10.18.07 - Media reports that SVEA
will fine coaches that cross the picket line.

"Contrary to erroneous
statements made by a local radio host, the SVEA has not and will not
fine any coach for crossing the picket lines.
These lies are perpetuated in the media
by allies of Mr. King in an attempt to bargain in the media and
generate hostility between the community and its teachers."
- Pat Andrekovich, SVEA Chief Negotiator
"Never in the history of PSEA has any member
been fined for anti-strike activities.
Its not part of our mechanism and to insinuate only incites for the
wrong reasons."
- Butch Santicola, PSEA Spokesperson

"There are many examples of the board representatives using the
media to confuse the situation. An example is the last joint
release made after the bargaining session Thursday. In one
breath Tom King agrees that there is progress and in the other
while doing a talk show he indicates there is no real progress."
- Butch Sanicola, PSEA Spokesperson
