The largest teacher strike in Alberta’s history began today as 51,000 educators walked off the job amid a months-long contract dispute with the province.
The Alberta Teachers’ Association (ATA) was unable to reach a deal with the province at the bargaining table last week, leading to cancelled classes at roughly 2,500 public, Catholic, and francophone schools.
