Not so normal first day of classes

Its a different scene outside Prince George schools today on the first day of classes. Instead of students inside the classroom, teachers are outside on the picket lines. Duchess Park Teacher Pat Abra says no one wanted to be here.

“We were hoping for the past two months, cause they had two months, to actually settle this,” says Abra, “that the two sides would actually sit down and take it seriously but we’ve seen that the other side really isn’t serious, they have no intention on settling this.”

Abra says it has been a struggle for teachers not getting paid during the strike, having to rely on goodwill from banks and taking out second jobs. He says his best advice to parents and students is to contact their MLA’s.
