APPROXIMATELY 3,000 SASK. TEACHERS TAKING PART IN FIRST ROTATING STRIKE

Around 3,000 of the province’s teachers will be involved in Thursday’s job action, the first of what the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation (STF) said would be rotating strikes as they remain at odds with the government on a new contract.

According to the STF, classes will be affected for approximately 35,000 students Thursday.

Teachers hitting the picket lines Thursday will be from Horizon School Division, Prairie South School Division, Prince Albert Catholic, Light of Christ Catholic, Living Sky as well as Sakewew High School in North Battleford.
