Union Agreement With City Discussed By The Council

Discussion in the City Council bogged down last night after more man three hours had been spent considerin a proposed bargaining .5;-cement of Local 501 comprising all civic employees. Representa- tlves of the Union and a civic com- mittee had met previous! to deal with the mat-in and the c vie com- mittee last night was presenting its findings to the Council. Coon. Mccormac was absent tom the meeting.

some of the clauses in the Union agreement were agreed to with very little discussion while others were either set aside for further consideration or indicatl was given that no agreement would be made on the points in question.

TEMPORARY IELOYEES

The point causing the most con- fusion in the minds of the Coun- cillors was the fact that the pro- posed agreement covered all civic gmployeeg, permanent and tem- porary. Councillor Gaudet could not see how tbs City could enter into an greement which would include temporary employees. He pointed out that many of the pro- visions sought by the Union could not possibly apply to employees of this catesorin

Representing the Union were Staff Sgt. A. Dowllng. Inuit Ran- aghsa, Leo Msobougald and a spokesnmn from another .Unlon. John Brown. A number of the Councillors themselves as being concerned with a matter er accepted of the Colm-

FOIICED T0 BARGAIN

councillor Nicholson pointed out however that the Union had been recognised by the Government and as such, the Council was ob- liged to enter into an , with them. In case they did not, he said it could be brought before an arbitration board and the Coun- cil would be forced to enter an agreement.

Mr. Brown from the Union point- sd out that such a Board might grant everything that the Union was asking for and perhaps more.

Conn. Johnstons who chaired the Committee and presented the

findings lust nlsht said the Com- mittee was able to agree with many of the clauses but fell at the same time as custodians of 919 '-lXlMYen' money they would be duty-bound to refuse others,

Conn. Johnatone said that dur- ing the discussions with the Union Committee the councillors had learned a greet deal about the problems of the workers and be presumed that they in turn had became funlliar with some of the pfloblenu confronting the Coun- c .

AGREEMENT BIACIIED

The clauses of the agreement which received the conditional green light from the Council were:

No discrimination would be used against any employee for acting on behalf of the Union.

After one continuous year of ser- vice an employee will be granted one day of sick leave with pay for each month of service not counting the first day of sickness. Such sick leave is to be accumulative. All sicknesses must be certified by a qualified medical practitioner.

Each employee after one year of continuous service will be entitled to two weeks vacation with pay and after ten yess three weeks with pay.

Al employees required to work on a civic or statutory holiday will be paid at the rate of double pay and if a holiday occurs during the annual holidays of the employee. he would be granted an extra day of leave.

There shall be no lockouts. walk- outs or strikes.

The Union shall appoint a griev- ance commlttee which upon fail- ure of settlement of a grievance of an employee with his superior or with incumbent committee. shall Bring the matter before the

c .

mentcoun

STRONG OPPOSITION

The Council would not agree to a clause which dealt with the trans- fer of an employee from one de- partment to the other. The clause stated that anyone transferring from one employee group to an- other in a voluntary capacl y would have to go to the bottom of the seniority list and receive the

At St. Stephen Mr. Dlcfenbaker spoke of Maritime rights and said the Eastern provinces should not be "back-bencbers in s confedera- tion of equals."

The Conservative party had made Confederation possible. If elected. it would work out with the provinces a new deal that would "the inequities that too long have held back the Maritime provinces."

rate of pay for such position. 011 the other hand if an employee were transferred to a position call- tag for a lower salary than what he was getting he would not be re- quired to work for less than what he had been receiving.

-Councillors Gaudet. Foster and Nlcho' strongly opposed the clause dealing with the appoint- ment of an arbitration board. The proposed agreement states that in the event the grievance com- mlttee and the Council cannot come to terms on any particular matter, the matter can be referr- ed to an arbitration board com- nosed of one Union member. one member of the Council and a chairman to be appointed by the Minister of Labour whose decis- ion in case of a deadlock would be final.

WOULD LOSE POWER

Coun. Gaudet said this would mean taking the power from an elected body. He said that pre- sumably the chairman could be a llerson from any part of the Island who would not have the interests of the City at heart. He thought it could easily develop into a po- lltlcal racket.

Coun- Foster agreed with Coun. Gaudet as did Coun. Nicholson while Coun. Gormley contended that matters of this kind should be referred to the Depn t of La- bour. "Otherwise," he said, "What is a Department of Labour for?"

Mayor Stewart said he knew that such procedure was the rule in other parts of the Country but felt it would be difficult to carry it out in-I small place like Char- lottetown without involving per- sonalitles.

RAND FORMULA

Mr. Brown was asked by the formula what happened if there were those who did not wish to Join the Union. He said under the Rand Formula which the Union proposed to use. No one was forc- ed to Join the Union but all those coming under the terms of the agreement would be required to pay dues which would be de- ducted from the pay check.

City recorder Martin said no one could be forced to pay does it they did not express a desire to so. Jns..Brnvla..

Churchill Bounces Back Into The Political Arena

LONDON (AP) -- Sir Winston Churchill. 82 and still brimming with fire and vigor, bounced back briefly into the political arena Fri- day with a speech backing the An- glo-French invasion of Suez last fall.

An organ thundered Land of Hope and Glory and s,ooo Conservatives packing the Royal Albert Hall raised the roof in a cataract of ap- plause for the former prime min- ister. making his first public ad- dress in a year.

It was an emotional occasion for the tough old warrior. He was near to tears as he stood with head bowed while the cheering welled up around him.

Churchill presided at a stormy meeting of the Primrose League, an organization of Conservative party supportnro. Police were called into the ball to eject five member. of the audience who caused an uproar during a speech by Education Minister Viscount llailsham.

BONN (AP)-The Atlantic Al- liance told the world and Russia Friday night that all members will continue to base their defen- sive shield on the use of atomic arms if necessary.

Foreign minister of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization ended their sessions here with a joint statement that the best hope of deterring Soviet attack is the terrible firepower of modern nu- clear weapons.

"Pending an acceptable agree- ment on disarmament." said the ministers, "no power can claim the right to deny to the alliance the possession of the modern arms is d ” for its defence."

NATO officials said the council
