A tentative framework agreement has been reached between the BC Public School Employers' Association and the K-12 Presidents' Council representing support staff throughout the province's 60 school districts.

The tentative agreement covers approximately 40,000 unionized support staff working in a variety of positions, including education assistants, custodians, trades and maintenance workers, and Indigenous support workers, and those working in clerical, accounting, and information technology positions.

Negotiations under the Shared Recovery Mandate support government's key priorities to improve public services and the health-care system, while supporting the Province's continued economic recovery for all.

The provincial framework agreement represents one part of the local agreements for support staff and negotiations at the district level will now get underway.
