Alberta’s government says it will consider pursuing back-to-work legislation if the Alberta teachers’ strike continues without resolution.
Finance Minister Nate Horner made the remarks Oct. 15 during a radio interview, saying a significant gap still exists between what the province is willing to fund and what teachers are demanding. He said Alberta is likely to introduce back-to-work legislation once the provincial legislature reconvenes later this month if the strike isn’t resolved by then.
