Society Set Back in Manitoba Teachers’ Dispute Commentary
The Arbitration Board ruling on the Russell School Board and Pelly Trail Division dispute could curb future union demands while taxpayers shoulder costs. The column argues the change in salary schedules and meritorious pay prompts debate over governance, with a call for teachers to focus on professional caliber and not seek excessive pay. Also notes a visit from James McConnell of Churchbridge about his father’s homestead rights dating to 1882 and a 1886 patent in the Craigie district.
