25 YEARS AGO: After working for a year without a contract the Turlock Teachers Association had reached a tentative agreement with the Turlock Elementary School District. The agreement would have covered the 1992-93 school year. District officials and union negotiators met 12 times to settle their impasse, which centered on Medicare coverage payments for senior instructors and teacher transfers between school sites. Under the contract, district officials agreed to pay Medicare payments for employees beginning in June 1994 at a total cost of about $60,000 annually, if 30 percent of the instructors eligible chose to participate.
