Saskatchewan teachers to strike at legislature Monday
Global News
Teachers from Regina and Moose Jaw will be on rotating strike Monday in front of the Saskatchewan Legislature.
Some Saskatchewan teachers are taking part in a rotating strike on Monday with a strike line taking place at the Saskatchewan Legislature.
This job action coincides with the first day of the spring legislative session and will affect several school divisions in Regina and Moose Jaw.
Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation president Samantha Becotte said residents have sent more than 110,000 emails to government and school board trustees since the beginning of January.
“In the face of this overwhelming support for the actions that teachers are taking for their students and publicly funded schools, it is deeply troubling that government remains so intransigent in their position,” Becotte said.
Saskatchewan teachers want topics like classroom size and complexity to be part of contract negotiations, but the provincial government refuses, saying that is the responsibility of school divisions.
