EDMONTON – The union for school support staff in Edmonton says its 3,000 members are to return to work Thursday after ratifying a new deal with the public school board.
Members voted 93 per cent in favour of the new deal, which the Canadian Union of Public Employees has said includes a higher wage package.
Workers from the Parkland and Black Gold school divisions also ratified deals and will return to work Thursday, while those at the Calgary Board of Education accepted an agreement and are back at work Friday.

A tentative deal has been reached with the union chapter representing the Foothills School Division, the last of the nine striking school divisions to reach an agreement.
If members accept that agreement, they will return to work Monday.
The provincewide strike saw about 6,600 staff hit picket lines from Fort McMurray to Calgary over a months-long wage dispute with their employers.
