| QESBA and QPAT sign historic collective agreement | | | | Montreal, April 6, 2011 – Debbie Horrocks, President of the Quebec English School Boards (QESBA) and Serge Laurendeau, President of the Quebec Provincial Association of Teachers (QPAT) today signed an historic collective agreement in Montreal. The agreement, prescribing working conditions for some 8,000 teachers at the nine member school boards of QESBA, culminates two years of provincial teacher negotiations. “This is a milestone agreement for teachers who go the extra distance,” said Debbie Horrocks, referring to a ground-breaking initiative on value-added remuneration included in the entente. “This agreement recognizes teachers that go above and beyond their primary functions by spending time with students outside the classroom,” said Ben Huot, President of the Comité patronale des négociations pour les commissions scolaires anglophones (CPNCA), the management negotiating consortium for English school boards. Mr. Huot is also Director of Labour Relations at QESBA. QESBA President Debbie Horrocks and QPAT President Serge Laurendeau sign the new teacher agreement.
