Labour Relations Board outcome

The Alberta Teachers’ Association has issued the following statement with regard to the Alberta Labour Relations Board resolution:

The Alberta Teachers’ Association (ATA) is back at the bargaining table with the Teachers’ Employer Bargaining Association following the issuance of a consent order by the Alberta Labour Relations Board. The consent order affirms that both parties are committed to reaching a collective agreement, which addresses the remaining points of unified salary grid implementation, a 1.5 per cent allowance for teachers at the last step of the grid and the coverage of COVID-19 vaccinations.

Teachers, students and their families remain our top priority as we await the Teachers’ Employer Bargaining Association’s response to our latest proposal.

Additionally, Central Table Bargaining Committee chair Peter MacKay has stepped down. His departure does not affect our path forward in bargaining. We thank him for his service.
