Collective Agreements

BCPSEA and the K-12 Presidents Council (representatives of support staff unions in the K-12 public education sector, including CUPE) have, since 2006, engaged in negotiations for a Provincial Framework Agreement. The PFA provides provincial-level agreement on compensation as well as other key sectoral matters. The PFA paves the way for local school districts and local support staff unions to commence and conclude local bargaining. It should be noted that inclusion of the PFA in the collective agreement is voluntary on the part of the local school district and their local union.
