Prince George, B.C.- Instructors at the College of New Caledonia are planning a rally for Wednesday to air some of their concerns about layoffs and program cuts.
Members of the Faculty voted unanimously on March 1st to allow their negotiating team to take a strike vote whenever it deems necessary. Colleagues at Langara College, Vancouver Island University, and Vancouver Community College have already taken strike votes.
The instructors accuse the college and the current provincial government of increasing administrative salaries and decreasing access for students.
The rally is set for noon at the CNC main campus atrium.

It is the same all over B.C.,even in the Yukon.
Those at the bottom are being laid off,hours cut,courses cancelled or no longer offered, and tuition fees are going up.
It has been a long time since there was a new contract.
This could get very ugly, but those at the bottom are not to blame.
