Teachers agree to one less increase •from page 1 contract agreement would override the' col- lective agree.ment. 'Inglis said both patties signed the individual agreements, and the' conditions did not change the nature of those deals. But Ciavaglia disagreed, and ,suggested the 'board was trying to take away the teachers' right to negotiate freely after the social contract is over. Under the social contract, the teachers have agreed to forego one annual increase, even though the collective agreement says those increases shall be allowed every year for teachers not yet at maximum salary. Confusion erupted after the trus- tees' vote. Teachers negotiator Paul Douglas walked out at one point, clearly upset• with the board's ac- tion. Inglis said the board's con- ditions were intended to make the• agreements clear to both parties. But Ciavaglia said if the board's intent was to roll the social contract cuts into the collective agreement, teachers would have rejected the deal in their vote. . For the next several hours trus- tees, teachers' federation represen- tatives" and administration tried to sort out whether the two sides had a deal or not. After a series of face to face meetings, phone calls and faxes, both sides reached an agreement near midnight. The con- ditions .imposed .by trustees were dropped, and teachers responded. by lifting the work to rule campaign effective immediately. "It was worked out to- the satis- faction of them and us, so (the condition) was dropped," Inglis said Saturday morning. "All we needed was clarification of onc.pointof the contract." Inglis also said it was "just the teachers interpretation" that the board intended to roll the increment lost under the social contract into the collective agreement "It's been so unnecessary," said Douglas of the confusion caused by . the ' board's attempt to add con- ' ditions to the contract deal. "It's crazy. There was no rationale." The four year , contract finally signed Friday is retroactive to Sep` tember 1992 and withholds one annual incrementfor teachers during the social contract period. Teachers will also take nine unpaid leave days in the. next two years to meet their. social contract targets. • • Other terms of the new collective agreement grade nine class size at 26 pupils. Teachers will get a.0.3 per cern increase in their salary grid as of June 1993, along with a 0.2 per cent increase in the form of•a one-time lump sum payment. "It doesn't really amount to much money but it allows teachers to. move along." Inglis said. A review of procedures on staf- fing policy led to adoption of a county -wide seniority list for secon- dary teachers. When transfers or cuts have to be made, they will be made on the basis of the county- wide list. "This is something the federation asked for," Inglis'said, noting that in the past surplus staffing was determined on a individual school basis.. The contract also increases dental benefits, provides an extra half-time leave for Federation business with members paying the full cost, and states that' the teacl'ers will withdraw two grievances. The social contract agreement was considered by both sides to .be a 'major stumbling block and a complicating issue in the negotiating process. The agreement approved Friday gives teachers two, of the three annual increases• they would normally receive under the terms of the collective agreement. Earlier, the board estimated it would cost taxpayers SI million to continue raises for young teachers not yet at maximum salary, but Inglis said the cost will not be that high for the two increases now being allowed. "These are being paid for by the teachers with some help form the board," Inglis said: Teachers will pay their ,share of the cost by giving up funding for professional development days, cutting an additional three teachers by the end of the social contract, and taking the nine Rae days spread over this •school year and the next. Inglis did not offer an estimate of the board's cost for- the contract, saying it depends on the number of jobs cut through attrition by August 1996. But he suggested the nine unpaid leave days combined with the two the board has already had will be enough to meet its social contract target for the .secondary level: The ' Brookside Broadcast by Melissa Brown, Tanya Schultz, Chad Foster - and Autumn Stephens .
