2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, December 6th. 1979 Orýono Weekly Times KEPT IN THE DARK Lt became quite evident when reading the Fact Finder's report last week regarding salary negotiations between the local Board of Education and the Seconary Teachers' Federation that ail was flot as it really appeared. Lt would seemn that for the general public to understand clearly the proposais and demnands that a more gimpier approach witb ail inclusive figures would be of benefit in looking at the overail figures. In the beginning the Board has agreed to a 2.69 percent increase in ail teacher's salaries through their grid system and no matter what happens to negotiations this wiil be paid without negotiations. When the Board offers an increase of 2.57 percent it is on top of the 2.69 percent. This realiy makes the offer a 5.26 percent increase. When the teachers ask for an increase of 9.5 percent this again has added to it the 2.69 percent for a total of 12.19 percent. If one would aiso add the costs of beneits to salaries it would give a much clearer picture of the true salaries paid to and for employees. Lt is difficuit enough to keep the generai public wel informed on public aff airs even when ail facts are out in the open. To cloud the issues and figures make it impossible for the publie to grasp a true picture.
