The union representing more than 10,000 Nova Scotia teachers says they’ve reached a tentative agreement with the province after months of negotiating.
In a statement from the Nova Scotia Teacher’s Union (NSTU), president Liette Doucette says the union is “pleased that we’ve reached a tentative agreement.”
“I congratulate both parties for working hard since the new year, and over the summer to reach an agreement.”

The union had been in negotiations with the government since December, when the last tentative agreement was rejected.
The teachers haven’t had a contract since the end of July 2015, when their agreement expired.
