At a news conference, she said the agreement, which must still be voted on by teachers, took leadership on both sides and "real courage" on the part of the union.

Rarely has a deal even ben reached with the teachers. Mostly they have been imposed in one form or another, even when we had an NDP government. Once the government of the day even had to heap more goodies on the teachers after they negociated a deal.
