Victor Jamieson 887-6858 The teachers have asked for experienced provincial negotiators and for other provincial staff sup­ port and advice in the long-stand­ ing dispute, saying that they have no alternative but to request this type of assistance. Public elementary school teach­ ers in Huron County have been without a collective agreement with the HCBE since September, 1988. The major outstanding issues are compensation, class size and pre­ paration time. Adequate working conditions for teachers mean good learning conditions for children, the teachers say. The Education Relations Com­ mission has appointed David Whitehead of St. Catharines as mediator in the negotiations, and it is expected that a date for media­ tion will be announced shortly. The FWTAO-Huron says it is optimistic that the change in format will result in a settlement in the near future. ANGLICAN CHURCH OF CANADA Feb. 5/89 Transfiguration - Holy Eucharist Rev.
