(photo by Patrick Raftis ) • Employment ternis set for BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE , The Huron County Board of Education set the terms of employment for its secondary school teachers. The terms for the over 200 teachers -were approved at the board's Januarymeeting and presented to the teachers on January 11. Although no collective agreement has been reached, the terms of employment set down the teachers working conditions until a collective agreement is negotiated. "The terms are consistent with items agreed to in negotiations plus the major recommendations in the fact-finding report. These recommendations included a monetary increase of four per cent on the salary grid plus increment. This increase is identical to agreements negotiated with other teacher groups and all other employee groups," states a memo from school board chairman Eugene Frayne. - - - - The othermajor change is tbe,pro.YWn an additional halftime special education teacher at Seaforth District High School. There have been 4.5 teaching positions for speciai educationin Huron's high schools, andnowthe number will increase to five. "This commitment is an increase and replaces the existing special education com- plement. The terms of employment have also clarified existing roles and workable procedures for the allocation of staff and the staff improvement plan,". states the chair- man's memo. • , 'Teather 'Goderich said the teachers are going • through the terms of employment document (40 pages in length). before they make any, decisions on how they'll react. • "We do not negotiate in the press," said Mrs. Weary. "Negotiations take place across the table, not m the media. Maybe e board wants to work that way but we don't work that way." ' Mrs. Weary said the teachers were in- structed by the high school principals to be at the January 11 meeting, At least one representative from each school as well as some trustees were in attendance at the meeting. Besides the memo and a copy of the terms of employment document, the teachers also received a cheque "which reflects the in- crease in salary from September •to December minus the required deductions". The teachers' negotiator said as far as she knows the teachers are cashing the cheques and no collective action is being taken in regards to the terms of employment. 'This has antagonized the teachers un- • neeessarily;'said Mrs.Weary,- however sho - • was optimistic that eventually a collective agreement will be signed. , This isn't the firstAime the board has set down the terms of employment for its secon- dary school teachers. Three years Ago,.m . January of 1982 the board set down the terms of employment for the 198142 school year. Later that year, a two-year collective agreement was signed effective September 1981 to August 1983. The .1983-84 collective agreement-- fell ander Aber-Vrovineial. ,control year and teachers automatically had -a five per cent increase. The terms of employment come after the fact finder's report has been public for 60 • ••••• Winners announced in 'Bad Day' competition Three winners have been announced as part of The Theatre Circle's "bad day on the job" competition. The contest was announced last fall by the theatre company as part of its plans to col- lect stories of work experiences for a new comedy play T.G.I.F. (Thank God It's Fri- day) being written by Uwe Meyer and Keith Roulston. The play deals with the problems four people have in their jobs. The play will be presented April 18 ,to 20 at Blyth Memorial Hall before going on tour to Petrolia, Chatham and Owen Sound. Mrs. Erland Greenwood of Listowel, Karen Wyld of Ripley and Paul Carroll of Seaforth were named co -winners of the prize. Theirs were among a dozen very fun- ny stories submitted about work ex- periences. "We • felt the three stories 064,7m777,4"44tr,ro • rep,rn,47,04,444.44proe4, selected gave the most opportunity tor transfer to the stage," explained Roulston. "While all the stories were very humourous, many would be impossible to translate to the stage without losing most of the humour. As the play changes in writing and - rewriting, even these may not appear in the final product but they've given us in- spiration along the way. . Each of the winners will receive two sets of vouchers for the upcoming season *hich begins with a production of the comedy - thriller One Night Stand on March 7-9, The subscription campaign for the upcom- ing season is now underway. Volunteers will be selling the subscription voucher packages at $12 for two plays or they are available from the Theatre Circle box of- fice: Box 429 Blyth, Ont. or by calling 523- 9713.
