BCPSEA chair Melanie Joy said the tentative agreement standardizes provincial language for the number of leaves and establishes a process for determining local and provincial issues. Acceptance of the agreement will allow schools to resume classes next fall with teachers resuming extra-curricular activities and meetings with school administration. Saanich and Sooke teachers’ association presidents, while unwilling to divulge their personal plans during the vote, conveyed a sense of relief over the tentative agreement. “It caught me a bit off guard,” said Sean Hayes, president of the Saanich Teachers’ Association. “I think it caught a lot of us off guard. By any indication, things weren’t going too well. The fact that we have something to vote on is a good thing.” Helming the Sooke Teachers’ Association, Patrick Henry is welcoming the tentative agreement as a potential break

in the battle between both sides – one mired in media coverage of the province’s net zero wage mandate and BCTF salary and benefit requests, he said. “It’s a bitter sweet thing,” Henry said. “No one wants to prolong this any longer anyway.” Greater Victoria Board of Education chairperson Peg Orcherton is similarly relieved over what she sees as a positive sign for the relationship between teachers and the province. “It was a surprise – a happy surprise,” she said. “I’m hoping this opportunity will give everyone a chance to step back from the brink and collect their breath and their thoughts.” Orcherton is hopeful more progress will be made through the fall, including more definition of the split between provincial versus local bargaining issues. Michael McEvoy, president of the B.C. School Trustees’ Association called the tentative agreement a small step in the right direction. “Over the last number of
months, it’s been very, very difficult and we’re just very pleased that the parties have resolved and worked so hard to reach a resolution,” McEvoy said. “From all parties, from the perspective of teachers, government and trustees, there are a lot of issues that are off the table and not a part of the resolution here, but that’s a part of collective bargaining. You don’t get everything that you want.” Less than 24 hours following the announcement of the tentative agreement, the BCTF issued notice of a civil claim in B.C. Supreme Court against the province. The civil claim, the second made by the union in the last 10 days, is formed on the basis that Bill 22, the Education Improvement Act unconstitutionally infringed teachers’ Charter-protected right to free collective bargaining and asserts that government’s directions to BCPSEA resulted in bad faith bargaining. -with files from Tom Fletcher nnorth@saanichnews.com
