Local 73 – Annapolis Valley 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 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 with the Employer on March 7, 2016 and met with the Employer on October 5 & 6, 2016, April 20 & 21 and October 18 & 19, 2017, where we were able to make some progress. We have further dates scheduled for December 6 & 7.

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