The collective agreement between the British Columbia Teachers` Federation (BCTF), which represents public school teachers in the province, and BCPSEA (BCPSEA), which represents the 60 public teaching bodies, expired on June 30, 2019. After the vote, the new collective agreement was adopted by teachers by a margin of 98 per cent. The agreement was voted online over a three-day period, as current events prohibit teachers from meeting in local schools or district offices. BCPSEA leads the three phases of collective bargaining between the teacher and the public school (school district) - preparation, negotiation and implementation/administration. Negotiated with the assistance of a mediator, the agreement includes: In a press release, the BC government stated that members of BCPSEA (BCPSEA) and the BC Teachers` Federation (BCTF) have ratified an agreement under the government`s negotiating mandate for sustainable services. In February 2007, the Board of Education for School District #33 (SD 33) and BCPSEA (BCPSEA) entered into the following agreements with the Chilliwack Teachers` Association (CTA) and the British Columbia Teachers` Federation (BCTF): The province received Vince Ready`s final report on BC teacher collective bargaining in February 2007. The agreement affects more than 45,000 teachers, represented by the BCTF, who provide education to students in the province`s 60 school districts. Vince Ready, a member of the Industrial Inquiry Commission, was appointed in October 2005 to review collective bargaining between the B.C. Public School Employers` Association and the B.C. This review was made in response to Commissioner Don Wright`s previous report on the teacher collective bargaining system. Currently, approximately 300,000 public sector employees - 90% - are covered by preliminary or ratified agreements concluded as part of B.C`s mandate to negotiate sustainable services.

Mediator David Schaub left the parties to the review with some concepts and suggested that he would contact the parties in the new year to determine availability to meet. The Ombudsman has requested - and the BCPSEA respects - a media blackout while the mediation process is under way. In a statement issued on November 8, BCPSEA Steering Committee Chair Alan Chell said that ... The BOARD of directors of the BCPSEA was surprised and disappointed that the BCTF executive rejected the Ombudsman`s recommendations for a solution and did not advance them in favour of a vote on BCTF membership.
