A few teachers recently refused to work in British Columbia public schools because they said the prevalence of H1N1 illness among students had created an unsafe workplace.

The first reports were filed late last month by pregnant teachers in Victoria who walked away from their classrooms. Another report was filed this month by a Prince George teacher.

By law, employees have a right to refuse work if there is a reasonable cause to believe it poses a health or safety hazard
