Teachers Withdraw Voluntary Services

The Saskatchewan Teachers Federation will be getting back to the bargaining table this week, as they begin their work to rule campaign today.

Teachers are withdrawing all voluntary services, including extracurricular activities, until the end of the school year, or until a new deal is reached.

The two sides haven't been in negotiations since talks broke down more than a week ago.

Wages remain the biggest issue, with the Teachers Federation demanding a 16.3 per cent raise over three years, which the Government Trustee Bargaining Commitee called unsustainable for taxpayers.
