The 2025 Alberta teachers' strike is an ongoing teachers' strike in Alberta. The strike, organized by the Alberta Teachers' Association, is the result of multiple disagreements with the Government of Alberta over the terms of a new labour contract.
The ATA wants better working conditions, increased pay, and class-size reduction. [1] The strike was announced on September 29, 2025, after an offer by the government was declined. [2] The strike began on October 6, 2025, consisting of 51,000 teachers off-work. [3] [4] Due to the strike, all classes have been cancelled, affecting 730,000 students, [5] [6] [7] and 2,500 public, separate, and francophone schools. [8] On October 7, 2025, the government issued a lockout of all staff. [9] The strike will continue indefinitely until either a deal is reached with the Government of Alberta, or there is an order to return to work. [10]
