The complainant argues that this award cannot be enforced because it would require the plaintiff to violate section 1006 of the Public Industrial Relations Act (Act), Act of 23 July 1970, P.L. 563, as amended, 43 P.S. § 1101.1006, which reads as follows: "No public employee is entitled to payment or compensation from the public employer for the period, who is involved in a strike. Since the days missed due to the gas shortage could have been postponed without the 1976 strikes, the complainant submitted that the missed days should be considered "strike time". Although we may find this argument convincing in another matrix of facts, we believe that, in this case, both the contractual provisions of the agreement in question and the legislation adopted as part of the declaration of the state of emergency in 1977 require the conclusion that these days were missed because of weather conditions and not because of the strike.

Finally, we note that the legislature expressly provided for the problems arising from the 1977 emergency conditions. Article 1501.1 of the Code, added by Article 1 of the Law of 1 June 1977, P.L. 4, formerly 24 P.S. § 15-1501.1, expiring on 30 June 1977.

June 1977, provided that "no employee of a school closed because of the 1977 weather emergency may receive compensation greater or less than that to which the employee would otherwise have been entitled from the school district ...". Here, without the weather emergency2, teachers would have been entitled to the agreed adjusted salary after the second strike. Under the mandate of section 1501.1, the complainant cannot pay her teachers less than she would otherwise have been entitled to. This problem arose from two strikes that took place in the autumn of 1976 after the complainant and the complainant, the Association de l`éducation de Montour (Vereinigung), the complainant`s teachers` bargaining group, were unable to agree on a collective agreement for the 1976/77 school year. The first strike began on 7 September 1976 and ended on 10 September 1976 with an agreement. The complainant then decided that this agreement did not adequately represent his intentions and subsequently refused to comply with its provisions, which led to a new strike that lasted from October 1 to November 12, 1976. The strike ended when the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas concluded that the September 10 agreement was a valid contract for the parties to honor and issued an injunction against other work stoppages. The total number of school administrators and support staff working for the Montour School District is shown in the table below.

The applicant rightly points out that Carmichaels differs from the present case in that the agreement was signed there after the strike and therefore took into account the post-strike timetable when setting wages, whereas the agreement was signed here before the second strike and it was therefore impossible to envisage or take into account the strike. Nevertheless, the agreement here examined the possibility of emergency school closures. The arbitrator found that this provision constituted a negotiated right to miss school in an emergency situation without suffering a reduction in salary. Thus, as in the Carmichaels case, "neither the arbitrator`s claim nor the arbitrator`s final award concerned the payment of the period during which the association went on strike. . . , but rather the district`s failure to comply with its contractual obligation to pay certain wages for the . . . School year.. Id.

The relevant articles of the collective agreement provide: the arbitrator examined the joint effect of these provisions and concluded that teachers were contractually entitled to a certain annual salary which could not be reduced for days missed if teachers were available to work or were duly exempted from it. He noted that during the fuel crisis, teachers here were both available to work and were duly exempted from it and were therefore entitled to payment for the twelve days of need. Given that the collective agreement provides for a maximum number of working days at a guaranteed wage without mutual determination for a minimum number of working days, we believe that the justification of Carmichaels Area School District v. Carmichaels Area Education Association, 37 Pa.Commw. 141, 389 A.2d 1203 (1978), applies and the arbitrator`s award is admissible.
