A Canadian judge to decide whether to block Alberta’s law ending a teachers’ strike by forcing workers back under a rejected contract.
A Canadian judge is set to rule on whether to temporarily block Alberta’s Back to School Act, which ended a 2025 teachers’ strike by forcing educators back to work and imposing a rejected four-year contract.
The Alberta Teachers’ Association challenges the law’s use of the Charter’s notwithstanding clause, arguing it was improperly applied retroactively and undermines labour rights.
If the injunction is granted, the law would be paused until a constitutional hearing in September, allowing teachers to potentially strike again, though the union has pledged not to act for three weeks.
The decision could impact public sector labour rights and government authority in future disputes.
