A new deal for B.C. teachers will make wage gains over those in other provinces but still won't improve upon the cost of living.
Clint Johnston, the president of the B.C. Teachers Federation, concedes B.C. teachers may not have made any absolute wage gains on the cost of living with its new three-year contract, but relative to out-of-province colleagues, they'll be better positioned at the end of 2024.
Based on Bank of Canada predictions, these gains will roughly keep up with inflation figures to date and expected figures in the near future. Canada's consumer price index was 7.6 per cent on July 1, although teachers saw a 2.0 per cent increase in 2020 when inflation was only 0.1 per cent. "So the way we catch up is by taking a deal that does give us that opportunity to catch up to also some of our colleagues in Ontario, dependent on the outcome of what happens there," Johnston told Glacier Media.
Asked if the relatively poor outcomes for Alberta and Ontario teachers had an impact on BCTF members, Johnston said he had no clear anecdotal insight but, "I don't think they looked at what's happening in Ontario, that that could happen here under this government." "For our members, I think a lot of them were realistic about this being the best deal we could get at this time, with the salary increases being good for them in terms of the amount of money that they would end up with after three years of this deal," said Johnston.
