Saskatchewan Education Minister Jeremy Cockrill speaks to members of the media after the release of the Saskatchewan budget in Regina, on March 20.Saskatchewan teachers could return to the bargaining table as early as next week to work out their labour dispute with the province.
Becotte said the union plans to work over the weekend so it can resume bargaining with the government next week. Education Minister Jeremy Cockrill told reporters he believes the document addresses teachers’ concerns over classroom sizes and other supports.“This has been a long process and at times a frustrating one,” Cockrill said Thursday. “The teachers have asked for a number of items from government, and we have agreed and offered many of those.”
Cockrill blamed the federation for launching job action this month that led to the cancellation of Hoopla, a popular provincial basketball tournament.Cockrill said the province would ensure graduation ceremonies can go ahead if job action is called. “Our ideal is we don’t have sanctions at all. We are doing everything we can to have sanctions end,” she said.
