Alberta teachers and government resume talks ahead of Oct. 6 strike deadline amid pay and conditions disputes.

Talks between Alberta teachers and the provincial government have resumed ahead of an Oct. 6 deadline, as concerns grow over a potential province-wide strike. The Alberta Teachers’ Association (ATA) is now led by a new top negotiator following the resignation of the previous one, adding uncertainty to the negotiations. Both sides are working to resolve key issues, including pay and working conditions, amid rising tensions and the looming threat of job action.
