Alberta Moves to End Weeks-Long Teachers’ Strike with Back-to-Work Legislation

 

Teachers and supporters take part in a rally on World Teachers' Day in Edmonton, Sunday, Oct. 5, 2025.

The Alberta government is preparing to introduce legislation that would force thousands of striking teachers back into classrooms, bringing an end to a province-wide job action that has stretched on for weeks.

Premier Danielle Smith said the strike, which began on October 6, has gone on “far too long” and is harming students’ education. The proposed back-to-work bill—expected to be tabled today—would mandate a return to class for roughly 51,000 teachers and 750,000 students across the province.

The dispute has centered on wages and classroom conditions, with the government offering a 12 per cent wage increase over four years. Teachers, however, argue that the proposal does not adequately address rising costs of living or growing class sizes.

While the legislation is expected to pass quickly, union leaders have expressed frustration, saying the move undermines collective bargaining rights. Parents and students, meanwhile, remain caught in the middle, eager for a resolution that ensures stability in schools.
