Court rules on mediator in teachers’ dispute

It may well be a moot point now, but the BC Supreme Court has rejected a bid by the BC Teachers’ Federation to fire mediator Charles Jago.

This just days after Jago worked out a surprise contract agreement between the union and the government.

The teachers’ federation had argued Jago was not qualified for mediation and was too closely tied to the government.

The ruling also awards costs to government, meaning the union has to pick up the tab for the case.
