Alberta’s teachers union has filed a legal challenge to the provincial government’s back-to-work legislation that brought a three-week teachers strike to an end.
The teachers strike started on Oct. 6 after talks broke down between the Alberta Teachers’ Association (ATA) and the Teachers’ Employer Bargaining Association (TEBA), which bargains on behalf of school boards. Teachers said they were looking for a salary increase, and wanted the province to address “classroom complexity” issues.
