Peach Arch News: Teachers walk away from employers’ offer
B.C. Teachers’ Federation cancelled three days of contract talks this week after seeing the employers’ offer they termed “an insult.”
The B.C. Public School Employers’ Association had not received a formal response to the offer or a date for talks to resume as of Thursday, BCPSEA’s Deborah Stewart said.
BCTF local presidents met Wednesday to decide a response to a raise offered at eight per cent over four years and benefit improvements.
The teachers want 24 per cent over three years.
