Dear Mr. Chell:
We write with regard to the recent provincial election and its potential impact on the current
negotiations underway with the BC Teachers Federation.
You were sent a bargaining direction letter on behalf of BCPSEA, co-signed by the Deputy
Minister of Education and the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Public Sector
Employers Council Secretariat, on February 15, 2013. With the election of a new governmentwe are mindful of the BC Liberal election platform commitment ...to immediately begin
discussions with BCPSEA and the BC Teachers Federation to achieve a 10 year collective
agreement after the election.
In light of this commitment, we write to advise that you should expect to receive a letter
rescinding the previous bargaining direction letter and replacing it with one more reflective of
the newly elected governments priorities. This fact should be shared with the BC TeachersFederation in advance of further bargaining. The parties may wish to reconsider their upcoming
bargaining dates until further direction is received.
We will arrange for you to meet with our respective Ministers to discuss next steps as soon as
possible. We expect a new Cabinet to be appointed sometime in June.
Sincerely yours,
James Gorman Lee DoneyDeputy Minister Interim President and CEO,
Public Sector Employers Council Secretariat
