Teachers' strike talks continue
By JULIE BROWN
Contract talks in Ann Arbor's ten-day
old school strike continued yesterday,
as negotiating teams for the city's
school board and the Ann Arbor
Education Association met in a virtual
marathon session.
Negotiators have met in a round-the-
clock session, which began at 10 a.m.
Wednesday, and continued throughout
Wednesday night and yesterday. Ac-
cording to teachers' association
spokesman Dan Burroughs, the session
was still being held at 10 p.m. yester-
day.
"AS FAR AS I know, they
(negotiations) are still going on," he
said last night. "I haven't heard
anything, and I assume nothing has
happened.
"We have only had very short breaks
to eat," said Robert Moseley, assistant
superintendent of schools, yesterday
afternoon. '
The strike-the largest of 19 teacher
strikes statewide-has centered on a
number of issues, with differing salary
package offers the primary factor.
THE SCHOOL BOARD has indicated
it will not budget anything beyond the
$3.1 million level for salary increases.
The sum translates to a 12.1 per cent
employment cost increase (including
fringe benefits), or a 9.9 per cent salary
increase.
The teachers' association is seeking
an increase of 16.8 per cent, including
fringe benefits and incremental in-
creases-provided annually as
teachers accumulate experience in the
system.
"I don't think there's going to be a
change in the gross amount (the board
has offered)," Moseley said yesterday
afternoon. He added, however, that
members of the school board
negotiating team may be willing to
alter the distribution of increases
throughout the salary schedule.
OTHER STRIKE ISSUES include
assessment of teacher qualifications in
determining layoff procedures,
assignment of homerooms to inter-
mediate school teachers, elementary
school class size, racial composition of
the system's staff, and teacher tran-
sfers within the system.
The teachers' association proposed
last Friday that the dispute be settled
by binding arbitration, an action the
school board turned down last Satur-
day.
Negotiations resumed at ap-
proximately 2 p.m. Tuesday. The nine-
hour session Tuesday was the first sin-
ce talks broke off early Friday evening.
According to Burroughs, a Michigan
Employment Relations Commission
mediator has been present during the
session which began Wednesday mor-
ning. No mediator attended Tuesday's
session, he said, although both sides
met last Friday with a state mediator.
