MO. 8-3703 The following notice, drawn Annual Salary Maybe 'Union Plan--Pilkey The functions of the labor movement, experiences in col- lective bargaining and the fu- ture goals of the movement were described this week to members of the Kiwanis Club of Whitby. Speaker was Clifford Pilkey, president of the Oshawa Labor Council who spoke at the regular dinner meeting at the Hotel Royal. Following an introduction by Kiwanian Ron Deeth, Mr. Pilkey said that his purpose was to express union's program to the) public to garner public sup- port. Recalling some of the experi- ences in collective bargaining, Mr. Pilkey said that in 1950 first attempts were made to write a pension plan into agree- ments, to make some provision for those who had worked for possibly 50 years for the same firm. He said that industrializa- tion had changed society from an agricultural one where the family was an economic unit and made the pension plan neces- sary. He said that the union sug- gested $1.50 per month for the months of employment. Man. agement, he said, did not agree and sald the worker should save enough out of his earning to provide for his old age. "But we pointed out that there were executives in the corpora- tion who were making about $330 per hour who voted them- although workers must live by hour. In 1955, he said, an at- guaranteed annual wage. The benefits, By this plan, he said, of his net pay while unemployed. Lately, he said, UAW presi. dent Walter Reuther has sug- gested putting all workers on an annual salary. Referring particularly to Gen- eral Motors, Mr. Pilkey said that GM's profit last year was $900 million. "When they put the blame on the industrial worker for the high cost of living, their profit position should also be pointed out," he said. : Lately, he said, the union has negotiated an improvement fac- tor, based on 2.5 per cent of the hourly rate, a formula that would pay the worker his share of the plant's technological progress, or his share of the in- crease in the gross national product, "This should not increase the cost of the product," said Mr. Pilkey, "yet we are convinced that corporations are raising offs at the plant. He said that the year, they are paid by the tempt was made to work on the corporation agreed to a plan of supplementary unemployment the worker now gets 65 per cent disgrace. There is a great po- tential in our nation and every- one should be fully employed. "We have made tremendous progress in the field of de- struction," he said. '""We have conquered space and we talk of sending men to other planets and yet we have not solved the social problem of unemploy- ment." During the war years, he said, everyone was at work ~nd there was no question of money. In Canada at present, he said, there are thousands of homes without washing machines or bathrooms and these unfilled needs in the homes could be| met if all the people were fully iemployed. | "A nation as rich as our Gets Custody Of Daughter Kurt George Duell, 33, of 75 Hurley road, Ajax, received cus- tody of his seven-year-old daughter in Whitby County Court, Monday.

Duel and Hedwig Cummings separated in September of 1956 and the child had been living with her paternal grandparents in Vienna, Austria.
