Globe and Mail: B.C. Teachers’ Federation to vote on settlem

The B.C. Teachers’ Federation has set a date to vote on a tentative settlement reached with the province in June.

President Jinny Sims says the 38,000 members will cast ballots on Sept. 8.

The union is recommending teachers accept the deal, which gives them a 16-per-cent pay increase over five years and an enhanced signing bonus. CP
