Unions Representing Schools of Some Support Workers in Nova Scotia Reach Tentative Agreement
HALIFAX – A tentative agreement was reached Sunday that could end a strike by 600 school support workers in Nova Scotia’s Annapolis Valley.
The Nova Scotia government and general workers’ union issued a statement late Sunday saying an agreement had been reached after two days of negotiations with the help of mediators.
The interim agreement has been recommended for approval by the bargaining committee of support workers, and a ratification vote against the union’s Local 73 is expected on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, 150 striking school support workers at the South Shore Regional Education Center were expected to return to the negotiating table as early as today.
Annapolis Valley workers began their strike on October 24th, while South Shore workers went on strike on October 25th.
Striking workers include educational assistants, early childhood educators, student assistance workers, and outreach workers.
This report by the Canadian Press was first published on November 7, 2022.
