Once again the SK Party offered binding arbitration but did not agree to include complexity. Because they didn’t agree to that a arbitrator can not award provisions of it unless both sides agree. This is the issue here.
Jennifer McDonald retweeted
This sums it up folks!
@SaskTeachersFed cannot trust @jeremycockrill. Binding arbitration offered by the SKParty doesn’t necessarily include provisions for class size/complexity
Has the prov gov agreed to include them in Binding Arbitration? If no, the public must know! #skpoli

Wascana Plains in Regina a K-8 elem. school,are projecting 1025 students next year 😳, they avg. almost 27 students to every 1 teacher. Think about that,these are not high schools kids these are kids learning to read and write. This is education under the Sk Party.

Everyone needs to read about the dangerous ER situation at Royal University Hospital. This was just sent to SUN.
Things are getting MUCH worse.
The shift began with 40 patients stuck in the ER waiting for a bed elsewhere in the system and 21 patients in the hallway.

And we will stand with you!
Teachers and nurses deserve to be fairly compensated and to have safe working conditions with appropriate supports.

Important history: teachers fought for proper funding for class size / complexity in 2020. Then COVID hit. Teachers bowed to a greater crisis & settled a contract based on @SKGov promise to fix the problem. But @SKGov did not keep its promise. So here we are again 4 years later.

School boards need to be sharing their realities.
Negative or positive.
There should be transparent reporting of funding from every single publicly funded school division in our province.
On March 20, the provincial government released its 2024-25 budget. While the school division's operating funding has increased by 7.7% for 2024-25, this increase will not come close to addressing the significant increase in student need.

Lost in the dust up over apologies etc. was the actual advocacy of this grieving mother, so I want to share her words.

We nurses knew. The science told us. Saskparty did not have the public's nor Health Care Workers' backs. It was a terrible time that didn't need to happen. Anyone can lead good times; true character comes out during challenging times.
CBC News and @IJFMedia have internal documents showing the Sask government knew COVID was spreading at an "exponential" rate in the fall of 2021, days before publicly declining to re-introduce measures doctors said were urgently needed to stop the spread
