by the teachers' grid than by the proaont -
agreement. This in itself does not appear to be
` .
entirely out of line butthe implications on future
boards should.be noted.
• •
.
What does this mean to Huron County?' It means that due to the fact we have 289 secondary teachers and 335 elementary
teachers who are preoent|Y or will be .degree' people: an increase in salaries paid of 604 x $9'300 = $5,G17'200-o»a,the next 15
years, without evernego'tiating any further increase.
. / .
,The teaohens,arguo that Huron \/says very little of lhis due to our grantoynt We admit we enjoy a good grant structure
. which was, given to us because of our low ax'sesonnenc area. We do not believe this is a valid
poin¢ to grant increases which Will
evantUa||y stagger the Provin'cia|economy and cause taxoatd be a very grave Problem for many Iess fortunate people to pay.
_
As evidence of ability topay, We cite the tax arrears in rural 'Huron Countywhich are upto$337,483''an increase of about 15.
per cent over the previous year.
Another point at issue is Retirement Gratuity.The nae'peaks for itself.
Every teacher in^HmronCounty is given 20 dayS per year to be 'sick without losing pay. These days, if not used for sickness,
accumulate until 200 days are accumulated: Due to the fact that some teachefs do notget sick they endup^theirt000hing'oaroom
vvith-20Q-nr more accumulated days. It has been the aQreernont, that, a8'8 reward for not being^xinlc a.teochorInQyuse the 200 days
or fraction thereof to collect up to 1/2 year's salary upon retirement.
'
The board felt due to othertretirement
benefits this was unnecessary. Take the eX4np|e of the Category IV teacher above who
upon retiringat maximum receives a Superannuation which was partially paid for by himself 'and p
for by the /
Province, 6Y6fraxn-ilach, which s computed by taking 70% of the average of his best 7 years salary, giving him apension of $9809
per yearplus his old age pension pips his Canada Pension plus the lump mum payment of $7,800 for retirement gretuitiAa.
The Board 'believes this lump ayment is unnecessary and also 'feels they were in error -in attempting to—take away the
Retirement Gratuity withbut prior warning, but ,instead should have attempted to phase it -out, over a period of years.„
Consequent the Board in its last offer (5.5 per cent increase) re'ino atmd th8 retirement gratuity, oOntingentVporl the ucooptanue
by the teachers of the salary nf er.
fhe
Board also disagrees with -increasing the subsidy payment Yronn'50 per cent tO 66-2/3 per,cent on 0.H.S.I.P., 0.HJSJC. and
Group Life Insurance. It also does not seer tha.uotifiootidn for including a new benefit item — Blue Cross Extended Hen|thP|on.
Many Other Boards in the Province are paying these requests by Ilhe teachers. We in Hui'on feel a responsibility to keep taxes in line
