The UCP attack on teachers gets worse, as more details emerge.
Two things heard today:
1. Schools have been told to take teacher attendance and report it to the government every single day.
(Smith is MIA, but that’s different)
2. Teachers are only paid for about 200 contracted days per year (1/3)

Basically 20 work days for 10 months. Money earned is paid out over 12 months, so e.g. in September, they may have earned $10k but they are only paid $8.4K and the balance is paid during the summer. During the strike, the UCP deducted from their October paycheques …. (2/3)

… not what teachers are GIVEN for working 16 of 20 days (about $6700) but what they EARN (about $8000). So for striking for 16 of 260 weekdays (6.1%) they lose 16/200 (8%) of annual gross salary.
Put it another way, they worked 20% of the month but will receive essentially no pay for October. (3/3)

Alberta laughs grimly.

That was fast and recent. This was confirmed as of last week. I won’t give any credit tho bc it was moronic to begin with. And you shouldn’t have to book at all. Access should be made as easy as possible. But the goal is to reduce vaccination so…kudos

Crowds of inspiring students gathering outside #ableg protesting Alberta government attack on teachers. Size of crowd continues to grow. #ata #red4ed

And don’t forget to book your shot by December this year or you’ll get nothing next year.

No, the repugs got you here. And moronic voters such as yourself who are too daft and self absorbed to see the difference between a pseudo Nazi and greedy and amoral but law abiding party. Do not be confused- you too have blood on your hands.

They are. But keep sitting on yours bud, that will get you change. Hoser.

They both suck but one works within the law and one is a fascist dictatorship stripping your country or democracy and its citizens of rights. One you can work within the system to change, the other will kidnap you in your sleep to the gulag. But you do you boo.

I’ll never understand this hate for people different from you. In my job every person is unique and different and it’s my favourite part of what I do. I go to the mall and just watch the diversity. It makes me smile. Very person being their unique glorious self.

European media closely follow Alberta’s separatist chatter. This has negative impact on investment confidence and it compromises Canada’s geopolitical standing.

Separatism only serves foreign interests.

Anyone in Canada who thinks using the the notwithstanding clause doesn’t affect them doesn’t understand where labour rights come from and why I talked to my son about 1919

Nicolaides Must Resign Enough is enough, it’s time for Education Minister Nicolaides to resign.

Demetrios Nicolaides stood by while the UCP silenced teachers. Now he’s forcing them back to overcrowded classrooms with no support, no solutions, and no respect.

He’s failed teachers, students, and families.
It’s time for him to resign.

This albertan and her friends do. Won’t buy anything amerikkkan except as absolute last resort.

Awesome but goodness please lay the words out in order. That was hard to read😂😂

Gogogogogog!!!!! I’m here for this. I will keep an eye for opportunities to help!

NEW:

AFL president Gil McGowan says work will begin on the process to organize a potential general strike in Alberta if in response to the UCP invoking the notwithstanding clause to force teachers back to work.

What? Really? I thought you were talking about kittens🙄🙄

No, there’s nothing we can do to get moved up the queue. But I was more speaking to the poster you were answering, which was about voting. But the response would be the same-whether it’s political parties or health plans we all manage to decide among many more than two just fine.

Most of the rest of the world manages with multiple options.

Ok so trump 2028 then? Enjoy your dictatorship dude.

Those who sat on the sidelines during the holocaust were also ‘exercising their choice’. Doing nothing, or ‘not making a choice’ is a choice bud.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but:

A vote is not a love letter for the perfect candidate. A vote is a chess move to win a world you want to live in.

This is more than Canadians pay annually via taxes for UNIVERSAL coverage. Americans really are stupid.

Braid: An appalling, unjust law drives Alberta teachers back to work Alberta teachers are going back to work, but the law that drives them lingers as a dangerous attack on rights, writes columnist Don Braid.

Let’s this sink in. Bill 2 overrides:

• The Labour Relations Code;
• The Public Education Collective Bargaining Act;
• The Alberta Bill of Rights;
• The Alberta Human Rights Act;
• The Education Act.

All without vigorous debate or consultation with Albertans.

I am 100% behind the sentiment, but it is far from simple. Guaranteed the UCP (who are vindictive, soulless Christofascists) would absolutely go after teachers in the way Lianne has outlined.
This needs a Province-wide general strike that brings these fuckers to their knees.

It's simple....

Don't pay them!

Refuse to be governed.

The UCP and current conservatism has broken the social contract it's time to push back
