School support workers return to class today in the Annapolis Valley.
Members of union Local 73 ratified a new agreement with the Regional Centre for Education yesterday.
The agreement addresses wage parity, the main issue behind the two week-long strike.
In a release, NSGEU President Sandra Mullen says the workers stood together for what was fair, and were able to achieve their goal.
Ninety-two percent of workers voted in favour of the deal.
About 150 members of Local 70 on the South Shore reached a tentative agreement with their employer yesterday, and will hold a ratification vote today.
MEDIA RELEASE: Striking school support workers in the Valley vote 92.3% to accept new tentative agreement, which will achieve wage parity.
