sixteen pages pwt office dapt ottawa qeomctown otftamo wednesday sbtemuk 3rd fust section dispute on one clause delays union agreement approval of a union agreement with local 73 national union of public service employees was de- layed last night when council be came involved in a lengthy argu ment about one contract clause wett agreement was finally reached on the clause the hour was so late that a motion to have the agreement signed on the towns behalf was delayed a week the union in a letter from its negotiator m t cooney signi fied its acceptance of the agree ment which was negotiated by the union and councils admini strative committee officers of the newlyformed union are herb robinson 27 arietta st presid ent william norton is arietta st vice president and tom schenk r r 3 secretarytreasu rer the agreement contains sun- stantially the same setup as has been in effect before employees were unionized no changes have been made in btours of work or pay rates the town foreman is allowed to hire temporary emplo yees but such a man if he works a continuous six months is to be considered a permanent emplo yee the agreement in the form presented to council is to run for a calendar year and it was here that the council dispute began with crs hyde and harrison lead ing a 4man faction which sought to have the agreement in force from april 1st to march 31st they argued that if council wish es to negotiate for a contract change notice must be given wi thin a 60 day period prior to the agreements termination with the dec 31st date one council would give the notice and a new council would be negotiating cr hyde said and date should be changed so one council would be handling the entire business mayor armstrong argued that as town business is operated for a calendar year it is better to have the agreement period coincide when crs hyde and gunn made a motion to change the date to march 31st was made he asked for a recorded vote but said if the motion carried he would support the amended agreement with hyde harrison gunn and elliott voting for the new date the motion was lost he drew criticism from cr har rison for asking that the vote be recorded our discussion is useless the councillor said if the adminis tration committee all came to the meeting with their minds set ag ainst any changes the mayor indicated more by what he didnt say than what he did that the agreement was just being read and was not for discussion please dont start accusing me of things i didnt say said the mayor no one has convinced me yet of the need for a date change cr harrison hit the nail on the head said cr hyde the committee has done an excellent job on this agreement except for one weak spot and i feel they wont admit it once high school caretaker john evans
