Saskatchewan teachers have voted 95 percent in support of job sanctions if they can’t get a new collective agreement with the provincial government.

After two days of voting, 90 percent of teachers cast a ballot.

Earlier this month, the Teachers’ Bargaining Committee declared an impasse in their talks with the government, and began the conciliation process in hopes of advancing negotiations.

The teachers say they have put forward ten proposals for negotiation on issues like class size and violence in the classroom, but that the government has refused to bargain on nine of the ten proposals.
