Alberta teacher says union shut out members

Alberta’s province-wide teacher strike has now kept more than 700,000 students out of class. The Alberta Teachers’ Association rejected a 12 to 17 per cent pay raise over four years — a deal Premier Danielle Smith says would have made Alberta’s teachers the best paid in Western Canada. The offer also included funding for 3,000 new teachers, 1,500 education assistants and 130 new schools.

Instead, the Alberta Teachers’ Association came back demanding $2 billion more, even as the province faces an $80-billion debt and a $6.5-billion deficit. Smith has warned the strike is causing “irreparable harm” to students, especially those preparing for diploma exams.

Kris Sims speaks with an Edmonton high-school English teacher who says union leadership rejected the government’s back-to-work proposal without consulting members. She says teachers could have returned to class while negotiations continued, but the union said no. After fifteen years in the classroom, she’s now without pay while half her students fall behind.
