As students return to classrooms across Saskatchewan this week, the CUPE Saskatchewan Education Workers’ Steering Committee, EWSC, remains focused on advocating for education support workers in the face of ongoing challenges, including recent funding cuts.
Yesterday, the EWSC met with Matt Love, Saskatchewan NDP Shadow Minister for Education, and Joan Pratchler, Saskatchewan NDP Associate Shadow Minister for Education, to discuss ongoing issues impacting education support workers across Saskatchewan.
Karla Sastaunik, chair of the EWSC, highlighted the committee’s ongoing efforts, including reaching out to the Minister of Education to request further meetings to discuss these concerns.
“We are advocating for our members and will continue to do so,” said Sastaunik. “With a new school year underway, we remain committed to planning and strategizing to ensure our members have the resources and support they need to do their jobs successfully.”
The EWSC represents over 7,000 education support workers across Saskatchewan.
