Council backs no strike resolution
STANLEY TWP.-Council endorsed a
resolution received from the Town of
Durham which proposes to amend the
School Boards and Teachers Collective
Negotiations Act. By doing this, teachers
will not be permitted to strike, walk out or
be locked out by the boards.
The letter from Durham was prompted by
the strike in Wellington and Grey Counties.
During their October 21 meeting, Durham
council passed a resolution requesting the
Province of Ontario to declare teachers pro -
'vide an essential service and should be pro-
hibited from striking or walking out and
school boards should not be permitted to

lock them out. In the event that contract
disputes cannot be resolved; binding ar-
bitrations should be provided.
"The education of children is seriously
jeopardized by lengthy teachers' strikes,"
noted the ,resolution. "Certain classes of
workers are considered to provide essential
services and are not permitted to strike, but
are subject to binding arbitration."
A copy of the endorsement is to be sent to
the Premier of Ontario, the Ministry of
Education, the Association of Municipalities
of Ontario and Jack Riddell, MPP for

PUC bill questioned by' council
CLINTON - Taxpayers frequently com-
plain about the high cost of services, taxes
and billings from the town. Council does too.
After several months of debate and ques-
tion, council reluctantly agreed to pay a
Public Utilities Commission, (PUC) bill for
$825 The bill was for work done last June by
a PUC crew to install five signs for the
town's industrial park promotion.
Councillor Charlie Burgess noted, "It;s a
shame. they (the PUC) could charge this
much for a project' done for the betterment
of the town."
He said that the high installation costs and
billing to the town "showed a lack of co-
operation" on the part of the PUC.
"I didn't know they ( the .PUC) wanted to
