Local Implementation & Negotiation Committee (LINC)

Local implementation and negotiation committees, elected by members or appointed by the Executive of each local association, negotiate teaching and learning conditions that reflect the particular needs of the local collective including:

• Sabbatical leave

• Educational leave

• Salaries for substitute teachers

• Duration of the local agreement

• Pay period for teachers

• Special allowances

Over time, local negotiations have included many other matters of local concern other than these mandatory items provided they do not fall under the jurisdiction of the provincial bargaining process.
