Members of the Nova Scotia Teachers Union will vote on whether or not to ratify a tentative agreement with the province on Wednesday.
Last month, Premier Tim Houston announced that the province had reached an agreement in principle with the union shortly after 98 percent of its more than 10,000 members voted in favor of a strike mandate.
Union president Ryan Lutes previously referred to violence in schools and wages are key issues in the negotiations.
According to a news release from the union, members – who are public school teachers, social workers, speech language pathologists and school psychologists – will vote online regarding the contract between 6 am and 8 pm on Wednesday.
The result will be announced at 9pm
