CSAO leadeshp lias refused this offer, and also refuses to go to arbitration,. We belleve, as your governmient, we have offered a fair and resnble cÊat For almost three months now the Government of Ontario bas been trying to negotiate a new collec- tive agreement with the Civil Service Association of Ontario covering somel19,000 civil servants in. the Operational Services Category. With less than two weeks' negotiating time -left' before the current contract expires and the, CSAO threatening an illegal stnike on January Ist if it doesn't have a new agreement by then, we thought it was time to let you, the taxpayers of Ontario, know directiy how 'and where things stand., After ail, it is your tax dollars that wilI be used to pay for any wage settlement we make with these employees. And it is your services that wili be threatened with disruption if the CSAO cardes out its threat of an iliegal walkout. The govemnent ha. t"id to flgotiate in good faith. The CSAO first served its demands on the govern- ment on September 27th. The Association told us then it wanted a 61 Y/2 per cent wage increase in a one-ye ar contract for 1975. That didn't seem to government negotiators to be a serious or reaiistic demand on which to base negotiations and we began a series of meetings with CSAO representatives to try and discover where the reai bargaining area lay. We met twice in Oçtob&r and again for two days early in Novemher., During those meetin gs we set forth our counter- proposais. First, we suggested a two-year contract with wage increases of 10 to 16 per cent in the first year and 8 per cent in the second. jDespite written assurance that this was a negotia- ble offer, the CSAO leadership insisted on taking it to its membership and, on that basis, on getting a mandate for an illegal strike if there was no agree- ment by January 1 st. The CSAO membership vote took two weeks and it wasn't until December 2nd and 3rd that we were able to sit down again with Association rep- resentatives. At these meetings, as they had from the outset, CSAO negotiators refused to- move from their initial demand for a 611'/2 per cent wage increase -an increase that would cost you, the taxpayers of Ontario, aimost $100 -million in additional wage buis in 1975. Given this situation, governme nt negotiators decided a major move was necessary. Since the CSAO had been insisting that the government make an offer it could take back to its member- ship, on December 3rd our representatives put theirfuli mandate on the bargaining table. 11» govemment has made a f air and reasonable wage off er. The offer tabled by government negotiators on December 3rd represented a considerable move from our initial position- In recognition of the, uncertainties caused by Canada's currenit infia- tionary climate, we proposed a one-year contract which would allow both sides to return to the bargaining table in 12 months when we could review the economic situation at that time. For the 12'months of 1975, we proposed wage increases avéraging 20 per cent for the 19,000 employees involved. The increases actually ranged from 15 to 23 per cent, depending on the employee group involved, but more than 80 per cent of the civil servants would receive 20 per cent or more. The cost to the taxpayers of these increases would be $32,7 million in 1975. The government made thîis proposai in a sincere attempt to be fair and reasonable with its employ- ees, while, at the same time, recognizing its wider responsibilities to the taxpayers and economy of our province. Our research, based on su rveys of more than 120 employers in Ontario, indicated that our wage levels would be competitive with those paid elsewhere in the province for compara- ble work. In fact, the 20 per cent increase for one year compared with an average annual increase of 14.5 per cent in contracts signed in recent months by private employers in Ontario. The governnunt i. moving to improve the collective bargaiudng system. Concurtently, but separiite from the actual wage niegotiations, government representatives have been discussing with the CSAO and other em- ployee organizations, possible changes in the Crown Employees Collective' Bargaining Act which governs collective bargaining for public servants. On December 5th the Hon. Eric Winkler, Chair- man of the Management Board, introduced the government's proposed amendments in the Legis- lature. The Bill recommends a number of changes in the Act, including three highly significant ones: (1) It proposes a revision in the method of ap- pointing arbitration boards (the ultimate recourse under the, law to settle differences) to ensure that the makeup of these boards. does not appear to favor either side. iJnder the proposed change, the employee agent and the employer each would name one member to the board and they, in turn, would agree on the choice of a neutral third person as chairman. This amendment responds directly to one of the major demands made by the CSAO in its campaign against the Act. (2) Simila r changes would be made to ensure full and equal employee representation. on the Public Service Grievance Board and the Ontario Public Service Labor Retations Tribunal, the othier two major bodies established under the Act. (3) If these amendments are accepted by the Legislature, employees henceforth would be able to bargain on such matters as promotions, de- motions, transfers, layoffs and' the classification and job evaluation system. Under the present law, ail of these are considered management's prerog- ative. The proposed amendments also provide an opportunity, short of actual bargaining, for em- ployee representatives to discuss and review with the employer the governing principles of the menit system, training and deveiopment, appraisal and super annuation. The. govemment wants a settlement - but ît must b. prepared for an illegal strike. During recent days, there has been one new devel- opment. On December l3th the CSAO, for the first time, formally dropped its demand for a 611'/2 per cent wage increase and said, înstead, il wanted a 41 per cent hike for 1975. At the time this' state- ment was prepared the government had replied that it could not in ail responsibility accept a demand of that magnitude. The government, for its part, remains ready to negotiate seriously and in good faith within the framework of its December 3 rd proposai. We have already offered to submit the issue to an arbitra- tion board to be set up on the basis of the proposed amendments to the Crown Employees Collective Bargaining Act. In the meantime, sincie January 1Ist isn't far away, the government bas had to-formulate contingency plans in the event the CSAO leadership persists in calling an illegal strike. We hope that doesn't happen. We expect that our employees won't break the iaw. But if they do, we are determined to meet our responsibility to maintain those services you rightfully expect to receive from your govern- ment. W. beliieve we have been fîr and roasonable with our employees and responsible to you as taxpayers and to the economy of our province.
