The Alberta government plans to introduce Bill 2, the Back to School Act, which could compel striking teachers to return to work as soon as Thursday, following a provincewide strike initiated on Oct. 6 due to unresolved issues like salaries and class sizes. Experts suggest the bill may declare the strike illegal, with potential penalties for non-compliance, while the Alberta Teachers’ Association has indicated it may consider legal action if the legislation fails to address teachers’ concerns.
