Milton Mowbray was com- menting on a decision by the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' establish a $20 million 'war chest' to be used in the event of mass resignations or strike action. Establishment of the war chest indicates that the teachers expect a difficult set of negotiations this year, says Mowbray. '"The trustees are, too", he added. The OSSTF is in a confused, fuzzy situation, says the trustee, who was chairman of the board last year during a bitter and prolonged set of negotiations with secondary school teachers. "The OSSTF is part - way between a professional association and a union", says Mowbray. '"This works to their advantage at this time. The teachers can act like a union and make all kinds of public; postures about professional concerns. But you don't act like a union and maintain professional concern." "A union, such as the UAW, doesn't give a damn about the problems of management, but is interes- ted only in the selfish interests of its members," he says. "That is a typical labor position and I'm not deplor- ing it. But if the teachers are going to make use of all the union tactics that have been successful, they will find that they are concerning them- selves." Mowbray and his negotiat- ing committee have already begun to meet with teachers' bargaining representatives. Mowbray suspects that the OSSTF has formulated a province - wide strategy to make gains in each area of their demands. Instead of pushing for all their demands with each board, they will decentralize their efforts by going for different items with different boards, thereby establishing precedents for everything they want somewhere in Ontario, he suggests. The teachers are trying to anticipate expected legisla- tion and establish policies with boards that the legisla- tion may rule against, so they can say the legislation has taken something away from them, says Mowbray. Approaching their objectives in such a piece- meal, scatter - gun fashion should mean the resistance in each individual set of negotiations will appear to be less reasonable than if each board were confronted with a full slate of demands, says the top negotiator for the board. Stressing that he is not: talking specifically about the situation in Ontario County, Mowbray says, "I would expect more trouble this year than last with negotiat- ions, because I expect more pressure from the teachers. They will put it on a defensive basis," he says. "But I don't buy that". Part of the problem lies in the ceilings imposed on education spending by the province, he says. Federation to ° "Also part of the pro- blem," says Mowbray, "is that the OSSTF has made up its mind that certain things are going to happen and it doesn't matter what has to be done to achieve those aims." . Teachers are seeking changes in bargaining pro- cedure this year, he says. In many areas they are pressing for an advance commitment to go to arbitration before they are prepared to negotiate any- thing else, including sala- ries. In some areas, says Mowbray, negotiations has been broken off because of a disagreement between board and teachers about the negotiability of some items Epsom Just a reminder of W.I.

Keach of Toronto was a weekend guest with that are classed as non monetary, says Mowbray. Activism among teachers _at this point in time is basically - related to a decrease in the demand for teachers for both natural and economic reasons, says the chairman of the negotiating committee. The provincial ceilings on education spending have resulted in changes in the pupil - teacher ration. This comes at a time when the rate of enrolment is declin- ing, he notes, and when there has been a large influx of new teachers into the profession. The teachers also see the gains made in other labor fields and want to achieve the same, says Mowbray. News Mr. and Mrs. Walter Kerry and family.
