Federation asks principals
to support striking teaches
Elementary school men prin-
cipalsand vice -principals wilfl be
asked to donate their salaries to
their federations and live on
strike pay if the teachers in their
schools go on strike.
Delegates to the Ontario Public
School Men Teachers' Federation
(OPSMTF) annual assembly
voted last week in Toronto to
start a province -wide intensive
campaign to convince all prin-
cipals and vice -principals to give
certificates of intent that they
will give up a day's pay for every
day their teachers are on strike.
The average annual salary of a
public elementary school prin-
cipal in the province is about
$20,000.
Under new legislation which
gives teachers the right to strike,
principals and vice -principals
are prohibited from joining the
strike.
The OPSMTF policy, produced
by Howard Moscoe of North
York, said that principals and
vice -principals who donate their
salaries to federation coffers will
also be eligible for strike pay on
the same basis as those teachers
who have walked out.
The assembly also approved
publication to the members of the
district at the time of a legally
declared strike, a list of the print
cipals and vice -principals who
submitted a certificate of intent.
Of the 14,000 members in the
federation, about 3,500 or 24 per
cent are principals and vice -prin-
cipals.
The men's assembly also ap-
proved in principle a stike policy
already endorsed by the annual
assembly off women teachers.
The policy laid out the position
under which provincial federa-
tion support will be given to a
strike by a local district.
It includes the provision that
teachers who don't join in a strike
may be subject to disciplinary
action.
The women delegates at their
meeting voted to put $50 a head
into a strike fund.
About 530 FWTAO delegates,
representing about 31,000 women
teachers, voted to increase the
annual fee from $100 to $150, the
extra $50 going into the strike
fund.
The delegates had voted earlier
in the assembly to transfer $1
million from the prfstesSiOnla
services Bund to the stria f
The fee increase will P
a' ut $1.5 million to bring .the
total to $2.$ million.
