Upon being so assured, he said it has been a hard and long task and congratulated about 50 teachers and city officials for "getting the schools open and the children back in the classrooms." TheJirst negotiation session for this contract was Aug. 1, 1975. The contract finally was hammered out in the last two days going to a.m. Wednesday by four persons: WTA Financial Secretary Rosemarie Baldo-ni, National Education Association General Counsel Robert Chanin, Mayor Edward D.

Sources close to the negotiations said, however, it is a three-year, pact providing for about $200 raises for those teachers at the maximum $18,382 and about 2.5 per cent in increments fcr all teachers.

The contract is retroactive to September 1976 and expires in June 1979. The city's last public offer was a two-year, $785,000 pact with no raises and 3 per cent in increments. The WTA's last demand was $1.4 million over three years with $100 to $500 raises and 5 per cent increments. The Waterbury Board of Education, which in January approved a three-year pact only to have it vetoed a month later by the Board of Aldermen, unanimously approved the latest contract at an emergency meeting in the courthouse Wednesday. "If I were a drinking man, I'd go out and celebrate," said school board President Lewis Hutchison.

Justice William Brennan and three colleagues looked on this system as an unconstitutional discrimination against women who have been required to pay Social Security taxes over the years.
