In response to the Government of Saskatchewan’s continuing refusal to negotiate contract language on classroom size and class complexity, the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation today gave notice of a third consecutive day of job action. Withdrawal of noon hour supervision and extracurricular activities will take place at various locations across the province on Wednesday, February 25, 2024. This is consistent with the Federation’s earlier announcement that job action would escalate, if government failed to return to the bargaining table with a renewed mandate.

  School Division

Withdrawal of extracurricular activities means that STF members who provide voluntary leadership of all extracurricular programs, including sports, non-curricular drama, music and band, science clubs, intramurals, rehearsals, student leadership activities, planning for graduation celebrations, book fairs, and other clubs and activities, will not be available. This includes activities that take place before school, during lunch hour, after school and in the evening.
