Alberta teachers to vote on tentative deal as strike date nears: government

The deal includes a $10 million investment to support teachers and students, $8.6 billion for school infrastructure, and plans to hire 3,000 additional teachers, officials said.

  • On Wednesday, Finance Minister Nate Horner said Alberta reached a tentative deal with teachers after the Alberta Teachers' Association offered terms to the Teachers' Employer Bargaining Association last Friday.
  • Negotiations stalled when the Alberta government and ATA disagreed over salary and classroom investments, despite the province's offer of hiring 3,000 additional teachers.
  • The government says the deal includes $8.6 billion for over 130 schools and $10 million to support teachers and students, with Nate Horner calling it a "positive path forward."
  • Members must ratify the deal, voting from Saturday until Monday, and Finance Minister Nate Horner says the 51,000 ATA members threatened to walk out on Oct. 6.
  • The ATA says the tentative agreement addresses salary and classroom complexity issues, and ATA members voted 95 per cent in favour of striking in June less than two weeks before Oct. 6.
