On tario Public Service Employees Union said today that the deal was equitable expected acceptance and think its fair contract he said Meanwhile the some 4000 teachers at the colleges and the Council of Regents the governing body of community colleges are still negotiating for new contract The teachers belong to the same union as support staff but form different bargaining unit THREE INCREASES The

colleges will be lower Hannon said Further many clerks will be making far less than the $727 figure when the contract expires August 31 1981 Hannon said the two year contract will allow for certain portions of the pact to be tested over time to check their validity He also said key stumbling block in negotiations the contracting out of jobs and subsequent layoff of fulltime staff will either disappear as an issue or come to head during the life of the pact Hannon said the contract guarantees discussion on contracting out and layoffs but the colleges have retained the right to act as they
