To the members of the BCTF,

We, the members of the Teaching Staff Support Union (TSSU) at Simon Fraser University, stand in solidarity with the teachers of British Columbia.

As fellow education workers in this province we join you in the struggle for a vibrant public education system and for fair working conditions for its workers. One year ago, our members also engaged in job action as an act of resistance against underfunding and undervaluing of our work as teachers.

The ongoing conduct of the provincical government in underfunding public education, denying workers the right to negotiate, and refusing to negotiate in good faith is unacceptable.

We appreciate the difficult decision you have made in standing up for students and for a fair deal, and we support you.

In Solidarity,

Melissa Roth
TSSU Organizer
On behalf of the TSSU General Membership
