About This Resource

Lesson activities to accompany the vignette "Connie Jervis” from the acclaimed Knowledge Network series; Working People: A History of Labour in British Columbia produced by Landrock Entertainment. The vignette examines the leadership of Connie Jervis as the Langley Teachers’ Association president in her struggle with the Langley School Board to gain binding arbitration to settle wage disputes with the employer. This is a unit created by the Labour History Project, a group of retired and current British Columbia teachers collaborating to develop a series of lesson plans, activities, and workshops focused on labour studies and labour history.
