The BC Teachers Federation hopes the Labour Relations Board can resolve teachers' concerns about COVID-related health and safety issues in schools.
The BCTF has filed a submission with the board asking it to propose solutions to what the union says are ``inadequate and inconsistent'' policies aimed at slowing the spread of the new coronavirus.
Documents show the BCTF is seeking an ``expedited'' decision because union members feel ``pressured'' to work in unsafe situations and there's potential for job action by some teachers.
Education Minister Rob Fleming says ``this is only week one'' and tweaks to plans are expected, but he says his ministry has listened to concerns from teachers, parents and others in moving to re-open schools and keep students safe.
