and i do believe the board is treating us poorly butl want to see an end to the anxiety arid pressure in our school it is like nothing ive seen before hope the vote will put an end to it he said lang knows he is in the minority but says he cannot bring himself to strike he also knows crossing the picket line will mean tougher sanc tions by the union philosophically as a teacher i cant walk a picket line he said on the other hand more has been solidly behind the unions decision to turn down the boards offer frorrfthe beginning throughout the entire process the resolve of teachers has strengthened said more s what is coming to a head here is five to six years of professional emo tional and intellectual abuse by the board we feel discredited and demeaned said more during the last

lot from teachers who were ambivalent before and are now 100 per centbehind the union should the votebe rejected the next step would be for the two sides to get back to the bargaining table but with no help from the ministry of labour wed just have to keep at it our indication from the province is this is our problem said jamieson the boards public affairs officer what we are seeing with the work-to- rule said jarhieson but it is absolutely erroneous to say we would automatically goto a lockout but if there are any safety concerns where strikes are occurring now jamiesori said the board will close schools the recent escalation of work-to- rule action implerriented by the union has placed stringent limitations on what teachers can do while at school it dictates that all teachers
