Job action has been announced for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday this week, with some school divisions taking part in rotating strikes, withdrawing noon-hour supervision or pulling extracurricular activities.

Saskatchewan teachers want topics like classroom size and complexity to be part of contract negotiations, but the provincial government refuses, saying that is the responsibility of school divisions.
