On October 6, 2025, the Teachers’ Employer Bargaining Association (TEBA) issued a lockout notice to the Alberta Teachers’ Association (ATA), set to commence on October 9 at 1 p.m.
This action follows the ATA’s initiation of a province-wide strike on October 6, after rejecting a tentative agreement.
TEBA stated that the lockout aims to provide predictability and stability for students, contrasting with the uncertainty caused by previous rotating strikes.
The association emphasized its commitment to reaching a fair collective agreement and expects the ATA to continue bargaining in good faith.
