agreement with the government that freezes wages, but guarantees a two per
cent raise starting next year.Members of the Elementary Teachers' Federation are paid two per cent less than teachers in the French and Roman Catholic school systems.
Education Minister Liz Sandals says that situation that will be fixed before the next round of bargaining.

raises the union negotiates next time.
