Binding arbitration on the table for Sask. teachers, STF to meet with members
After, at first rejecting the provincial government’s offer, the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation (STF) is now considering binding arbitration for its collective bargaining agreement.
On Tuesday, the STF announced it is talking to its members about binding arbitration.
After a second ‘no’ vote on a government contract offer from teachers, the STF and government went back to the table. An impasse was quickly declared when the STF’s bargaining committee rejected binding arbitration.
The STF said, on the weekend, the government came back with a revised offer to include class complexity-accountability framework and wages in the binding arbitration.
