Alberta teachers, province set to meet for first time since strike began last week

BY The Canadian Press, Oct 14, 2025 6:00 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

The union representing Alberta teachers and the provincial government's bargaining committee are set to meet today for the first time since a provincewide strike began Oct. 6.

The strike, entering its sixth day, has kept some 740,000 students across 2,500 schools out of classrooms. Finance Minister Nate Horner said last week the province had received a new proposal from the Alberta Teachers' Association, which represents the 51,000 teachers.

The last offer on the table, overwhelmingly rejected in a vote by teachers late last month, included a 12 per cent pay raise over four years and a promise to hire 3,000 more teachers to address class sizes.
