REGINA,
SK, May 10, 2024 /CNW/ - The Scott Moe
government's refusal to address class size and complexity in public
schools is more evidence that it's time for change, says
Unifor.
"Unifor stands with Saskatchewan's teachers in their fight for
justice and a fair collective agreement," said Unifor National
President Lana Payne. "Teachers are
trying their best to improve the public education in Saskatchewan, but the Sask Party government
refuses to invest in public schools."
From piecemeal privatization of Crown corporations to the total
shut down of rural transportation options, the Moe government has
overseen a steady decline in the quality of public services, says
Unifor.
"Scott Moe claims the province is prosperous, but everywhere you
look, public services are in decline and working people are
struggling," said Unifor Western Regional Director Gavin McGarrigle. "Scott Moe wants you to blame
Ottawa, but the cause of
underfunded services is right here in Saskatchewan, and it's time for a change in
government."
Unifor is Canada's largest
union in the private sector, representing 315,000 workers in every
major area of the economy. The union advocates for all working
people and their rights, fights for equality and social justice in
Canada and abroad, and strives to
create progressive change for a better future.
