This is a labour union behaving VERY BADLY.

The union's website declares: "We represent ALL TEACHERS in the province’s publicly funded schools."

And, using that coerced association (a Canadian is forced to be represented by the union as a condition of taking a job as a teacher)...

... the union leadership SHOVES WORDS into the mouths of the membership, on an issue that has NOTHING to do with wages or sick pay or maternity leave or worksite safety...

... and has EVERYTHING and ONLY to do with controversial, partisan POLITICAL OPINIONS, no different than if the union said "We will invest our organization's energies into supporting the NDP's election campaign".

Please understand that this is a disgusting trampling of worker rights, being forced to give energy to political opinion that has NOTHING - ZERO - ZILCH to do with what brought the thousands of Canadians together in the first place (teacher jobs). Canada should fix this outrage. European countries have!
