US Edition‘Love my job’: Alberta teachers look to make ends meet in provincewide strike
About 51,000 teachers and support staff joined the largest provincial strike in Alberta’s history over rejected wage offers and working condition disputes, affecting 740,000 students.
- A provincewide teachers’ strike entered its second day across Alberta on Tuesday, affecting more than 740,000 students at 2,500 schools.
- The strike began after extended disputes over salaries and classroom conditions between Alberta’s teachers’ union and the provincial government, with teachers having turned down the latest offer from the government.
- Many of the approximately 51,000 striking teachers are seeking ways to manage financially without regular income, turning to alternative jobs or relying on limited savings.
- Union president Jason Schilling stated that while members will not get strike pay during the labour action, their health insurance will remain in effect throughout the dispute.
- The scale of this walkout reportedly makes it the largest in Alberta's history, and no immediate resolution appears likely.
