The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador is announcing that a tentative agreement has been reached with the Newfoundland and Labrador Teachers’ Association (NLTA). The association represents approximately 6,500 educators and administrators across the province.
The NLTA will be presenting this tentative collective agreement to membership for ratification. In order to respect the NLTA’s process, details on the collective agreement will be released upon ratification.
To date the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador has successfully negotiated the majority of its collective agreements with its public sector unions. As collective bargaining continues with a number of public service unions, the Provincial Government is continuing to diligently work to secure agreements through progressive and respectful negotiations.
