QUEBEC CITY One Quebec teachers union, the Fédération autonome de l enseignement, has reached a tentative deal with Quebec City on the renewal of the collective agreement affecting its 49,000 teachers. The agreement covers not only sectoral issues such as working conditions, but also intersectoral issues, such as salaries, the union organization confirmed Thursday morning. When contacted by phone, the FAE refused to talk about a tentative agreement, using the term comprehensive settlement proposal . But it confirms that both wages and working conditions are being addressed. As with a tentative agreement, this comprehensive settlement proposal will now have to be submitted to an intermediary body, the Federal Bargaining Council.
