Hammond Board Will Negotiate When Charges Are Settled

The Hammond board of education stands ready to re turn to negotiations once the c h a r g e s of i m p r o p e r b a r g a i n i n g p r a c t i c e s filed by the H a m m o n d T e a c h e r s ' Assoc ia t ion against the school board a re withdrawn, dismissed, or sustained, according to Peter Lively, the Hammond board of education representa t ive . .

Lively further stated that the Ham­mond school board is "guil ty" only of hard bargaining and that there is no law which requires an employer to make a higher contract offer to his employees.

In a response to a letter to the editor printed in Thursday's Journal by the Hammond Teachers Association Lively states;

"Firs t let me point out that my statement regarding the damage caused by the filing of improper practice charges against the District has been reacted to out of context. When I s tated that these actions "did nothing to im­prove relations between the par t ies" I was referring to the suggested remedy put forth by the Hammond Teachers Association that Board of Education members be "jailed."

"Not only is this absurd and clearly beyond P E R B ' s powers, but the impact of such a suggestion upon the Board is considerable. Board members serve voluntarily, without compensation, to represent what they honestly believe to be the wishes of their constituency -namely the citizen-taxpayer of the Hammond Central School District. To suggest that these people be jailed for doing their job as they see it certainly is not a move designed to improve relations.

"I do not dispute the statistics.offered by the teacher 's association in support of their position. Neither do I challenge or question their right to file improper pract ice charges against the Board. I happen to believe that no improper pract ice occurred - however, this will be determined by P E R B as a result of

hearings held "later this month. "The Hammond Board is "guil ty"

only of hard bargaining. Nothing within the law requires an employer to make higher offers. Neither is there any legal responsibility to accept the report of a fact-finder. Whether the position of the Board is " fa i r" or not depends upon yo.ur point of view. "Fa i rness" is in the eye of the beholder. Apparently, a t least to this point, the Board feels it has been represent ing fairly and accurately the views of its constituency. Should the Teachers Association, through letters such as the one in Thursday's Journal and other means, be able to convince District residents to modify the Board's position, change m a y be forthcoming.

"In the meantime, the Board stands ready to return to negotiations a t any time - not, however, under the threat of improper pract ice charges. Once these c h a r g e s h a v e been w i t h d r a w n , dismissed or sustained, bargaining will resume. If the teachers will settle for what the services of the BOCES E m ­ployer-Employee Relations office is costing the Hammond Taxpayers , I would certainly recommend that the Board m a k e that offer and settle im­mediately! This cost is far less than H a m m o n d t e a c h e r s c u r r e n t l y a r e paying in union dues!

"Neither the Board of Education nor the Office of E m p l o y e r - E m p l o y e e Relations is interested in becoming involved in a me^dia batt le with the Hammond Teacher 's Association! The teachers "fired the first shot" with their news release on the improper practice charge. My office responded for the district. Now once again it is necessary to respond to a letter from the teacher 's association. We recognize the inherent danger in attempting to have the. last word. Nevertheless, the District does not intend to stand by and permit the teachers to misrepresent or give only their own version of the contract dispute."
