Drayton Valley Western Review: No strike for now
There is some relief from the tension of a looming teachers’ strike in the Parkland School District.
Robert Twerdoclib, president of the Parkland teachers’ local of the Alberta Teachers’ Association, said that a decision had been made at last Wednesday night’s general meeting to “calm the waters,” by not taking immediate strike action.
“It was resolved not to call any strike at this point and time,” said Twerdoclib.
