Help You Decide on Your Memorial Requirements PHONE: EXETER 235-0620 (*) 1: • I • Need more public support, Riddell tplis.. teachers Teachers should have the right to strike' "as a last resort" but many people in Ontario are "skeptical to the point of disbelief when teachers maintain that their real "concerns are for the quality of education in our schools, and not exclusively for their own well being". Huron. MPP Jack Riddell told 100 teachers at the Legion in Seaforth Tuesday night. The Dashwood area farmer, a former high school teacher and' Huron Board of Education trustee was speaking at the winter meeting of the Huron-Perth unit of the Ontario English Catholic Teachers Association. Mr. Riddell told his audience that although teachers are concerned with quality of education, much of the public sees teachers as "overpaid and underworked". "You must be concerned about these prejudices", he said. "Teachers must convince the people of this province that although they do meet the standards •of professionalism, they should have the same rights as other people working in areas which are not essential to the health and safety of society". A single professional teacher's organization rather than the present fragmented high school elementary , men,- women, R.C. - Protestant divisions would enhance teachers' image, Mr. Riddell said. "The time has come for teachers to decide whether they are professionals or organized labour", Mr. Riddell said. Ontario teachers should acquaint the public with their excellent record of responsibility; he said.. Although collective agreements between teachers and boards have been negotiated since 1944 schools have been closed by disputes in only a relatively few cases. If the right to strike is denied, employees must be assured of fair settlements through compulsory arbitration, Mr. Riddell said. Provincial ceilings on local board expenditures make this impossible, he added. "School boards must ' how justify their financial activities to Tom Wells instead of to the people who ,elected them. They have no freedom in their contract negotiations with teachers." Many taxpayers support Education Minister Wells and his attempts to impose educational spending ceilings on local boards as well as on province wide administrative costs which have risen much more than have local board expenditures, Mr. Riddell said. Mr. Riddell rapped the Education Minister's action in bringing in Bill 274 last December in an attempt to prevent teachers from resigning. "It was like calling the fire truck before there was a fire", he said. Wells' actions provoked "a new tension in school board- teacher relations", he added. Teachers and trustees have always been able to settle their disputes themselves and most school boards would have settled , on their own in December had the province not interfered, Mr. Riddell said. The Huron M.P.P. said Bill 274 was withdrawn because of the massive opposition to it. "I can't believe they'll bring in Bill 275 in it's present form, I think there will be some amendments". Mr. Riddell said both teachers and trustees oppose Bill 275 and .said Wells has "undermined local autonomy of school boards and has succeeded in politicizing teachers as never before in history". "Mr. Wells policies have caused unprecedented disruptions in teachers' contract negotiations and he has lost his credibility as Minister •of Education, Mr. Riddell said. TheLiberals oppose many of the Bill's provisions and will work to make changes in the legislature, Mr. Riddell assured his audience, He supports keeping teacher board negotiation a local concern, and rejects the idea of having principals and teachers in separate federations. Riddel said working conditions and jobs security should be negotiable in teacher-board contracts. Trustees as well as teachers, may have to resign in confrontation situations such as the York County teacher-school board dispute where • an agreement can't be reached by any means, Mr. Riddell said in answer to, an audience question. "Then cotnpulsory arbitration can be used to get the children back into the schools". One teacher asked the MPP if he felt that school boar d trustees should be required to have qualifications for their jobs just as teachers need a degree and a year at Teachers College for theirs. Mr. Riddell said that sometimes self-educated people can be "head and shoulders" above others who have degrees. ' "If a man chooses to run and the people feet ,he's qualified, they have the choice of electing him." He found when he was a., Board of Education member, Mr, Riddell said, that the majority of trustees were interested in education and in teachers. Commenting on Mr, Riddell's advice about teachers needing to work for more public support,Jim Carey of London, past president of the OECTA who attended the dinner meeting said his association gave , this high priority. "Teachers have to let parents kn6W that they have a profeSsional service to offer to the community" Mr. Carey said. For too long teachers have , done whatever is asked of them. Education is a service in whii1 working conditions and wages kg important. "A doctor would operate_ in unsanitary working' conditions" Mr. Carey said, The OECTA official said "parents should be more involve in the education process to ens% that responsible people run h board positions". Mr. Carey said he would strongly support school board meetings open to tht public, perhaps held on a rotalkig basis in various schools, "And the ratepayers should see till they attend the meetings.
