As expected, picket lines are up at schools around the Province as support workers begin a work to rule campaign.
Gabriella Gomez is walking the line in front of Harbourview High School and tells CHSJ News, this is a peaceful action trying to get the word out about their low pay scale and lack of pension benefits.
About three-thousand school support workers are locked in a contract dispute with the provincial government.
The union includes teaching assistants and is raising concern about what effect the job action will have on special needs students.
