Voting commenced on Wednesday and is set to conclude at 6 p.m. Thursday. As of two hours after the polls opened, over 45% of members had cast their ballots. The STF and the province have been engaged in contract negotiations since May 2023, which culminated in a strike by teachers in January 2024 due to an unsatisfactory offer.

Despite having two years remaining on his current contract, Hendrickson has expressed dissatisfaction with his financial situation after an impressive season with 17.5 sacks.
In the wake of an unsuccessful contract negotiation, Cincinnati Bengals edge rusher Trey Hendrickson has requested a trade. The 29-year-old, who has two years remaining on his contract, has been absent from the team’s offseason workouts due to dissatisfaction with his current deal.
Despite his request, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the Bengals have no intention of trading Hendrickson. The team signed him to a four-year, $60 million contract in 2021, and he has since become a key member of Cincinnati’s defense, earning Pro Bowl nods in the past three seasons.
However, Hendrickson has expressed concerns about his compensation, and he is seeking a substantial raise. The Bengals have been unwilling to meet his demands, leading to the current impasse.
Hendrickson’s situation could impact the Bengals’ draft strategy, as they may consider adding depth at the edge rusher position. Regardless of his contract status, Hendrickson remains a valuable asset for Cincinnati, who will be looking to return to the postseason after reaching the AFC Championship Game last year.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk’s contract negotiations have taken a significant turn with the news of Amon-Ra St. Brown’s lucrative extension with the Detroit Lions.

Despite St. Brown’s slightly superior receiving stats, Aiyuk’s emergence as the top pass-catching option for the 49ers gives him leverage. The 49ers fan base is now on edge as Aiyuk’s contract situation nears the first round of the 2024 draft.
