Saskatchewan teachers are planning to hold a provincewide strike for one day next week.
The Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation (STF) announced Thursday that it was starting a five-day countdown to a one-day strike on Tuesday, Jan. 16.
STF said teachers will cancel the strike if the government will come to the table to bargain on the issue of class sizes.
“We do not want to take this action. We can avoid taking this action,” STF president Samantha Becotte said in a news conference Thursday. “At any time, if government is willing to discuss longer-term commitments to address class complexity, teachers will return to the table.”
