Bradley's junior kindergarten classes would be pre-empted by a teachers strike. Some sympathy from parqents A possible teachers' strike on Monday is already putting parents in a tough spot. Others are hoping the strike presents a bit of a wind- faîl. Six people had phoned The Champion as of press time yesterday to place classified advertisements pro- viding daycare. Despite potential difficulties, a small group of par- ents interviewed outside Holy Rosary Scbool Wednesday showed support for teachers, even though the parents will be caught in the middle. Working mother Shelly VanEmpel said she "can see what's behind" the protest, but doesn't know wbo will look afler ber two chilIdren, aged 8 and 10 years, in the event of a walkout. A grandmother who minds ber daughter's children daily said she doubts the stoike will happen. "I don't think they will really do that," said Mary Blair of Riverplace Crescent. "They might1 strike for one day, but t can't see it lasting. I used 10 be a teacher myself and they don't do that." Gwen Holroyd, a stay-at- home-mother of Martin Street, said "the issues are important" so she supports the teachers' political action. For mother Tracey ShelIy VanEmpel Brommersma, a strike would interfere with ber job search. The unemployed woman said she would he home 10 look aller ber child, but applying for work or arrang- ing job interviews would be difficult.
