Why Alberta Teachers are Saying 'No Deal' and What’s Next!

This one caught our eye on Global News! Alberta's teachers have given a hard pass to the latest contract offer. Over the weekend, nearly 90% of Alberta Teachers’ Association members gave it a thumbs down. So, what’s the game plan now? Well, brace yourselves because on October 6, teachers across the province are gearing up for a strike. Jason Schilling, the ATA president, confirmed the overwhelming vote against the deal. Ok, so what does this mean for Calgarians? For starters, if you’re a parent, you might want to prep for a change in routine come October 6. Schools could be closed, which means setting up alternative childcare or activities for the kiddos. And if you’re driving, expect the usual teacher commutes to be replaced with rally signs and energy on the picket lines. Keep those cowboy hats handy, folks—just one more way Calgary’s wild west spirit will shine during this tenure tussle.
