Yesterday's B.C. Court of Appeal ruling against the B.C. Teachers' Federation was a disappointment to teachers and parents across the province. Many hoped that the court would uphold the trial judge's ruling that the actions of the B.C. government were bargaining in bad faith, and therefore unconstitutional, and therefore must be undone.

Little things make a big difference.

Look, expecting intelligent content from an Adam Sandler movie is like expecting an honest statement from Vanilla Ice about where he’s from. Pointless. He makes stupid sh!t. Absolutely, the content of the movie The Ridiculous Six is stupid but so is the content of Happy Gilmore(one of my favorite movies),Blended(including a minstrel show African safari with Terry Crews as head coon),Billy Madison(complete with a huge penguin) and literally every single other Adam Sandler movie ever made.

He makes idiotic and sometimes racist content. We get it.

The National Petroleum Council includes top executives from Exxon Mobil, Shell and BP America. It has an annual budget of $4.5 million collected from members, and pays its executive director $750,000 in salary and benefits. And it regularly “makes recommendations” to the U.S. Secretary of Energy — as in its recent report “Arctic Potential: Realizing the Promise of U.S. Arctic Oil and Gas Resources,” which advocates changes to regulations that “are limiting Arctic exploration activity.”

From Minimum Wage to a Fair Wage

This round table brings together some of the leading North American activists and scholars concerned with the situation of minimum/low wage work. It is widely known that current minimum wage legislation is grossly inadequate in raising low wage workers income out of poverty. It is from this context that a cross-national campaign has emerged to demand a living/fair wage standard be enacted and enforced. This grassroots struggle has gained considerable traction with some notable successes. However, the fight for wage fairness is a difficult one and progress has been uneven. The panelists provide an assessment of the struggles outlining its importance and future possibilities.
