The NSTU is resuming work-to-rule job action on Monday. Union President Liette Doucet says Stephen McNeil is already backing way from commitments in the new tentative agreement, set to be voted on February 8th. The two extra days offered by the province are the issue, with the premier saying they’re for marking and prep but teachers being told by the union it’s two days off.

Greedy Councillors
Nova Scotia’s chief electoral officer says some councillors in a Nova Scotia municipality who expensed money spent on a Liberal fundraiser have agreed to a “compliance agreement” to help ensure they won’t repeat their mistake.
The Richmond County councillors each paid 300 dollars for a May, 2014, fundraiser attended by Premier Stephen McNeil and Energy Minister Michel Samson.
They were illegally reimbursed by the municipality.
In a report yesterday, Elections Nova Scotia says it has entered into “compliance agreements” with six councillors, the chief administrative officer and the warden to follow the act in future.
