The BC Teachers Federation says 75.3 % of its members who cast a ballot, have voted in favour of ratifying the agreement with the BC Public School Employers’ Association reached on Tuesday, after a year-long labour dispute.
The union says 21,044 teachers–or 52% of its membership–voted.
The deal is valid until June 30th, 2013.
Improved benefits and seniority provisions are included in the contract, any wage increases are not.
The union has said the provincial government left it no choice but to accept the agreement–the BCTF recommended teachers vote in favour of it.
