At 1:45 am this morning, OSSTF reached a tentative provincial framework agreement with the Ontario Public School Boards' Association, thus establishing parameters to support local collective bargaining.
This framework will be presented at a special meeting of Teacher/Occasional Teacher Presidents and Chief Negotiators on Tuesday, December 2, 2008.
Details of the framework agreement will be released pending acceptance of the document. The agreement includes a provision extending the previous deadline to January 30, 2009 to achieve local collective agreements.
