Dear Members,
As we approach the holiday season, we would like to share a brief update on bargaining and extend our warmest wishes to you in the weeks ahead.
Provincial bargaining between the K–12 Presidents’ Council and the provincial government is still ongoing. This bargaining will determine our yearly wage increase and contract legnth.
Once provincial bargaining is complete, we will move directly into local bargaining with the Sea to Sky School District (SD48). Our bargaining team is already preparing to ensure that local priorities are addressed and that we secure a strong collective agreement that reflects the needs of our members. The team continues to meet regularly to plan and strategize, with one additional meeting scheduled in January. Following that meeting, we will hold a membership meeting to present our local bargaining proposals in detail and gather your feedback.
We sincerely thank you for your patience and solidarity throughout this process. Your ongoing support strengthens our position at the bargaining table. To stay informed about union business, we encourage all members to make every effort to attend membership meetings, as they are the best way to stay up to date and engaged.
As we head into the holidays, we wish you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas, a restful and well-deserved break, and a happy New Year. Please take time to relax, stay safe, and enjoy the season.
