Fact-finding
report
made public
The Huron County Board of
Education and its elementary teach
ers have been negotiating a collec
tive agreement since early last
March. Their previous agreement
expired on August 31, 1988.
Some progress has been made,
but the parties have been unable to
resolve major issues such as prepar
ation time and staffing, salary and
benefits.
Two attempts at mediation with
Doug Lawless as mediator were held
in May. A Fact-finding hearing with
Helen Finley as Fact-finder was held
in September.
During the period of confidential
ity of the Fact-finding Report, the
Board was unwilling to meet with the
teachers, citing the upcoming muni
cipal elections as delaying further
negotiations, according to Phil
Parsons, president of the Ontario
Public School Teachers’ Federation-
Huron.
The sides are not so far apart that
settlement is out of the question,
Mr. Parsons said.
