Supreme Court backs B.C. teachers’ right to bargain class sizes
KAMLOOPS — The president of the Kamloops-Thompson Teachers Association says the Supreme Court of Canada ruling that restores class size and composition to bargaining between teachers and the province will have a big impact locally.
The ruling ended a 14 year battle between the BC Teachers Federation and the province that began in 2002 when the Liberal government stripped class size and composition from bargaining.
David Komljenovic says special needs students in the Kamloops-Thompson School District need more supports.
