Alberta’s top labour leaders are threatening Smith’s government with a province-wide general strike, recall campaigns, and national mobilization following the passage of the Back to School Act.
Well, hasn't this got out-of-control!! So now the unions run the province?? Is this a NDP tactic? What happened to unions negotiating? The govt asked for teachers to return to work and continue negotiating. Children get to go t school, teachers get to work and get a paycheck-seems like a win/win to me!!
Sounds like there are anterior motives here by the union leaders??!!
Totally political ! It’s all about ousting the UCP & place with NDP
The unions are all for control , this is not about the issue at hand! Gil McGowan has been waiting in the wings just for a reason to do something like this! I am sure. Nenshi is wringing his hands with glee!
As a teacher and a parent, I am so sick of these teachers unions using our kids as pawns in their political pandering! The unions have become political organizations and are not representing their members. This is about shutting down charter schools because those teachers aren't part of the ATA and trying to give the NDP power. It is not about our kids and teacher's work conditions.
And there it is. The attack on the very successful and rapidly expanding independent schools. The more teachers in the independent system, the less dues paid into the coffiers to support these unions and the less control they have in manipulating the students.
Really the union screaming Smith is a bully is a joke. Unions are prime example of a bullying. Their members are too afraid to speak up against them because they will be bullied.
Public unions need to be removed! Independent schools need to increase and this will stop the use of children as pawns in the NDP’s politics. The teachers were offered a great deal including discussing classroom size. The union is totally in the wrong!!!
If the NDP was in power and giving the same offers would the union be acting this way. I don't think so, this is all political. The majority of teachers are strong socialists and they are influencing our kids.
Schools should have a mandatory class in how our tax system works.
Yes MAGA, "make all get ass" to work or quit. There are plenty of people unemployed. Time to run the unions out of the country. They're the most worthless things to every receive a paycheck.
The unions have no idea what democracy is. They bully everyone to get what they want. I would be surprised if all the votes they say they wouldn't be paid for
Interesting... the Freedom convoy, peaceful, never intending to overthrow the government was met with the Emergency Act, but the public unions intend to overthrow the UPC government for actions getting teachers back into classrooms and students back to learning. McGowan, by his own words, should be arrested for sedition.
Tell me, did the union bosses still get their paycheques when the teachers were on strike?? Where does all those union dues go?? Should have paid the teachers strike pay. Many teachers and people from other unions are afraid to speak out against them. They are forced to pay dues and follow their rules or else. All about money and politics. They are the biggest bullies!!

No doubt that The Nenshi is stirring things up behind the scenes.

Just curious; how many of these unionized workers are NOT public sector? 10%? 20%? Are steelworkers going on strike? Carpenters? I don't think so.
Time to get rid of public sector unions.
"...new citizen-initiative petitions targeting independent-school funding."

Go for it Unions.
Let's see how that works out for you.
I suspect... NOT WELL.

There's nothing Maga about wanting children back in school the unions are Maga crazy. Premier Smith has more support than striking workers.

This is absolutely disgusting. Nenchi and the NDP are in bed with the Unions!! Nothing new here. Danielle Smith is a great premier!!
