OKLAHOMA CITY — A repre
sentative of the Association of Class
room Teachers said Monday the or
ganization has not decided if it will
seek to represent striking teachers
at the bargaining table.
Teachers acting under the banner
of the American Federation of
Teachers voted two weeks ago to
strike for higher wages. They want a
12 percent raise. The school board
has offered them 9 percent.
Mary Hepp, ACT president, said
the union still supports the current
teachers’ strike.

Hepp indicated Saturday the
union rrtay seek to represent
teachers in negotiating a contract
with the school board, which has
been ordered by three judges not to
recognize the AFT.
Hepp said ACT leaders “are ask
ing our attorneys to analyze the
situation as far as bargaining is con
cerned.” Instructors have said they
will form picket lines again Tuesday,
despite Friday’s court order.
The judges ordered the school
district not to negotiate with the
AFT and not to pay teachers for the
period they are on strike.
Superintendent Thomas Payzant
said he hoped the court order would
prompt teachers to go back to work.
AFT Vice President Brenda Mar
tin Sunday accused the school board
of spending money to break the
strike that could have been used to
meet teachers’ demands.
She said the board is “wasting
money” paying substitutes '$50 a
day, hiring security personnel, and
paying attorneys.

Union members in Indiana and other states voted “overwhelm

provide a raise of about 50 cents an hour in the first year.
The tentative agreement, completed in bargaining at Pittsburg
Thursday, also required the company to continue paying the ful
contributions to worker pension programs. The issue was the main
item of dispute in the strike that started July 15.

ATLANTA — A dramatic decline in the number of measles cases
reported so far this year has federal health officials predicting a record
low for 1979.
In its weekly morbidity and mortality report, the Atlanta-based
Center for Disease Control said if known cases of measles “continue
to decline at the current rate, the projected 1979 total will be be
tween 13,000 and 14,000 reported cases, an all-time low for the
United States.”
The big drop apparently was the result of a national effort an
nounced last year to try to eliminate the disease in America.
