ALT Nova Scotia’s teachers and educational specialists have sent a resounding wake-up call to government that it can no longer continue to ignore the many crises boiling over inside our public schools. In a province-wide electronic vote held today, 10,313 NSTU members (including substitute teachers who were eligible to vote) voted 98 per cent in favour of strike action. “Teachers are frustrated by rapidly declining conditions inside their schools, and by Government’s lack of action to provide safe and healthy learning environments for students,” says NSTU President Ryan Lutes.
