Bill 105, which guaranteed pay equity for the civil service, was introduced introduced in February 1986 and held up in the Justice Committee for clause by clause examination since October, In November, the government government decided to introduce a new package - Bill 154, which included pay equity for all public and private sector employees. But even this legislation has many flaws. The Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) asked municipalities to write to the Premier of Ontario and to local members of the provincial legislature to voice their concerns about the role of municipalities in implementing the-proposed legislation. legislation. Like many municipalities, Durham Region and the City of Oshawa called on the government to endorse the AMO. In a letter to Premier Peterson, they informed him of their opposition to the hasty application of the amended Bill 105 (Bill 154) to municipalities, and that pay equity for municipalities be contained in separate legislation that properly and specifically addresses addresses the municipal circumstance. Some- municipalities are afraid of Courtice group meeting with School Board The Courtice and. Area Community Community Association, is meeting with the Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education oh February 2nd when concerns of the Courtice area are to be discussed. Town council has deferred any action as to a Courtice letter requesting requesting the Town to discuss with the Ministry to have Courtice and Bowmanville join with the Durham Board of Education. Action was deferred untjl after! the February meeting. Counc. Cowman said there was conern in the Courtice area over the Harsh words for Eldorado (Continued from page 1) municipality", stated Winters. Counc. Hamre said the whole thing is a farce. "We were told five years ago that the easterly pond at the dump was flowing into the lake during the spring and there is no way to correct the problem. Counc. Hubbard said the provincial provincial government was soft on the issue, "we need back-up". Mayor Winters then said that the provincial government had recently passed some tough laws as to polluting. Counc. Stapleton said Eldorado was doing no different than other corporation but unfortunately the Town is a party to this. He said, "We know pollutants are going into the lake". Counc. Cowman pointed out that they had accepted the advantages advantages of Pickering and Darlington but don't want to know about the disadvantages. "We agreed to Darlington Darlington but now want to close down Eldorado that produces the fuel for the Darlington plant. Mayor Winters said the town had gotten nowhere with Eldorado over the past seven years, "We want no more, get out". Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, January 14, 1987-11 Post Office dosings (Continued from page 1) In speaking of privatization McLaughlin said it would affect 11,000 jobs across Canada. She said these , fairly, decent paying jobs would be then Offered at a rate of 4.35 an hour. McLaughlin said Canada Post expects to operate in 1988-89 with a profit of $53 million. Marg Wilbur, who is seeking the Durham and Northumberland NDP nomination, said "We are concerned concerned over the Canada Post proposals - and wish to know your views." She asked that concerned citizens send a copy of any letter to Ed Broadbent's office. Wilf Day also stating that the Corporation did not plan to extend any existing rural route to serve new customers. Following the meeting it was pointed out to Wilf Day that a news release had mentioned the possible closing of the Orono Post Office but was not mentioned in the list of possible closures af the meeting. Day said he had had second thoughts on the possible closing of the Orono Post Office. The. Orono Post office could be a candidate as one for private contracting. Cureatz having problems with the complex implementation process set out in the new bill. Others worry there will not be sufficient time to develop new pay equity plans. Finally, some worry there will not be enough money to meet the new requirements. requirements. The issues raised by the AMO are important ones and many of the difficulties in extending equal value to the municipal sector are attributable attributable to the approach taken in Bill 105 itself. The AMO makes some good points. As your M.P.P. I share the commitment commitment of the AMO to workplace equality carried through a well- defined legislative framework. Some of the changes the Opposition parties have proposed to Bill 105 will accomplish this goal. However, equal value policies must be carried out in collaboration with other strategies to deal with the causes of gender discrimination. Initiatives are needed on employment equity, training, and child care so that women can reach their full potential in the workplace. I was pleased to again have the opportunity of attending the various Oshawa New Year Day levees for 1987. Sadly however, I had to say farewell to many of the organizations because of provincial Riding redistributions my responsibilities responsibilities would be moving further ' north.
