The three members, who are not named in the press release, were reported to have violated the work to rule adopted by the union during its unsuccessful contract talks with the provincial government last year.
The members were alleged to have violated the work-to-rule order by planning a trip that would commemorate the 100-year anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge.

“No sanctions were ever made,” reads the press release.
The union maintains that it had modified the work-to-rule job action during the strike, allowing teachers the ability to participate in planning for the trip to Vimy Ridge.
