Ontario-Leaders of the union that represents Ontario’s 60,000 public high school teachers have endorsed a tentative deal with the province, the union said in a news release.
The Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation says the deal it reached at the central negotiating table with the Ontario Public School Boards Association and the Ontario government includes a one per cent salary increase on Sept. 1, 2016, no changes to class sizes and one extra P.A. day during the school year.
The deal also includes improve sick day provisions for long-term occasional teachers.
For this coming school year, all OSSTF members will be paid a lump sum equivalent to one per cent of their salary.
The union says all raises will be paid for through savings found elsewhere in the agreement. The union says that in the meantime, all job action has been suspended.
OSSTF’s general members will vote on whether to ratify the deal sometime in September.
