Want to know something about the recent use of the Notwithstanding Clause?

It openly attacks the rights of women.

AB - Teachers (majority women), ON - teacher assistants (majority women) and QB - religious garments (Muslim women).

There is no such thing as coincidence when it happens three times.

Alberta’s teachers are on strike. Each passing day is another day the government refuses to fund classrooms properly.

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.

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

The clock is ticking. October 6 is 11 days away. If there's no deal acceptable to teachers before then, teachers will be on strike.

I am going to eat crow while it is young and tender before it is old and tough. I apologize to @albertateachers.bsky.social for my previous posts. I was taught a valuable lesson on bargaining and have been enlightened to my erroneous beliefs.

@albertateachers.bsky.social are you seriously bringing the almost same offer we rejected in May back to us?
Every member of the executive needs to resign immediately!
We have caved again and again.
Your union members gave you a mandate. You did nothing but show how weak you all are.
