That coverage, centered mainly on one or more comments made outside the meeting, has affected public perception of the intent of OSSTF to deal with a grow- ing problem for Ontario's 35,000 secondary school teachers -- negotiating collective agreements with 79 school boards across the province. In the majority of collect- ive agreements, settlements are reached through a bargaining process defined in provincial legislation. However, in areas of the province which have exper- ienced strikes and lockouts, some school boards have taken note of the fact teach- ers spend considerable time and effort in quickly restor- ing normal operations after strikes have been concluded. It's to the teachers' credit and a reflection of their professional integrity that they do so. The difficulty for teachers is that by minimizing the negative aspect of strikes for the good of their students, they may well be encourag- ing trustees to create strike situations. To put it another way, because trustees do not see strikes as having a serious effect on their system, they seem, in some cases, to be engineering confrontation with their employee groups in order to gain an advantage at the bargaining table. If that is the case ( and the point can be argued in many areas where bargaining is now in a crisis situation ) then that situation must be stopped. That is the concern raised by teachers last- week and that is the reason why teachers are prepared to consider strong and unusual action to draw public attention to an inequity in collective bargaining between teachers and trustees. There is legislation which provides for the orderly development of negotiations even if that development involves sanctions by either side. However, that legis- lation is predicated upon the serious intent of teachers and trustees to bargain in good faith and avoid confrontation wherever and whenever possible. If either of the parties subverts that intent, prolonged strikes which have negative effects on students, result. Sincerely, Margaret Wilson, President, OSSTF Toronto Children's Aid Society review (From page 5) the Review Committee made the following findings and I' quote: 1. "That the Society in preparing its estimates of expenditures had done so in a most responsible and dili- gent manner. The restraint in spending requested by the Ministry of all Societies in Ontario was apparent, in detailed study of the budget of the Durham Society for 1979." 2. '""That by the consent of both the Society and the ring recommendation by the Review Committee was whether or not the Society should be permitted an increase of $19,300 over and above the allowable 5 per cent in Salaries and Benefits item of estimates of expendi- tures."

This dif- ference of $19,300 then, represents the extra 2 per cent over what the Ministry suggested). 3. "That failure to comply with the Society's request for the additional $19,300 could aggravate an already diffi- cult salary and morale prob- lem the Society faces with its . employees. The result could lead to a deterioration of mandatory services detri- mental to the public in the area served by the Society." The Committee went on to recommend to the Minister that he allow the increase of $19,300 requested by the Children's Aid Society. After studying the report by his Review Committee, the Minister decided not to accept the recommendation of the Committee. Is democracy still working in the Province of Ontario? Respectfully, E.W. Morrison, Board Member, Durham oo Region, Children's Aid Society Seaton project (From page 2) Crown company set up to assemble and service the lands and sell them to private developers. Just what will happen to 10,000 hectares of land acquired by the government is not certain, but it appears as if no decision will be made for another five years. The announcement that project will be put on the PLlrirlomloe alan lam Tan lan lon lam am [ae goon | an {ow [an Jan on [am lam lan lan an [on an an an ae a ae] an an on on oe a oe) shelf for five years is some- thing of an embarrassment for the provincial govern- ment, with opponents claim- ing that the whole scheme was a giant waste of tax- payers money. The People or Planes organization which has opposed the project since the outset, wants the land returned to agricultural purposes.
