Elementary Teachers Seek Conciliation

Teachers working in the Keewatin-Patricia District School Board are asking for the help of a conciliator in their contract talks.

Local members of the Elementary Teachers Federation met earlier this week with the board.

Local representative Anne Saltel says Bill-115 is making it very difficult to come to any sort of an agreement.

Saltel says the legislation which forces teachers to accept a wage freeze and benefit cuts is leaving them no choice but to seek conciliation.
