Singh FROM BCSTA HEAD Teachers get warning VANCOUVER (CP) — The British Columbia govern- ment is looking for a con- venient scapegoat in the education funding battle and teachers must avoid pre- senting themselves as an easy target, the president of the B.C. School Trustees Association said Tuesday. In a speech to the annual B.C. Teachers' Federation convention, Bill Lafeaux-Val- entine, himself a former tea- cher, warned the 700 del egates to avoid engaging in rhetoric and “non-productive dichotomous thinking.” He said there is a danger that the increasingly bitter fight over funding — the government has chopped public school funding by more than $120 million over the last three years — and the complex issues involved will lead to a hardening of at titudes by a public increas- ingly frustrated by polarized politics and economic uncer: tainty. He said that will tend to focus attention on the conflict and the combatants and away from the real issue — a quality education for chil dren. Avenues for reconciliation and consensus can only be achieved, he said, if the par- ties can discuss i ina rational, reasonable manner and prevent education from falling into a situation where there will be winners and losers. The school trustees and the teachers have forged a strong alliance in the edu- jon fight, with the tea- chers strongly backing rebel school boards which have submitted 1985-86 budgets in excess of Education Ministry guidelines. Nearly 30 school boards have submitted needs bud- gets. The government says they have until April 13 to coply, but the school trustees association says it has legal opinions indicating boards will not be violating any laws if they don't comply until May 1. Lafeaux-Valentine said the government is forcing school trustees to pass budgets that “are inconsistent in their judgment and unacceptable in their commu ." He drew a rousing stand- ing ovation from the teachers when he said his organization is urging those school boards which have defied the gov- ernment liits “not to com promise their resolve.” He said board obedience won't resolve the problem and the “considerable strife in our ities,” and he'll 2 USCC sends telegram By CasNews Staff West Kootenay Doukho- bors belonging to the Union of Spiritual Communities of Christ sent a telegram to Prime Minister Brian Mul Union must make adjustments TORONTO (CP) — The unionized sector of the con struction industry must make major adjustments to shape up or face increased erosion from non-union com- petition, says a report by a joint labor-management com. mittee. The 28-page report, re. leased Tuesday, says the unionized sector's “high costs and rigid rules and methods have combined to reduce the contractor's ability to com pete and the craftperson's likelihood of continuing sec ure employment.” say unions and employers must come to grips with non. standard work hours on con. struction sites, overtime pre miums, absenteeism and in. efficient jobsite practices that “result in workers re ceiving full pay for non-pro ductive time.” The report was produced by a joint committee of the Canadian Construction Asso- ciation, a management group, and the Building and Con. struction Trades Department of the AFL-CIO, which rep- resents 450,000 Canadian workers. Spokesmen for both groups told reporters Tues. day the unionized sector's survival is threatened by non-union firms. The. situa. tion is most acute in Western Canada, where firms face fewer legal impediments to sidestepping union agree. ments. Management spokesman Geoff Kinney said unionized contractors are “committed to working with the union movement” and that means not only trimming the fat from contracts but also bet ter management practices to make the firms more com petitive.

Earlier, the delegates ap- proved a resolution calling for the differential in tea- chers’ salaries to be reduced. It has been a frequent com- plaint of teachers that there are inequities in the present pay grid, which has created as many as 40 different clas- sifications. Teachers’ salaries range from about $20,000 to $43,000 bsed on education and ex- perience. In some districts, it takes 11 or 12 years of in- cremental increases to reach the top rate. Delegates also approved a contentious executive com- mittee recommendation not to develop a penalty system for members who disobey a strike call. The executive, which had been instructed by last year's convention to in- vestigage the issue, said a penalty system could ont be successfully implemented be- cause of a “lack of clarity surrounding strike action teachers,” who do not enjoy full trade union status.

We've talked several times during this season about the situation there,” Watt said from his Toronto teams will play home and away, twice for a total of 16 games. The First Division teams will play home and away once for a total of 12 games. The Kootenay Cup will again be played and the winner will represent the Kootenay Zone in the B.C. Summer Games Aug. 3-5.

The East Group teams will be Fernie United, Kimberley Shooters, Cranbrook Ranger Creston Columbians, Kim berley Athletics and Cran residence Monday. “But ob- viously he isn't in a position to offer me, or anyone, a job. “Certainly I'd be inte. ested, given the right situa tion, about going to Van couver. I have enough confi- dence in myself to return to the NHL, no question about that.” Watt, 49, has been named assistant coach of Canada's team for the world champion. ship tournament in Prague starting April 16.
