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.
