soard ratifies Ca THE CAPILANO College Board of Directors has officially ratified details of the contract that has ended a J6-day strike by the college’s 270 full and part-time teachers. Following Thursday night's ratification vote, Capilano College president Dr. Doug Jardine said, “We are very pleased. We're just waiting for the faculty to sign.”* Details of the three-year con- tract, including resolutisn to the major issue of teacher work-load, were hammered out in a tnarathon negotiating meeting Monday. “Both sides became more flexi- ble,’” Jardine said. ‘‘The settle- ment is financially the same (as what was previously offered by the board), but distribution of the money has changed.”’ Jardine said the three-year pact will cost the college around $860,000 over three years, but said the total was no more than what had been budgeted for in the LIONS GATE HOSPITAL began By TIMOTHY R News Reporter board's offer to the Capilano Col- lege Faculty Association (CCFA) before the strike. He added that, with the forecast of continued provincial grant cuts to the college budget, and with no allowance for inflation, the college will have to drop 100 sections, or courses, in the next school year. He said provincial grants, which have gone from $12.6 million in 1983 to $10.9 million in 1986, will be further trimmed to $10.7 mil- lion by 1988, according to current estimates. The last board offer to the CCFA before Monday night's scheduling — elective surgery Wednesday after a strike by the hospital’s 209 Health Sciences Association (HSA) members, scheduled to begin at 6 a.m., was called off. On Wednesday night, the HSA and the Health Labor Relations Association (HLRA), which repre- sents B.C. hospitals, tentatively agreed to a contract proposed by mediator Vince Ready. “Wei are delighted,’’ LGH vice-president Tom McMillan said Thursday. ‘‘We will be gearing up for full capacity."” PRESIDENT John Bor- was ‘like a LGH thwick...situation roller-coaster."* Because the deal must still be ratified by the union's 5.°.) members and approved bb: the HLRA, no details of the contract, including the wage agreement. have been released by either side.

By TIMOTHY RENSHAW News Reporter The number of acute patients at the hospital, he said, had been reduced to 300 as of Wednesday and would be further reduced to 289 if the labor situation had re- mained uncertain. But McMillan said LGH would now be returning to its acute ca- pacity of 401. The 5,500-member HSA_ had announced Sunday that strike ac- tion would begin Wednesday at 13 B.C. hospitals, including LGH. But the union temporarily shelv- ed its plans after mediator Vi'ice Ready persuaded its negotiacors and negotiators for the Hospital Labor Relations Association (HLRA), which represents B.C. hospitals, to resume contract talks. On Oct. 21, the HSA served B.C.’s 114 acute-care hospitals with 72-hour strike notice, but the union temporarily halted further strike action Oct. 24 to give it a chance to study a contract offer recommended in a report by gov- ernment appointed industrial in- quiry commissioner Fred Long. Long's proposal, which called for salary increases totalling 10.2 per cent in a three-year contract that would expire March 31. 1989, was rejected by the HSA, LGH performs about 1,100 surgical operations cach month, 806 of which are elective cases, The current waiting list for elec- tive surgery at the hospital is about 1,600. lab and fhe HSA technologists. physiotherapists. represents pharmacists p teacher meeting called for a raise in the top teacher salary from $41,408 to $46,000 by Aug. 1, 1987. The CCFA, meanwhile, was after a top salary of $45,700 for teachers working nine sections (or courses) annually, and offering to use the balance of the amount of- fered by the board to restore to 50 per cent of the college's [27 fuli- time instructors the right to teach eight sections at $43,200 rather than the fully prorated eight-sec- tion salary of $40,800 offered by the board. Jardine said the settlement gave all full-time teachers the option of working eight sections, subject to dean approval. Rather than lose the full pro- rated amount of $5,000 for teaching eight sections, college in- structors will now be paid $3,000 Jess than their nine section counterparts in the 1986-87 school year. 3 - Friday, November 14, 1986 ~ North Shore News contract Top full-time teacher salary in the first year of the contract will be $44,408.
