Alberta teachers union speaks after province uses notwithstanding clause to end strike | LIVE

From Global News.

Alberta Teachers’ Association president Jason Schilling will speak the day after members of Premier Danielle Smith’s United Conservative governing caucus tabled back-to-work legislation, ending the strike in the province.

Under the bill, the Alberta Teachers’ Association and its members face hefty fines if they defy the back-to-work order: up to $500 a day for individuals and $500,000 a day for the union.

The union for Alberta’s teachers says the province using the Charter’s Rights and Freedoms’ notwithstanding clause to end their strike is a gross abuse of power — but says it will follow the law.
