Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada (AHN) – All of Saskatchewan’s teachers struck on Thursday to demand a contract. The educators have been working without a contract since August 31.

The job walk off of members of the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation made the province’s history because it is the first time they initiated an industrial action.

In lieu of teaching, the teachers held study sessions and a rally in front of Saskatchewan’s legislature in Regina.

Saskatchewan Education Minister Donna Harpauer said she was disappointed with the union’s move, but admitted it is their right to strike as part of the bargaining process. The minister said she would rather prefer to see the students learning inside the classrooms, than the teachers holding pickets.

The one-day strike, announced Tuesday, affected the Regina Public, Regina Catholic, Prairie Valley and Prairie South school divisions. Classes across the province are expected to resume Friday.
