the Halton district Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation Tom of George town this week issued a further statement on salary negotiations to this newspaper He said chairman of the salary negotiating committee of the school board has been contacted by himself and also b a member of the provincial executive We arc trying to set up a meeting any time the board would meet Mr says Lead negotiations district nine has been offered the assistance of a provincial officer to lead the salary negotiations with the Board Mr Ramautarlngh continues I feel that reason will prevail and the board will see that our proposal is not realistic but has been reasonable The board has gone to great lengths to compare us with other settle ments by quoting minimums and maximums These figures appeared in board statement in this newspaper last week What the teachers are attempting to do is simply to negotiate a schedule for secondary school teachers whose situation is different from other areas county is different and through our proposals we are attempting to recognize these differences Not comparable We ire concerned about the great number of our teachers about per cent who have approximately three to five experience on the average These people have a salary range from in the third year in category one to 600 in the fifth year in four depending upon the qualifications I emphasize this is the area of the grid where the teachers negotiation No formal word yet board offer is not comparable with other settlements in Peel and Hilton Obligation I would think the board has an to the teachers and the public and this was not evident In the figures published bj the when they deliberately published minimums and maximums only Ihe bo lias led the public to believe that the teachers are gelling more than a fair deal when they quote the figures as take home Gross pay We know the amount proposed is gross pay not Like home and that the teachers would rueive a considerably less number of dollars and not the amount the board would have the public believe Alt thit we are seeking is a just fair and equitable settle ment Mr concluded his statement At their regular meeting
