The contract between.. the teachers’ union and the school district. requires all distri-c ‘teachers’ to join the union by that deadline as a condition of employment. Three teachers ‘have so far asked the Industrial ‘Relations Council for exemp- tion from the union on religious grounds, “Ine succeeded, one failed, and another is yet to be heard. . Most of the non-union teachers -object to the pro- choice abortion stance of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation, the parent body of the local teachers’ union, and oppose teacher strikes and job action. But school board chairman Edna Cooper said last week the school district is bound to the contract and cannot ignore the clause requiring membership. Likewise, she said, it would be futile to try to renegotiate the clause in the current round of talks. “Although | they feel we should renegotiate it, they're only seven per cent of. the Trial adjourned TERRACE — The trial of ‘a Terrace man charged with second-degree murder in the 1988 death of 17-year-old Crystal Hogg has been adjourn- ed until May 28. _.
