or she "shall be deemed a rioter." The law also adds Capitol Police to existing provisions eliminating liability if anyone present, "as spectator or otherwise, be killed or wounded," while the authorities used "any means" to disperse riots or unlawful assemblies or arrest those involved. The law was passed during a statewide strike by #WestVirginiaTeachers, thousands of whom protested in February 2018 at the #StateCapitol.

The education system clearly failed Scott Moe. Fund our schools to produce better future leaders.

Right-wingers hate teachers' unions because they want teachers to be fungible units that feed students nothing but fascist propaganda and the skills necessary to be exploited labour. Just look at what they did to the curriculum in Alberta. Absolute poppycock roundly lambasted by pedagogical experts but enforced by political hack jobs who wouldn't know a classroom from a hole in their ass #TeachersStrike

Teachers are about the most egregious example of the passion tax that I can think of. They are absolutely necessary to prepare your kids to function in a modern industrialized democracy and you pay them shit, work them like dogs, and even make them pay for their own fucking school supplies. The way we treat teachers is utterly unconscionable and they still put up with because of how much they love what they do. Enough is enough #TeachersStrike

Take the 2019 LA #TeachersStrike. As #JaneMcAlevy writes in *A Collective Bargain*, the LA teachers didn't just win higher pay for their members! They also demanded (and got) an end to immigration sweeps of parents waiting for their kids at the school gate; a guarantee of green space near every public school in the city; and on-site immigration counselors in LA schools:

Portland OR general strike fund goes toward strike infrastructure—pickets, porta potties, etc—but as the strike continues, teachers at individual schools need help.
You can check with your neighborhood teachers to see what they need.
Or George Middle School is currently collecting funds for some Black educators who need help with rent. This fund has been vetted by a teacher I know personally:

Here’s a form calling for the resignation of Portland school Superintendent Guerrero. He’s been mentioned by teachers as particularly egregious and obstructive:
