Johnston said Red Deer Catholic teachers have been working without a collective agreement for more than two and a half years and are one of 13 jurisdictions that have failed to reach an agreement for the 2016-2018 period. 1.3 Effective April 10, 2019, the association is a bargaining partner for each bargaining unit and: a) has the exclusive power to bargain collectively with TEBA on behalf of all teachers in the bargaining units and to engage teachers in each collective agreement in relation to the central concepts; b) have the exclusive power to collectively negotiate, on behalf of teachers, local conditions on behalf of teachers, on behalf of each bargaining unit, and to engage teachers through a collective agreement. (c) judgment or transaction: an order of a competent court or an agreement in which the teacher agrees to accept any sum of money that represents a previous or future loss of remuneration, either by a lump sum, by periodic payments, or by the purchase of a pension or one of them. 1.4 « general increase » a percentage of salary increase applicable at all stages of all the grids of a settlement agreement. 2. If a general salary increase (s) for a transaction agreement in one of the first years (1 September, 2016 to 31. August 2017) or second year (September 1, 2017 to August 31, 2018) above 0%, the general salary increase negotiated under this transaction agreement is more than 0% on the wage network, administrative allowances and the daily wages of teachers replacing collective agreements with the association during the first or second year and the dates (e) negotiated as part of the comparison agreement concerned. If more than one general increase was negotiated for transaction agreements, the increases are not taken into account beyond several transaction agreements, but the general increase (n) is applied annually to the salary schedule, administrative allowances and the daily salary of substitute teachers. 2.2.2 In the absence of an agreement, the matter is decided by arbitration at the end of the PECBA. On May 26, 2020, the Alberta Teachers` Association and red Deer Catholic Regional Schools entered into a collective agreement for the period 2018-2020.
1.6 « Flat payment » refers to a one-time payment corresponding to other one-time payments, sometimes called signing bonuses. The « flat payment » does not explicitly include the continuation or extension of the lump sum payments currently provided for in existing transaction agreements between boards of directors and unions, which are listed in point 1.1 of this letter. 1.2 « first year » means that, with respect to a transaction agreement, the period from April 1, 2017 to March 31, 2018 brings together 15.9 representatives of TEBA and Association within 15 days of operation to discuss the difference, or at a later consensual date for both parties. By mutual agreement between TEBA and the association, representatives of the board of directors concerned with the difference may be invited to participate in the discussion on difference. b) TEBA and the association may agree to proceed with an arbitration board composed of a single arbitrator instead of a three-member arbitration board. In this case, the TEBA and the Association will appoint, within 15 days of operation, a person acting as a single arbitrator after the agreement reached with a single arbitrator. If it is not possible to agree on the person as a single arbitrator, each party may request in writing that the Director of Mediation Services indicate the required appointment. 17.2.5 The teacher will, at the request of the Committee, execute the documents and agreements deemed necessary or desirable by the House to implement the provisions of this section 17.2.
4. This legal letter expires on August 31, 2018 and will not be renewed beyond that date, even if the collective agreement is exceeded by the application of the law.
