The Northwest Territories Teachers’ Association (NWTTA) negotiates three collective agreements on behalf of its members.

Depending upon which jurisdiction NWT teachers and administrators work in, they are covered under one of three contracts.

Collective agreements for NWT educational assistants are generally with the Union of Northern Workers (UNW), unless they work for Yellowknife Education District No. 1 (YK1). YK1 Educational assistants are NWTTA members and are covered under the YK1 contract.

Your Collective Agreement:

• Determines the terms and conditions of employment;
• Defines teacher benefits, wages, rights and responsibilities;
• Clarifies the relationship between the teacher, the principal, the Divisional Education Council (DEC) or District Education Authority (DEA) and the superintendent;
• Serves all members in the bargaining unit; and
• Assists the NWTTA to serve its members.

1. Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT)
2. Yellowknife Catholic Schools (YCS)
3. Yellowknife Education District No. 1 (YK1)
