Collective Agreement

Your Collective Agreement sets out your rights and responsibilities at work.  If you have any concerns about your employment, please contact your Steward or a member of the Executive.

 

For support staff collective bargaining, boards of education bargain directly with their union locals at the school district level (as above). To support local negotiations, the K-12 Presidents’ Council and Support Staff Unions bargains with BCPSEA at the provincial level to develop a Provincial Framework Agreement. This agreement in principle deals with key province-wide matters, including compensation. The Provincial Framework Agreement traditionally forms part of the memoranda of settlement negotiated at the school district level.

Bylaws

Our Bylaws set out the rules for how our local democratically elects our representatives, and how it is run.

Our Bylaws will begin to be renewed in 2025 by our Bylaw Committee. A survey will be sent out and posted here on our website for your feedback once the review has begun.
