David Mitchell :CApride: on Nostr: The Alberta #UCP has just blown up a century of labour action and worker’s rights ...

The Alberta #UCP has just blown up a century of labour action and worker’s rights hard won against coercive and exploitative employers. They - the employer - have just unilaterally imposed a contract on teachers in clear contravention of their constitutional and Charter rights, and have invoked the “notwithstanding” clause to shield themselves from legal consequences.

A summary of the act:

Here are the 20 key takeaways from Alberta’s 2025 Back to School Act (Bill 2) — the highlights that matter most for understanding what this law does:
    •    Ends the Alberta teachers’ strike that began Oct 6, 2025, and the lockout by TEBA that began Oct 9, 2025.  
    •    Forces all teachers back to work immediately — strike must end at once.  
    •    Forces TEBA and school boards to end any lockout immediately.
