Teachers have given notice of one-day job action across the province for Wednesday, according to a release sent by the Saskatchewan Teacher’s Federation (STF) on Sunday.
“Beginning with a one-day withdrawal of these services is not something that we take lightly. Government needs to recognize the magnitude of the situation they have caused and continue to contribute to, get serious, and return to the table ready to bargain on the real issues impacting Saskatchewan students,” said STF President Samantha Becotte.
The job action includes rotating strikes, withdrawal of noon-hour supervision and withdrawal of extracurricular activities.
STF had already announced job action for Monday and Tuesday and is now including Wednesday.
This will affect the following schools:
- Christ the Teacher Teachers’ Association – All schools in Christ the Teacher Catholic
School Division - Île à la Crosse Teachers’ Association – All schools in Île à la Crosse School Division
- Prairie Valley Teachers’ Association – All schools in Prairie Valley School Division
- Regina Public Schools Teachers’ Association – All schools in Regina Public Schools
- Sun West Teachers’ Association – All schools in Sun West School Division
- Île à la Crosse Teachers’ Association – All schools in Île à la Crosse School Division
- Prairie Valley Teachers’ Association – All schools in Prairie Valley School Division
- Good Spirit Teachers’ Association – All schools in Good Spirit School Division
- Saskatchewan Distance Learning Centre – All Sask DLC campuses
- Tri-West Teachers’ Association – All schools in Living Sky School Division and Light of Christ Catholic School Division and Sakewew High School (North Battleford)
STF invites parents and caregivers to join a virtual information night via Zoom on Monday at 7 p.m., during which Becotte will discuss the status of contract negotiations and teacher job action. Space is available for up to 5,000 participants and people can register on the STF website.
