CLOSED MONDAYS Teachers resign BY WILMA OKE The resignations of 145 Huron -Perth Roman Catholie separate school teachers Were handed in to the Huron' -Perth County Roman Catholic separate school board office last Friday, November 30, it was reponed by Gary Birc mingham, Stratford, com- munications officer for the teachers. He said Sister Audrey Dumouchelle of Stratford, president of The Hilen-ri-Perth Unit, Ontario English Catholic Teachers' Association, delivered the resignations which had been collected from the teachers on November 13, when salary negotiations bet- ween the teachers and the board had broken down. Mr. Birmingham said the Huron -Perth County Roman Catholic Sertarate School Board refuses to recognize the teachers' right to bargain col)ectively. His charges followed the appearancein the Beacon -Herald of Stratford Friday of a school board adver- tisement outlining proposals said to have been agreed upon at a meeting Wednesday night. Mr. Birmingham stated when the ,local teachers negotiating team reached an impassethe provincial representatives of the teachers' organization were called in to negotiate with the board's negotiating committee. He explained that the prov cial representatives offered to meet the board on November 23, 24 or 25. The board replied that it was not able to meet on those dates and asked to meet with the local negotiating team on those dates. The provincial association then notified the board again that negotiations were in its hands and suggested December 3 or 4 for a meeting. He said on November 29 the board attempted to mail a salary proposal to each teacher, thereby by-passing provincial negotiators. The teachers refused to accept the proposals and mailed them back to the board and asked the board to go through proper negotiating channels. On Friday Sister Audrey .then delivered the teacher,s' resignations to the board office. Mr. Birmingham said the 9.8 per cent published in the board's advertisement in this paper, paid for at the expense of the taxpayers, is an ob- viously inflated paper figure. This information showed the following: For Level I teachers, minimum experience, $300 in- crease, which is 5.4 per cent and teachers with maximum experience, $400 increase, which is 5.2 per cent. For Level II teachers, minimum, $300 increase -5 per cent and maximum $400 in- crease -4.2 per cent. For Level III teachers, minimum, $100-1.5, per cent and maximum, $300-8.5 per cent. For Level IV teachers,. minumum, $200-2Y7 per cent and maximum, $1,000-8 per cent increase. For Level V teachers, minimum $300-4 per cent in- crease, and $1,000-7.7 per cent. For Level VI teachers, minimum $200-2.3 per cent increase and maximum_ $1,300-9.8 per cent increase. Mr. Birmingham stated there are no teachers in Huron -Perth separate school system in Level 7. He said the majority of teachers are in Levels 1 to 4. It is In t.hese levels that the smallest increases are being of- fereds He added that 37 per cent of the te-achers do not receive an experience increment which has obviously been in- cluded in 9.8 per cent. He Said the principals' offer of $25 per classroom is inadequate, taking into con- sideration the fact that the principals have not received an increase in responsibility allowance for five years, also the fact of the greater respon- sibilitxl, which has been placed on the principals. ,at Monaghan of Stratford, chairman of the teachers' negotiating team, said the ad- verti*Sement placed in the press by the board is designed for political reasons. It is an at- tempt on the part of the board to seek sympathy and support from the catholic ta.:payers, and added, that all separate school teachers are separate school supporters. Mr. Monaghan said the board has not made any definite effort to reach a mutual agreement with its teachers since March 27, 1973. He said in June the hoard's negotiating committee stated th they had made their final offe of 3.4 per cent to its teach rs. However, the credib .ty of the board must now questioned as --is in- - dicated its advertisement as it is offe ng a 9.8 per cent creHaes se. e has been said actual fact when the camou removed from this paper figure the board is really offering the teachers an increase of ap- proximately 4.5 per cent. Since last June when the board stated that it had made its final offer, he said, it was not in fact a final offer but an attempt to cheat the teachers of their just salaries as supplied to the ' nard by the ministry of educa. He concluded that the shabby attitude of 'the board to the teachers is reflec- ted in the present impasse. In various other areas of On- tario MR58 resignations by about 7,000 teachers were Rib- . mitted Friday to back demands for higher pay and , better working e e cornds ons* could leave thousands of students without classes after the Christ- mas holidays unless favorable contracts tire' negotiated with school boards.
