The BC Public School Employers Association has asked the mediator to issue a formal report in the ongoing contract dispute with the BC Teachers Federation.

This follows the BCTF rejecting a wage offer of 6% over three years, the same two-two-and-two accepted by other public sector unions in the province.

News of the rejection comes in an Employers Association memo obtained by Global News.

We asked both parties for an interview today, and each declined.
