Over 3,000 educational support workers in Edmonton and nearby areas could strike as early as today due to ongoing disputes over wages. These workers, including education assistants, librarians, and cafeteria staff, are represented by CUPE and have been without a new contract since 2020. The union has rejected recent offers, which include modest wage increases, citing the need for better compensation. The government and school boards have expressed disappointment over the situation, while contingency plans are being made to minimize disruption if the strike occurs.
