Current Situation
Timeline
September 10, 2025
The Alberta Teachers’ Association (ATA) that if a negotiated settlement between the ATA and the Teachers’ Employer Bargaining Association (TEBA) is not achieved, a province-wide teacher strike will commence on Monday, October 6. Between today and October 6, bargaining is expected to continue between the ATA and TEBA.
June 10, 2025
The Alberta Teachers’ Association (ATA) announced that teachers and school administrators across the province voted in favour of a strike.
What Happens Next?
Until Monday, October 6, or until we receive notice that a settlement agreement has been achieved, school continues as usual.
Should a settlement fail to be negotiated, a strike means the provision of educational services by our teaching staff will be suspended and our schools will be unable to accommodate students effective October 6.
Bargaining Process
Bargaining between Teacher Employer Bargaining Association (TEBA) and the ATA occurs centrally at the provincial level. This means that all decisions regarding a provincial collective agreement are made provincially, not by individual school boards.
At the PRSD, we deeply value all of our staff and the incredible contributions they make to student success each and every school day. We respect the bargaining process and remain hopeful that TEBA and the ATA are able to conclude the bargaining process as soon as possible so that a new collective agreement can be implemented without any disruption in educational services.
About the ATA
The ATA includes more than 46,000 certificated members across Alberta. The ATA is divided into 55 local bargaining units. The Greater Peace Local 13, comprises members of the ATA employed by the PRSD. This includes certificated employees including teachers, substitute teachers, assistant principals and principals.
