The Nova Scotia Teachers Union said Monday it will begin work-to-rule job action starting Dec. 5, meaning teachers will only do the minimum amount of work required under their contact. The province said the demands will cost $171 million a year. Prep time: Union wants an additional day's pay in the event teachers' lost prep time is not replaced within 10 days. It estimates it would cost $13 million based on hiring one new person for every school in the province. The government says this could cost up to $20 million based on current numbers and the need to hire more teachers.
