Negotiating a New Provincial Collective Agreement

Saskatchewan teachers are negotiating a new provincial collective agreement. The teachers’ proposal package is the voice and lived experience of teachers. It asks the Government of Saskatchewan to address the most pressing issues in public education in a new contract.

On January 11, 2024, after nine bargaining meetings and a failed conciliation process, the STF announced the implementation of sanctions would begin January 16 should the government continue its intransigence towards bargaining on critical issues that are impacting students and raising serious concerns among teachers and parents.

The challenges teachers and students face in Saskatchewan’s classrooms are caused by the government’s chronic underfunding. Enrolment grows but per-student funding is shrinking leading to a significant lack of professional resources and supports for students, large class sizes and violence in the classroom.
