Also, CUPE dropped demands that the mediated agreement be binding and implemented. Hocevar said the demands were dropped at a hastily called B.C. Labor Relations Board hearing Thursday morning because the union’s right to picket was at stake. The employers’ associa- tion asked Br an injunction against picketing until the union’s application rejecting the employers’ association as the school board’s bargaining authority was decided. So the union chose to withdraw its application and - fight that issue another time. “We want to get on with getting an agreement, not get tied up in all kinds of hear- ings,” said Hocevar. School board vice-chair- man Pat Heal said that if the strike is not called off, parents shauld keep their children at home or make other arrange- ments for their care. “Hopefully, someone will intervene and not allow it to happen. The board dots not want to see these kids out on the street. We are’ caught in the middle.” "She suggested parents lis- ten to the news to get up-to- the-minute reports. _ North Vancouver Parent Advisory Committee co- chairman Susan Carson said the face negotiations have reached the point that strike action could be taken shows the whole system needs reworking. “The kids are coming last again,” she said. Carson pointed to the cut- backs and trustee firings North Vancouver schools have retently endured. * Then to have a provincial body, whoever they are, stop the process — if just don’t see the logic in it,” she said. “At this point, I can’t believe it could happen. We're: still thinking cutbacks, not strike.” COMPARE 0 397 oe ~ We fam core (uten seatch-gartet fate cove. piles and pilew Covers. Whe qeaciries last A Ist. R¥an Hen.
