change Bill dealing with teacher board negotiations so that teachers could be locked out when there are strikes elsewhere because the contract settlements In other parts of the province are used as precedents by teachers in contract itions After several teacher strikes throughout Ontario lost year teachers settled for an per cent raise without striking Separate School Board told the Halton Board
