Large Majority of Alberta Teachers Vote in Favour of Striking

  • Nearly 39,000 Alberta teachers voted between June 5 and 8, with 94.5% supporting strike action if no agreement is reached with the province.
  • The vote followed the expiry of the ATA collective agreement in August 2024 and rejection of a mediator's 12% wage increase recommendation in May.
  • Teachers cite underfunded education, overcrowded classrooms, lack of resources, and burnout, demanding respect and better support for students and staff.
  • ATA president Jason Schilling said teachers are united, sending an unmistakable message that they will no longer support a crumbling public education system.
  • Both sides will return to the bargaining table this month, while teachers have up to 180 days to give 72 hours' notice before striking.
