Alberta’s teachers union says it will return to the bargaining table after teachers went on strike on Oct. 6 following a majority vote by teachers against a proposal by the province.
The Alberta Teachers’ Association (ATA) said its members were looking for more to address classroom complexity and salary needs. Union president Jason Schilling previously said that more than 5,000 new teachers were needed, along with supports for larger class sizes and pay increases to keep up with inflation.
