Teachers to vote on possible agreement

16 March 2011

Teachers to vote on possible agreement

PPTA members throughout the country will meet to decide whether to ratify a settlement of the secondary teachers’ collective agreement.

PPTA and the ministry of education have been back in negotiations since the beginning of this year and agreement has been reached on a proposed settlement to be put to all members for ratification.

Branch meetings will be held over the next two weeks to enable members to consider the proposal and vote on it.

PPTA president Robin Duff would not discuss details of the settlement until members had voted.

“With the situation the country is in at present, it would be good to achieve a settlement and return to some sense of normality” he said.
