It’s new. It's unique. It's a breakthrough for those who want a mortgage that gives them every advantage. It's called the RateCapper Mortgage and it gives you all the security of a 5 year fixed term combined with the flexibility of a variable rate. The difference is, we'll start you off below the RateCapper fixed rate. Then as the prime drops, your rate follows suit. So, you get the savings of a variable rate mortgage. If rates go down you save. If rates go up, you’re protected because you can never exceed your established RateCapper 5 year fixed rate.

It's on that note - the possibility that the 2,900 total won't make con- cessions that will keep 700 of their membership employed at Macungie - that there's hope for the Oakville plant to remain open. cessmns propo: However, mpresents M master contr "l suppose there could be some hope if the UAW workers in the States vote against the proposal," said Foley. The vote takes place Fri. April 23rd. It will be counted on Sunday and Oakville workers should know the results Mon., April 26th, when a meeting has been scheduled between Mack company officials and the Canadian unions. "It's my understanding that if they do vote to take this concessions pack- age. production from Oakville will be transferred down to the Pennsylvania plant," Foley said, adding, the Canadian employees don't have trans- fer rights to those jobs. "My understanding is if they accept this concessions package, the people in the UAW in the U.S., we will not be building trucks here at Mack Truck in Oakville," Foley said. Foley hasn't released the contents of the proposed tentative agreement with the US. workers however she confirmed proposed concessions include: giving up a cost-of-living allowance for 18 months, extending MACK 's employees see little hope T contract with Mack ms proposal must be at 2.900 UAW Mack (Continued trom page K Service Road East 'avor of the Macuns cause the e UAW which workers has a the he con- pted by orkers 1n their contract to 1998, giving up employer contributions to training and supplemental unemployment insur- ance funds, and allowing some work from Pennsylvania to be transferred to the company's Georgia and Maryland plants. If the concessions package isn't accepted by the US. Mack employ- ees, the company has said it would close the Macungie assembly plant and Foley admitted, there was also the attached question of whether Mack's worldwide headquarters in Allentown. PA. (some 20 minutes away from the Macungie plant) would remain open in that location. If the package isn't accepted, the two US. locations would close and the Oakville plant, shown by the com- pany's own studies to be more cost efficient than the US. counterparts, would remain open. this. The company does admit to us that we're certainly more cost effec- tive and do have the quality and pro- ductivity," said Foley. However, after nine years of down- sizing, through the entire company, including Oakville, Foley said the Oakville operation is now small. Foley admitted that's a point of frustration for the Canadian workers. "It's very difficult to understand "The company did state that they are 3,000 and we are 300," said Foley. Earlier this month, rumors of Mack's proposal to the US. workers filtered out to the Oakville plant and its unionized workers. It left them feeling powerless because they didn't appear to be a player in the negotia- tions which, if accepted by the US. workers, spells closure for the Oakville plant.

It's believed the UAW will unani- mously recommend the package of contract concessions proposed by the company to the US. workers as the price tag for keeping their jobs. Brian Short, business agent for the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers which represents the 138 Mack pro- duction employees says he's currently working on putting together a sever- ance package proposal. . "Right now we're gearing towards the potential and probable negotiation of a severance package. We have to realistically pursue that," said Short. Last week, that union spent three days in Allentown putting an eight- point concessions proposal of its own before company officials. -. . The company, said Short, indicated it would be making an official response to that proposal. To date, no response has been made and Short said he doesn't expect one until after the UAW voting, in light of the tenta- tive agreement. "Just knowing they have now come to a tentative agreement with the UAW, I'm certainly not optimistic at all that one or either two things will happen,"said Short, mentioning the UAW turning down the concessions package or the company agreeing to "keep Oakville’s plant an open and viable entity with Mack." . Oakville's Mack plant at one time employed 620 people. Today 138 remain working in the assembly plant while 32 remain in the office. Short said the union put its eight- point concessions proposal before the company because it felt it was an obli- gation to the employees of Oakville to at least do that, however he said, "The company has chosen to continue negotiating with the UAW.
