Agg.-Chilliwack _10 4 144 94 GRAND TOTAL 1058 _993 CO DEMAND BARGAINING RIGHTS — Paws @ Teachers angry over attempt to impose compulsory arbitration B.C. teachers are angry. They are angered by the arrogant action of B.C. School Trustees who, in bypassing the bargaining table by their use of paid agents whose only instructions appear to be to ‘Say No’, are thereby threatening not. only to destroy the already weak bargaining position of teachers, but also to jeopardize major improvements in education gained over the past few years. They are angered by the provincial government's new action for under it, if a school board’s budget exceeds 110 percent of the previous year’s approved expenditures, that board must then resort ‘to referenda. Last year, seven out of nine referenda were turned down by ratepayers. In other words, any excess costs will. in the long run, come out of the pockets of the teachers. Teachers are none too happy . — about the lukewarm leadership being given by their paid officials and -provincial salary committee. When 5,000 teachers met on 48 hours notice November 13 in Vancouver's Agrodome, Charles Ovans, BCTF general secretary, could not but help feeling the chill disapproval and hearing the cries of protest when he told them that the current situation “warrants protest but it is not desperate.” He said that the executivé committee had decided to ask teachers to refrain from tactics of questionable morality, such as booking off sick, or of questionable legality, such as strike action. Ovans and the executive misjudged the mood of the teachers which was apparent when they gave a_ standing ovation to the West Vancouver Teachers when their Agreements Committee chairman, Mike Zlotnik reported on the united actions of the teachers in that district. Zlotnik reported that after the teachers held a march, the letters to most of the teachers suggesting that the teachers’ committee was made up of radicals and did not have the support of the teachers. The board, found out dif- ferently when every teacher went to the board meeting that night to. return the letters received, but with the notation at the bottom that the teacher did, indeed, support the com- mittee. Since that time, nego- tiations have broken down, the teachers are boycotting arbi- tration and will return to the school board any boost awarded — by an arbitration board. Vancouver secondary teachers have voted to stop participation in extra-curricular activities if there is no settlement by Nov. 28. One hundred Fort St. John teachers staged a mass demonstration to protest actions by their board, including a school shift system involving 1,500 students . Port Alberni teachers asked for the resignation of the school board. Nelson teachers rejected a last minute offer by their own negotiating comm- _ ittee. Kamloops teachers wired the meeting in the Agrodome that they too, would have attended except for distance. Similar telegrams poured in from other districts and groups of teachers who are finding that learning conditions are steadily worsening. Burnaby teachers scored a breakthrough when, after 1,000 teachers decided to hold their next meeting at the board office, the board agreed to negotiate a working conditions contract, a significant advance which should pave the way for other districts in the province. bBecause of the unpopular action of the Burnaby board in terminationg the complete contract, board member Caroline Prior resigned and two other board members, Beth Starkey and chairman James Daly, were defeated when they sought renomination from the Burnaby Citizens Assn. who backed them last year. ; When the 5,000 teachers at the Agrodome’ meeting voted unanimously to publicly censure trustees who were abusing negotiating procedures and were bargaining in bad faith, they voted also to have the BCTF set up an Action Committee to investigate and recommend to the 1970 Annual General Meeting plans for bringing about changes in the Public Schools Act that will guarantee teachers having the same bargaining rights as ~ other citizens of this province. Teachers are prepared for strike action. GEN.
