Mediation talks begin
between school board
and teachers union
-CLINTON --- With the: first day of the school ycal coming up and a
teachers strike irpussIble threat: negotiations between the Alun Maitland
District Schixil Board and.the teachers are continuing- •
Jeanne Dionne. the board's elle! negutI.Il. • said meetings wall. a ion
tahalor will start I4)d:n and continue Ill uughuul the week She said.she is
always optimistic about negotiation. and know. Ihel( will an ager( •
stent because Chet( simply Inas to be one -
• 'ilio board and the union have had lour mecung'. dui uh' Ilii sulumei.
Dionne said. and she remaihs hopeful a deal wilt be , leached. '
"At this moment. 1 have reason to belies,- Icachetswill he inthe class-,
roosts,'.':next week. Dionhe said
Despite her opttsisri. Dionne conn edc s Ihat the issue 01 a strike is (nit•
serious now because the collective haig:unliiu agticlnent between the
board and the Ontario Secondary School "'cache! s` 1•txlc1,1
Ion (OSSiF) expired Aug. 31.
The stain issue rs the provincial guverninen1 s Bill I 6
which. if implemented. will tiller Iwo Thirds oI sec
undary teachers to work 1,250 minutes a week, a .tet
per cent incrc.isc 1p workload. While teacher. now
teach six courses out of eight (ur three per penlesier) 1
Iran. will be forced to teach sec en 01 eight touues a.•
cording Io.Bill 160. As a result oI the increase. Mom. al
lccted teachers will teach one •semester 1 year
in V.11101
"'y1►i'
they arc in the classroomall day.
According to Dionne. the board can't negotiate with OSSI'1- un the. rs
sue because the Bill is provincially legislated and the board has.to comply
with it. She did say there are talks going on at II. provincial level in an at-
tempt to deal with the work load increase. • -
One possibility resulting from OSSTEs complaints •ahoul an ilk:leased
workload is that teachers will begin working to rule. effectively cline
mating exita-curricular activities such as sports. Dionne said.
Work to rule would also mean teachers would only get to school im-
mediately before. classes begin and would leave when sasses are finished.
She added the threat of work to rule is "sCrious" because.• if implemented
it will affect students. • •
-
Dionne couldn't give any details about local negotiations, explaining the
board "doesn't negotiate through the media."
While -negotiators with the local OSSTF were contacted by the T -A..
nuns could bc reached for comment at press tithe.
