Donning placards and wearing the anti-bullying colour of pink, 91原创 teachers lined both sides of 200 Street on Wednesday morning.

The sea of teachers could be seen from Fraser Highway, all the way to the top of the pedestrian overpass located north of 65 Avenue.

Teachers are wearing pink to emphasize the bullying tactics they feel the government has taken in this labour dispute.

The majority of the protest was getting support by drivers, many honking and giving the teachers the thumb鈥檚 up.

鈥淲e鈥檝e had a few fingers but much more support,鈥� said one teacher.

A home economic teacher, who has taught for 30 years in the 91原创 school district, said she has never seen the government treat teachers this badly. The more than 1,000 teachers who lined 200 Street headed to a rally held at the 91原创 Events Centre. Susan Lambert, the president of the B.C. Teachers Federation was expected to speak, along with Barry O鈥橬eil, the president of the B.C. Federation of Labour.

91原创 teachers said they will be back at work on Thursday, despite some speculation they might illegally strike. Wednesday marked the third day teachers walked off the job. 91原创 schools go on spring break next week.

Teachers will be laying more than 200 pink wreaths at the door of MLA Rich Coleman鈥檚 office. The wreaths are meant to symbolize the death of public education should the government鈥檚 Bill 22 pass, said 91原创 Teachers Association president Gail Chaddock-Costello.
