P.C. Premier Christy Clark has confirmed that the B.C. teachers and her provincial government, along with the evident help of the negotiators, have tentatively agreed to a six-year deal that could end the strike keeping 500,000 public school students out of the classroom. The official announcement about the agreement was made on early Tuesday at a Vancouver-area hotel where the union, employers’ association and a mediator engaged in marathon talks.
According to Premier Christy Clark, the contract would be a six-year deal while further details of the deal will be released on Tuesday afternoon after both sides formally sign the tentative agreement. Quite noticeably, the six-year-deal is unusually long since the normal period for such an agreement is three to four years. However, the six-year period is still considerably less than the 10 years deal promised by the Premier during her election campaign.
The agreement was first announced by the well-known B.C. mediator, Vince Ready, who worked with both the parties to resolve the deadlock. He mentioned that “after all these hours, I am very pleased to announce that the parties have reached a tentative agreement.” In addition that, Mr. Ready stated that “I’m not at liberty to release any of the details, nor are the parties. The parties are going to meet later this morning and finalize a few of the outstanding details, but generally speaking, there has been a tentative agreement initialized by the parties and that’s really all I’ve got to say at this point.”
