With time running out before Alberta’s striking teachers get legislated back to work, the province and the union say they’re ready to negotiate but want the other side to make the first move.
Alberta Teachers’ Association president Jason Schilling says the union would rather have a deal to end the strike but says he doesn’t see the province willing to concede to the union’s asks.
He says without caps on classroom sizes on the table, the union sees no point in further talks.
Finance Minister Nate Horner’s office says the province can’t afford what’s being demanded and that it wants the union to propose a lesser offer.
