The OSSTF objects to potential job losses resulting resulting from the legislation and the undermining of teachers' professional authority. "This bill is certainly unacceptable in its present form. It overrides teachers' collective agreements," says Inkscttcr. And, "by giving the Minister of Education control over Orono Trucker Dies in Fiery Crash on Hwy 401 A Orono woman is dead following an explosive truck accident on Hwy 401 early Monday morning. Diana Love, age 46, was driving one of two tractor trailers involved in the fiery crash which occurred around 2 a.m. on September 22. According to Ontario Provincial Police, Love was westbound in her Newcastle Recycling Ltd. truck when it struck the guardrail that separates the express lanes from the collector lanes near Markham Road. The impact ripped out the fuel tanks and the truck, flipping, burst into flames. The driver of a furniture truck did his best to brake, but was unable to stop. The collision tore open the cab of the second truck which also exploded. The three people inside were, able to escape to safety, but the heat was too intense to save the driver of the first truck. A preliminary check by the Ontario Provincial Police showed no mechanical problems with either of the trucks. The investigation continues. Jim Hale, president of Newcastle Recycling, called Love a very safe and conscientious driver. time spent in class, that sets the stage for reducing the number of teachers".

Marshall Jarvis, president president of the Ontario English Catholic Teachers, warns of up to 10,000 lost teaching teaching jobs if Snobelen is indeed serious about cutting cutting preparation time in half. "The Minister says he needs to cut prep time so teachers can spend more time with their students who will then do better in school. But the loss of thousands of teachers from "We are quite interested in dialogue," insists O'Toole. He said he would like to see a process set up to ensure teachers could have their voices heard outside the "union hard-lining." The government's intention is the improvement improvement of education, he adds. the system will mean much less time for individual individual students to spend with their teacher. I don't call that a commitment to quality quality education. I call that a commitment only to the bottom line." O'Toole expects debate in the house may start in the next two weeks, with public hearings being held toward the end of October.
