EDMONTON — Alberta teachers have rejected the provincial government's latest contract offer, setting the stage for a provincewide strike next week. The Alberta Teachers' Association, which represents 51,000 teachers across the province, announced Monday that nearly 90 per cent of those who voted over the past three days rejected the deal. "Teachers have been told time and time again the government will make it right the next time," said Schilling. Finance Minister Nate Horner said Monday he was disappointed with the vote as he believed the offer would've addressed major issues for teachers, such as overcrowded classrooms. "This is the second time teachers have rejected a potential settlement that provided what their union said teachers wanted in response to growing classroom complexities," he said.
