The last contracts barely went over the inflation rate over the term and didn't even make up the difference of inflation that had been lost over the previous 20 YEARS.
ie. It didn't even touch the cost of living since the pandemic.
And now the BC Government thinks it's going to go back to lower-than-inflation raises with 0.5% and 1%?
Not gonna fly. More people than ever are living paycheque to paycheque.

Today, the full-moon day of the fourth month ("aashaada") of the #Hindu luni-solar calendar, is "guru poornimaa" in #India and elsewhere.
In #Sanskrit, "guru" is teacher; "poornimaa" is full moon (literally "state of fullness"). The day honors teachers. So, as they say, "shree gurubhyoh namah", or "salutation to the teacher". 🙏
#Trivia: This year's "guru poornimaa" falls on Thursday ("guru waasara"), the weekly day of teachers. There's more to the weekday name "guru waasara", but that's for a rainy day. 🌈

As a parent, this resonates.
