the link, march 16. 1983 FACULTY AND TECHNICAL STAFF FOREGO SALARY INCREASE TO HELP ENSURE QUALITY EDUCATION AT B.C.l.T.

B.C.l.T. Staff Society members recently ratified a collective agreement for 1983 with the following main features:

• No general increase in salaries, hourly rates and allowances

• 9 month extension of no layoff policy (i.e. until hAay 31, 1984) i

• No changes in instructional delivery methods until affected Departments and their Advisory Committees have been consulted and the Educational Council has approved the change

• Most staff leaves to be backfilled

• Retraining funded by the Institute for employees subject to transfer or job change

• Other desirabte contract improvements postponed to next round of collective bargaining (FQII of 1983)

In June of 1982, Staff Society members agreed to give up a cost of living allowance of approximately 3% in order to preserve quality and prevent layoffs. j

The Staff Society hereby challenges Management employees to offer to freeze their salary increases, merit increases and bonuses in 1983.

Money saved from these actions should go directly to maintaining the quality, instructional standards, equip• ment and learning conditions of B.C.l.T. programs.
