Teachers in Alberta say the province’s planned back-to-work legislation will only make things worse for their students.

Ewelina Warchol (WURR’-shul), who teaches in Edmonton, says it’s becoming harder and harder to help all her students in a failing education system.

She was one of thousands of teachers and supporters who jeered and chanted in a protest at the Alberta legislature Thursday.

Premier Danielle Smith says barring an 11th-hour deal, her government will bring in the legislation Monday to get children back to class.
