Bargaining begins again for teachers and BCPSEA

It’s back to the bargaining table Monday for the BC Teachers’ Federation and the BC Public School Employers’ Association.

The two sides will try to reach a new collective agreement.

BCTF President, Susan Lambert says it will likely be a difficult path to an agreement, but she’s hoping one can be reached by the end of June, when the contract runs out.

“There’s no indication from government that they will fund the system adequately to reduce class sizes and to restore programs for children with special needs.”

Lambert says the recently ratified agreement to do with the process of bargaining is a positive development.
