Premier Stephen McNeil is calling the legislature back in session on Monday to start imposing a contract on Nova Scotia's public school teachers. The Nova Scotia Teachers Union and the province reached an impasse this week after teachers voted against the government's latest offer. It marks the third time union execs have endorsed a contract that teachers later voted down. 'Considerable soul searching'Since early December, the province's 9,300 public school teachers have been working-to-rule. Teachers union president Liette Doucet said a legislated contract will only further erode trust between the teachers and the McNeil government.
