For our full statement on the memorandum of agreement vote results, please visit abteach.cc/StrikeImminent

Teacher strike imminent

Alberta's public education teachers have rejected the memorandum of agreement by 89.5 per cent. Teachers will go on strike on October 6. The overwhelming rejection of the tentative agreement highlights the gap between teachers' lived realities in the classroom and the government's perception of public education in Alberta.
