No new contract for Saskatchewan teachers

Jun 12, 2011 | 8:24 AM

After seven days of mediation, the Saskatchewan Teachers Federation (STF) and the government-trustee bargaining committee have failed to come to an agreement on a new contract.

The case mediator is now preparing a special report that will be submitted to the Minister of Labour Relations Don Morgan.

The report is expected to be finished by the end of the month.

Sandi Urban-Hall, spokesperson for the government’s bargaining committee, said although a deal didn't get done, progress in the negations was made.

Gwen Dueck, with the teachers' bargaining committee, said the week was an important step in realizing the goal of reaching an agreement.
