Collective Agreements

Preparing for bargaining our next collective agreement is currently underway.  Locals have asked for input from members regarding local priorities for bargaining at both the local and provincial tables.  The BCTF Bargaining Conference was held on October 26-27, 2018, where local delegates voted on the bargaining objectives that the BCTF will take forward when negotiations begin early in 2019. Members will be informed as to the progress of bargaining in numerous ways, through their local association via member communications, through information posted on the BCTF Member Portal, and through BCTF Bargaining Bulletins.

Collective agreements for BCTF members are accessible in the members-only portal.
