Local 70 – South Shore Regional School Board Bargaining Update

As you are likely aware, this round of negotiations has been unique and challenging for the NSGEU. With the looming threat of wage restraint through Bill 148, the NSTU dispute, staffing changes at SSRSB Central Office and regular school shut down periods, it has been particularly difficult to schedule dates to meet with the Employer at the Bargaining table.

Your Committee exchanged proposals on February 4, 2016 and met with the Employer on April 24, 25 and 26, 2017, where we were able to make some progress. We are hopeful for more dates early in the new year.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact a member of your bargaining committee:
