NORTHERN BC– Support workers at SD91 (Nechako Lakes), reached a tentative agreement on June 21 with the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) 4177.

The bargaining started June 11 and after four sessions and some 12 hour days was wrapped up with 21 signatures.

“We had the best bargaining committee in place that there could ever be,” said CUPE 4177 President Florence Robertson.

Robertson sais that despite the best efforts from both parties, their expectations were hindered because of an unclear process around Service Improvement Allocation.

The provincial framework agreement (PFA) approved by the K-12 Presidents’ Council in September forms part of the tentative agreement. The current K-12 agreement expires on June 30, 2019.
