Mohammed, president of the Conestoga branch of the Civil Servants Association of 'Ontario, iCSAOI, representing' the teachers, said .during,•inter- -view last week that the teachers would strike,y'h ch'is forbidden by, 'provincial : law governing civil servants. H•e is a- member, of the teachers'° eight-man,negotiating team which began meetings Tuesday. in ""1''oron•t•o- in preparation • for negotiations 'with the government, .11 the government refuses . to negotiate, then teachers will ' prepare to strike, he said. He outlined teacher''deniands which ' include: A 5 per cent . wage' increase ,,,over . two years; Flexible costs :of living' con- siderations; Reasonable assurances for teachers of job • security,' . Salary parady , for libraria'ns with teachers; Two months vacations for councillors. ; • The teachers have worked without 'a contract since Sep' t, :b 10973. ' Mr. ' Mohammed said the .general: mood among teachers in '''community colleges, in-. cluding Conestoga's Waterloo - Center where he teaches; 'is one of hope that a •settlement will be reached. He stressed, howeverb that teachers are will'ing•,,to, strike. Jean Palston�, who relays CSAO news from Mr. Moham- med ,to teachers at the Clinton Center, echoed his feelings about the mood of the teachers. She said instructors there want to settle with the govern- ment but they, are' willing .to stop teaching. Teacher's 'realize their pesponsibilities to "students but the rising cost of'living makes the government offer • un- sati`sfactoi, she said. • ° 'The government's latest offer was made June 18, It consisted of a - seven per cent raise, retroactive to September ,..1, 1913; a nine per cent increase effective §eptember 1, 174; an increase from $4t0 • to $500 in the annual merit-increhient for 1974-,75; and a 1hOp_ atm Payment ,of $275,x; ^;. Over`,* two-year confract this would give teachers a 19.7,4 er cent increase in pay, according to press release 'from the On- tario,Council of Regents, which govrris the affairs of come' muriity colleges. '° Contract talks.betwee coun,,, cil representatives and teachers have. had -no, long, troubled history, Mr. Mohammed said,, They began °in May, 1973. Af- ter talks got nowhere, the two parties went to a-, prov•ncial",;A mediator. - the gnvernm:e°nt stood firm on its offer which teac}iers rejected. Next they went hc.for e° an a;r- bitration board. There r, •were two government appointees and one teacher on the board. "Wet, got . rooked'," Mr: Mohamsaid: • Teach disagreed with having a board weighted to the government's side. As a result they' picketted the arbitration "' board hearing, demanding that ,each side appoint a member of the board. Inturn, these mem- bers 'would "decide on a chair- man. The government balked 'bu,t teachers voted t'o avoid' ar, bitration. The government relented and the two'sides went into six days and nights or negotiations which proved. fruitless when government walked out atter teachers said lump sum payments weren't necessary if they.cauld be given assurances` of continuing ern, ployment. - One issue won by teachers, was the withholding by govern- ment of union dues- paid by Paper Leafs lose again; we think? nursing instructors. Govern- ment said that the dues would be given to the union onlyafter a settlement had been reached. Teachers took legal action against what ` Mr, Mohammed described as common theft. Threatened with being taken to court, the government g ve the money back to the teachers' union- with accumulated in- terest. Mr. Mohammed._ said that Conestoga College has budgeted a 34, per cent. total in- crease for teachers with a $ , 119,000 surplus. This is for a 10 per cent •. raise, ' 10, percent retroactive .pay and •a 14 per cent increase in fringe benefits. Other. community ' colleges have similar amounts of money in their budgets, he said.
