Province-wide job action is set to begin Monday after collective bargaining negotiations between the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation (STF) and the Government-Trustee Bargaining Committee (GTBC) once again broke down.

According to the province, the Government-Trustee Bargaining Committee proposed that both the STF and the GTBC could jointly request binding arbitration. The GTBC says the STF declined.

One person is dead and two are in custody following an investigation that spanned many locations including the Oxbow landfill.

Carlyle RCMP were alerted on Wednesday, April 24 of a potential homicide. The case was quickly handed to the Saskatchewan RCMP Major Crimes Unit who started their investigation at the Oxbow landfill, where no human remains were found.

The following day around noon, the remains of a woman were located in a rural area of the RM of Moose Mountain, and her death was ruled a homicide.

RCMP do not believe that there are additional victims.

Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation (STF) members will be presented with what is being described as the Government-Trustee Bargaining Committee’s ‘final offer.’

The union said in a press release late Wednesday, ‘after two days of difficult negotiations, the Government-Trustee Bargaining Committee has presented its final offer.’

‘The Teachers’ Bargaining Committee, along with the STF Executive, has decided to bring the final offer to STF members for a vote.’

The Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation says an impasse has been reached and as a result, the union will resume job action on Friday following a breakdown in negotiations with the province.

Friday’s job action includes a province-wide withdrawal of noon-hour supervision and one-day rotating strikes.

Swift Current area schools will not be affected by Friday’s one-day strike.

The Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation (STF) has given 48-hour notice for their next strike action.

Greg Lawrence has resigned as a member of the Saskatchewan Party caucus.

‘His decision comes as an active police investigation is occurring into historical complaints unrelated to his duties as an MLA for Moose Jaw Wakamow,’ said a prepared release from the Government Caucus Office.

The release went on to say Lawrence is ‘fully cooperating with the police investigation.’

The nature of the allegations are unknown at this time.

Lawrence, who will not be seeking reelection, will sit as an independent in the Legislature.
