Provincial Collective Agreement

The current local collective agreement has not yet been signed off by the local parties. As such, a number of documents apply including: the previous agreement, the 2006-2011 provincial agreement and several local Letters of Agreement and Settlement awards. Where a provincial clause is inferior to a local clause, the superior clause prevails. For assistance in interpreting the agreement, please contact the staff representative at your school or the GVTA Contract Chair (595-0181).
