With binding arbitration, one chapter of our fight for #sasked is done, but another is starting right now. Remember we have elections coming up?

This is where we must DEMAND changes. We must vote for candidates who genuinely care about education and not the ones who gaslight us.

@trudykeil @jeremycockrill Not only is work to rule legal, it's literally just doing their job and only their job. They are 100% completing their obligations as teachers, but are not taking on extra tasks.

@trudykeil @jeremycockrill The Supreme Court of Canada agrees with you (from SFL v Saskatchewan).

@Sarah_in_SK Thank you for the support 💙

Teachers can not go to binding arbitration because the SK Party has not agreed to negotiate it. Meaning that the teachers can ask for complexity but if the SK Party refuses to accept it into an agreement the the arbitrator can not rule on it.

With the final day of session completed @Vicki_Mowat_NDP wrote a great note on her Facebook.

Reposting to Twitter because I feel it may have been missed by some here.

"All packed up after the final day of session before the provincial election. Over the last ten weeks, the Sask. Party has been marred by infighting and ethical scandals, while we've been focused on solutions to the issues keeping Saskatchewan people up at night.
After 17 years of the same old Sask. Party boys' club, people are ready for change. We have so much potential when we work together.
Last night, Speaker of the House Randy Weekes tore up his Sask. Party membership. The break with his party comes after Deputy Premier Donna Harpauer tried to strongarm him into blocking Opposition questions about government scandal and waste, including:
- Minister Cockrill’s side job selling windows to government agencies without an exemption from the Conflict of Interest Commissioner
- Minister Duncan skipping out on a work conference to tour Paris in a $3,500 Mercedes limo
- Scott Moe rewarding “true friends” and insiders with public board appointments
- Minister Makowsky’s Social Services Ministry paying inflated rates to MLA Grewal’s motels
- Exclusive contracts to a Sask. Party donor to perform surgeries in Calgary
- Minister Reiter spending $12,000 on catered meals and drinks over 3 days in Toronto
Nearly half of Sask. Party’s MLA who won seats in the 2020 election have or are planning to abandon ship next provincial election. Meanwhile, our Sask NDP team is united and focused on real solutions to the failures of the Moe government.
Every single day of the session, we called on Premier Scott Moe to cut his 15 cent/litre gas tax. Moe is the only Prairie premier not to cut the gas tax, and his party unanimously voted against it, after delivering a budget without a dime of new affordability measures.
Services like emergency rooms and operating theatres have closed at 53 different hospitals, two hundred thousand people in Saskatchewan do not have access to a family doctor, and Saskatchewan has the longest wait times for knee and hip surgeries in Canada. The Opposition is listening to healthcare workers and is ready to change the culture driving them out of our province, including by striking a healthcare task force, introducing a grow-your-own training strategy, and reforming the dated Ambulance Act. Nurses across the province have denounced the Sask. Party’s expanding use of private, out-of-province travel nurses costing taxpayers $70 million this year alone.
We're committed to putting Saskatchewan workers and companies first when it comes to public infrastructure projects and contracts. The announcement of our Hire Saskatchewan plan came after news broke that Premier Scott Moe “sandbagged” a local Saskatoon business by giving their tire recycling contract to a Newport Beach, California company. The number of small businesses operating in Saskatchewan decreased by 91 last year.
Here are the words of our Sask NDP Leader, Carla Beck:
“This election will come down to one thing: have things improved under Scott Moe? Across the board, the answer is no. People are living paycheque to paycheque while Scott Moe and his friends profit from successes built on the backs of Saskatchewan people. Our healthcare system is in crisis. Our kids are being forced to share desks and textbooks.
This fall, Saskatchewan people will have a choice – they’ll have the opportunity to vote for real change. We plan to work every day to earn their trust and show that we will deliver that change that Saskatchewan families so desperately need.”
The Opposition tabled five bills to make the government more transparent and get big money out of politics."

Pride orgs. in Regina, Saskatoon, Prince Albert, Moose Jaw, the Battlefords & Swift Current have all banned Sask. Party MLAs from attending events this June b/c of their support in passing gov'ts pronoun bill. #saskpoli #sask

I thought the best deals were made at the bargaining table…🙄

[Paul Stewart 🎯 @CommonsensePaul]

“SK Party math ain’t mathing”, as Curt says. You got that right, have a listen to this. The fact is we have underfunded our kids for a decade and the Sk Party is trying to hide it.

Saskatchewan teachers overwhelmingly reject government offer for new contract https://t.co/9vm3pnPHwS

[Daniel Dion (VE5DLD-VA5NN) @danieldion1]

This from a Gov't who changed legislation to start the school year after labour day to extend the summer period for families. Then they mandated 950 student contact hours and couldn't fit that amount of time in the legislated year. 1/2

[Daniel Dion (VE5DLD-VA5NN) @danieldion1]

Then they needed to legislate modifications to their own legislation to account for years where labour day comes late. Goes to show how this Gov't considers the impacts of their decisions. I wonder what parents think of shortening the summer break for their children. 2/2
