Hope for continued labour peace in British Columbia public schools is evaporating, with teachers accusing the B.C. NDP government of seeking to undo contract language that they won back after a 14-year court battle.
“What is on the table are proposals that would remove each and every word of the teachers’ Supreme Court win of November, 2016, and replace it with watered-down language on class size, no language on class composition and less onus on the employer to ensure certain special-needs teachers are there." Mr. Fleming, in an interview Tuesday, maintained the proposals will not undermine working conditions for teachers. In the past two years, B.C.'s public schools have hired an additional 3,700 teachers in a bid to meet the contract language that the court found had been illegally stripped by the former Liberal government.
“We are not close to an agreement,” Mr. Chell said. “The answer is not going to be [to] add $1-billion in proposals.”
