Alberta teachers have rejected the province’s latest contract offer, setting the stage for a potential provincewide strike next week.
Alberta Teachers’ Association president Jason Schilling says close to 90-per cent of its members voted against the deal on the table.
The rejected offer included a 12-per cent pay raise over four years and a government promise to hire three-thousand more teachers to address class sizes.
Schilling says the vote made it clear that teachers found the offer unacceptable.
