Hey #BlueskyAlberta!
#Daniellesmith wants AB to think teachers are just in this for themselves.
This isn’t greed.
We NEED smaller class sizes! We NEED a commitment to properly funded education in our province going forward.
They can’t keep blaming teachers.

The Sobeys/Safeway Balzac warehouse union has been locked out since September 18th after rejecting the first offer during negotiations. Apparently not many people know about this.
