WANAMAKER Port Perry a ghost town? - It's not all that bad, but it is Port Perry at nine a.m. Sunday, January 31, New Years Labour Ministry Labour Minister Fern Guindon said today that 1972 was a year of great change. and reorganization in the Ministry of Labour. Ina year-end review of the activities of the Ministry, he ac. | Anew, lower-priced milk replacer from Shur-Gain. To meet the rising costs of milk powders, we have partially replaced them with alternative sources of protein, in order to give you high quality nutrition at a more economical price. Economical because a 50 1b bag does exactly the same job as 500 Ibs of whole milk which could be sold for between $20-$30. That's some saving. And remember, this is a top quality product containing 25% protein and 9% fat. It's medicated with 100 gms of Aureomycin and 100 gms of Terramycin per ton, which together assist in the prevention of calf scours. So don't waste any time. Go to your local Shur-Gain dealer and ask him about Calflac. You'll know it by the blue and white bag! Wallace Marlow Co. Limited BLACKSTOCK, ONT. -- PHONE 986-4201 said several pieces of legis- lation were approved to assure equal opportunity in employment to all employ- ees in the province and to speed up hospital negotia- tions. Steps were also taken to promote more effective collective bargaining in the construction industry. Mr. Guindon, who became Minister of Labour in Febru- ary, 1972 said one of the most important developments was the restructuring of the Ministry to'make it a_more viable unit in its adminis- trative and policy-making roles to assist the 3,370,000 'workers in the province. A few days ago the Labour Minister. announced an in- crease in the minimum wage "to $1.80 an hour for em- ployees in general industry and $2.05 for construction employees to become effec- tive February 1. In addition, he said the Employment Standards Branch maintains and en- forces a variety of legislation designed to protect workers in both business and in- dustry.during the first 11 months of the year, the Branch collected $1,820,000 for 30,700 employees whé had been underpaid in areas of minimum wage, collection of wages, overtime pay, vaca- tion pay and termination pay. Up to the end of Novem- ber, the Branch recovered $499,228 for 960 employees who were laid off or their services terminated due to cutbacks in industry and plant closings. Mr. Guindon said the tenth anniversary of the proclam- ation of the Ontario Human Rights Code in June was marked by a comprehensive overhaul of thecode. The amendments incor- porated into the Code stren- gthened prohibitions against employment discrimination on the basis of sex, marital status and age, formerly covered by The Women's Equal Employment Oppor- Eve. It looks more like a Springbreak-up than right in the middle of the winter. year-end review tunity Act and The Age Discrimination Act. Sex and marital status were added to the list of prohibitions under the Code against discrimination in non-employment situations which include housing accommodation, notices and signs and access to public places. In addition the defin- ition of dwelling unit was broadened to increase the coverage of the housing prohibition. Provisions for maternity leave, previously set out in The Women's Equal Employment Opportunity Act, were transferred to The Employment Standards Act, recognizing maternity leave as a necessary employment standard. Mr. Guindon said during the year a number of labour problems developed and several _major strikes occurred. The total mandays lost due to work stoppages increased significantly over the' previous year, although there were fewer strikes involving fewer employees. "In the construction in- dustry where major bar- gaining will occur next year, a review panel has been appointed and has been con- sidering ways and means of providing more effective settlement machinery in col- lective bargaining," Mr. Guindon said. "We hope that it- will bring a measure of peace to the "negotiations scheduled to start early in the new year." The Labour Minister aiso noted that legislation was recently approved to speed up compulsory arbitration procedures in hospital 'la- bour disputes. This legis- lation is designed to shorten the time to set up arbitration machinery and to reach a decision. One of the most important developments in the Minis- - try of Labour during 1972, Mr. Guindon said, was the re-structuring of the Min- istry, to focus its programs and legislation more directly on the employee in his environment and his stand- ards of employment.
