REGINA — Saskatchewan teachers are planning more job action next week as negotiations for a new contract remain at an impasse.
The Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation says it’s withdrawing voluntary noon-hour supervision Monday and Tuesday at some school divisions.
The union says it’s disappointed the governing Saskatchewan Party has rejected an offer to go into binding arbitration.

The union says it may take future job action, such as cancellations of sporting events and field trips.
