It’s day five of a work to rule campaign by Provincial Support Workers.
Demonstrations continue at schools around Greater Saint John.
Corrine Kilpatrick is set up with her co-workers in front of Glen Falls school and tells CHSJ News, the average salary for a teachers assistant is $17,000 dollars but this dispute isn’t about cash but more hours to be eligible for a full-time pension.
Kilpatrick says the union is more than willign to get back to the bargaining table as soon as the Province offers something fair and equitable.
Liberal Leader Shawn Graham says he wants to resume negotiations with the union to go over recommendations laid out in a recent report in which he hopes will resolve the dispute.
