An arbitrator has awarded Ontario’s public school teachers a 2.75 per cent retroactive pay raise to make up for the last of three years of imposed wage caps that were deemed unconstitutional by the courts.
That raise is on top of a 0.75 per cent bump for each of the first two years.
When the one per cent yearly wage-capped increase is factored in, and with compounding, teachers will receive about 7.41 per cent in pay raises in total for the three years.
