This statement was issued by Mr. W.R, Walters, manager of Hydro, Bow- manville area.' : In an unusual move, hydro a is urging cupe:local 1,000 members to request a vote i, on the new offer. Union members have never voted in the current dispute know- ing what issues they were accepting or rejecting. The original strike vote was taken in April before Hydro had an opportunity to pre- sent any monetary offer. "The New Proposal," said Mr. Walters, "is for a three year contract with a mini- & Mum wage increase of 16.5 'per cent and a maximum of 24 per cent,plus a cost of living allowance and other concessions. At this late stage of the dispute, hydro considers a three-year contract realistic, ¢' "It would provide an average wage increase of 7.15 per cent in the first year, 6.3 per cent in the second year and 6.35 per cent in the third year for a total of 19.8 per cent. The offer includes .9; an additional cost of living adjustment in each of the RECEPTION second and third years", he said. "The trades group would get a 22 per cent increase. This would add $1.19 over the three years totheir present hourly rate of $5.06 for a total of $6.25 an hour in 1974 for linemen and electricians and a first operator at Hydro's Transformer stations would receive an additional $1.18 an hour, bringing his basic rate to $7.19 in 1974', Mr. Walter stated. * Weekly salaried personnel which includes clerical and technical staff would receive an average increase of 18.1 per cent over three years. A junior clerk would receive an additional $23.51 a week, moving the present wage from $107.24 to $120.75 in 1974.

Employees would re- ceive three weeks. vacation after four years (now five) in 1973 after three years ser- vice in 1974. An additional Satilory holiday is included' in 1973 bringing the 'annual total to 11. On retiring benefits, Hydro is proposing a full earned pension upon retirement at age 62, effec- tive in 1973 and at age 61 effective in 1974". In two sessions of bargain- ing under provincial media- tors since the strike began June 21, the total number of items outstanding has been reduced from 110 to 30. Sm EDITOR ber of Commerce meeting that Queen Street is a privileged 'area and, by inference, the merchants doing business there a privi- leged few. Perhaps he would eluci- date the form this privilege takes. We have no less taxes to pay than anyone else; Queen Street is usually the last. street to be repaired after sewers etc. are in-. stalled or clean up needed; it is Queen Street which is blocked - to traffic for any local event. The Queen Street mer- chants are happy to support local fund raising drives and are public spirited in donat- ing toward various events. It should be remembered also that Port Perry is a fairly old town and modern chrome, glass and glitter filled stores would be inap- propriate to say the least. Surely service, courtesy and friendliness are more valuable than modern fix- tures and fronts. However, it would be nice to know the form this privilege, referred to by Reeve Kenny, takes. Yours truly, Proprietor of a Queen Street Business. | October 12 to October 21 80 SAR AAA AAA ALARA AAAAAIAAIAAIAATATATTITATTTITTTTTTTTTTAAAAAAALALAAALALLLAAALAALALALALAIAAALALALLALAALAAALALANA AANA NANNNNA NANA NASSAR ANNA SANNA NNNNNNNANN PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, Sept. 27, 1972-3 Utica News Service will be held in Epsom United Church on Sunday, October 1 at 11:30 a.m. Rev.
