40 per cent of the salary before
December and 60 per cent of the
salary be paid between January and
June. The factfinder recommends
adopting this proposal providing
teachers are given the option of the
proposed pay schedule or the 26
instalment pay schedule.
The teachers have proposed
"sweeping changes" to a
management clause which would
incorporate legislation, as a basis
for grievance, into the agreement.
The management clause governs the
conditions under which a teacher
may be suspended, dismissed,
demoted or transferred. The clauses
deal with subjects of health and
safety, medical procedures,
employment equity, sexual
harassment, and race relations.
These changes are a marked depar-
ture from the current agreement.
According to the factfinder, the
objective of proposed changes to
the existing clauses is a substantial
lessening of management rights
provisions.
The report states "many days and
weeks will be consumed with trying
Negotiations dealing with [these
clauses]" and recommends a com-
mittee structure to attempt to solve
these issues.
The teachers prefer a one-year
instead of a two-year agreement and
the board is flexible on this issue.
A misunderstanding about the
interpretation of the last agreement
is the source of controversy over
planning time. Teachers in the
Huron -Perth have one hour out of
the day where they are not teaching.
Ontario legislation guarantees
teachers 40 uninterrupted minutes
for lunch. Some teachers
understood the extra 20 minutes
was for lunch while the board con-
sidered it as planning time. Some
teachers use the extra time involved
in student extra -curriculum ac-
tivities.
The teachers are asking for
benefits while on maternity or
adoption leave. A few companies
and boards in the province offer to
provide a new parent with a finan-
cial benefit besides unemployment
collected while on leave. The
benefit brings the new parent's
income, while on leave closer, to
income brought home while that
person is working.
Teachers produced statistical
information to show the number of
agreements including some paid
leave and/or benefit subsidization
during maternity leave is increasing
in the province in the educational
sector. In the conclusion of the
factfinder, Bastedo admitted
progress was made towards an
agreement.
"This progress was due for the
most part to the evident willingness
of each party to make genuine
compromises in order to attempt to
find solutions which are relevant to
the future." the factfinder statied.

THIS WEEK
YOU ASKED
THE GST
CONSUMER
INFORMATION
OFFICE.
Q: I'm thinking of buying a new car in 1991.
How will the proposed GST affect prices?
A: The outgoing Federal Sales Tax (FST) is
now part of the price of new cars. So, while
they will be fully taxed at 7% in 1991,
the expected effect of replacing the FST
with the GST on the average $22,000
mid-size car is a reduction of around $850.
Q: My son has figured out it will cost $500 in
lumber to build a dock at our cottage if he
bought it now. How much will that lumber
cost with the proposed GST?
A: You can expect to pay about $512 for
that same amount of lumber for personal
use based solely on the changeover from
the FST to the GST.
Q: 1 know the proposed GST won't apply to city
bus fares but 1 take the commuter train to uktrk.
Will I have to pay GST?
A: No. Daily commuter trains are considered
a municipal transit service, so fares are
exempt from GST.
We're here to answer your questions about how the
GST will affect prices. Call us toll-free Monday
to Friday 9am-9pm. Ask for your free copy of the
"Consumer's Guide to the GST and Prices'.'
The answer is to call
your GST Consumer Information Office.
