Ready's path out of the wilderness

The final stage of the illegal BC teachers strike may play itself out today, Vince Ready offered up his non binding recommendations last evening, and all the major players will offer their opinions today.

Subtle (then again maybe not so subtle) hints from Jim Sinclair at the BC Fed to the teachers that this could be the deal, gave most observers the belief that the two week walkout could be done by the end of the day.

With a court date with Justice Brenda Brown scheduled for later today and a promised vote on the Ready recommendations scheduled for this afternoon, it will prove to be pivotal day for Jinny Sims and the BCTF.

Ready has once again cobbled together a compromise that both sides should be able to live with, there is a path out of this mess for both the teachers and the government in Ready's words. One would think that they would take his report and put it to work, sending the students of BC back to the books.
