Your K-12 provincial bargaining committee met again this week with their counterparts from the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA) for the second bargaining session.
Over the two-day meeting, the committees discussed a wide range of important issues that could be addressed in a new Provincial Framework Agreement (PFA). While discussions were cordial and cooperative, it is clear there is more work to do to reach a fair agreement.
Your bargaining committee is hopeful that approaching these challenging discussions head on will help foster real progress on the key priorities of K-12 members across the province. These priorities include fair wages, increased hours, securing public childcare work for our members, and addressing violence experienced by school support workers. We have been clear with BCPSEA – these issues need to be addressed in the new PFA.
The next bargaining session is scheduled for three-days, June 9-11. Members can expect an update shortly after this next meeting.
