SASKATCHEWAN TEACHERS REJECT WAGE DEAL, DEMAND MORE ACTION ON HELP FOR CLASSROOMS

Posted on
REGINA — The head of Saskatchewan’s teachers union says an overwhelming ‘no’ vote on the province’s latest contract offer shows members want more than paper promises.

Samantha Becotte said Friday Premier Scott Moe’s government must demonstrate concrete action on issues of classroom sizes and supports for students with additional learning needs.

She said the Saskatchewan Party government also needs to ensure teachers receive more pay to help schools recruit and retain educators.
