Alberta’s leading labour organization is asserting that it intends to forcefully respond to the government’s back-to-work order for Alberta teachers, but has stopped short of directly calling for an imminent general strike.

This week, Gil McGowan, president of the Alberta Federation of Labour, signalled his intent to topple the United Conservatives in response to Bill 2, through an organized campaign involving 24 of the province’s unions under a coalition called the Common Front.

“We will begin the process of organizing towards a potential general strike,” he said at a press conference Wednesday.
