Saskatchewan teachers have voted in favour of sanctions, with 90.2 percent of members in support. Voter turnout was exceptionally high at 96.6 percent.

“Saskatchewan teachers have demonstrated their collective resolve and commitment to ensure students have access to the supports they need,” said Patrick Maze, President of the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation. “Chronic underfunding has created a crisis in Saskatchewan schools that can’t go on any longer.”

Conciliation Board Chair Arne Peltz confirmed that the bargaining process is at an impasse, and that there has been no agreement on the issues under consideration.
