Unionized public school teachers in Nova Scotia will begin work-to-rule job action next week after contract talks with the province collapsed on Friday. The Nova Scotia Teachers Union announced Monday that beginning Dec. 5, its 9,300 teachers will only do the minimum amount of work required by their contract. Union president Liette Doucet told reporters on Monday that work-to-rule is a way of taking action while showing teachers remain committed to getting back to the bargaining table. The work-to-rule was announced a week ahead of time, she said, so parents can prepare for the impacts of the job action. The NSTU said it still hopes a deal with government can be reached and job action will be avoided.
