Box 15, Port Perry, Ontario LOB 1NO. cnusnan - LLL LLL LL 1 1] Teachers reject contract Durham Region elementary school teachers have voted overwhelmingly to reject the latest contract offer from the Board of Education, but there is cautious optimism from both sides that further negotiations will be held "this week. In a secret ballot April 24 supervised by the ~ Education Relations Committee, the vote was 92.2 per cent against the contract offer. There were 1553 ballots cast out a total of 1687 teachers eligible to vote on the offer. Durham Board of Education chairman Ruth Lafarga said following the announce- ment of the results last Thursday that she was "disappointed, but not surprised." However, she added she is hopeful that fur- ther meetings between negotiators for the Board and the teachers can be scheduled for this week. "We are always prepared to hold further meetings,' said Mrs. Lafarga. A similar sentiment was expressed last Thursday by John Hinch, chairman of the Economic Policy Council for the Teachers Association in Durham Region. He has been ac- tively involved in the negotiations for a new contract. : He told the Star there is a single outstanding issue that has not been . resolved between the teachers arid the Board. The teachers want the Board to close the wage disparity that now exists between elementary and secondary teachers. Generally speaking, an elementary teacher with the same qualifications and years of experience earns 1.4 per cent less than a secondary teacher. "We are not talking about a lot of money, but there is a principle in- volved here that the teachers feel must be ad- dressed,' said Mr. Hinch. : The disparity in equal pay for equal qualifica- tions came about three years ago when elemen- tary teachers in Durham were under a two year contract and that gaj was not bridged during, the next two years of mandatory wage restraints. If further negotiations between the teachers and the 'Board do not resolve this issue, the teachers will take a strike vote before the end of this school year. Mr. Hinch said that if such a vote is taken and supported by the teachers it will not automatically mean a walk-out by teachers as there are other types of action that likely would be taken first. Elementary teachers in Durham have been working without a con- tract since last September 1 when the one year agreement ex- offer from Board by 92.2% pired. They are now seeking a one year pact which would expire at the end of this August. High school teachers in Durham ratified an agreement last week which will provide for average salary increases of 4.6 per cent. Charge man in Jessop murder The man accused in the murder of Christine Jessop has been remand- ed in custody and will make a second court ap- pearance in Whitby this Friday. Guy Paul Morin was charged by Durham Police last week with first degree murder. The 25 year old Queensville man is a neighbour of the Jessop family. His lawyer, Alex Sosna of Oshawa, said that an application for bail hear- ing will be sought from the Supreme Court of Ontario. The accused was ar- rested near Queensville the night of April 22. He is single and unemployed. Christine Jessop was nine when she disap- peared from her Queensville home last October. Her body was found New Years Eve beside a farm lane near Sonya, about ten miles due north of Port Perry.
