A MacDuff Ottawa Report The Men Who Work for Us OTTAWA - A vigorous protest cm paign has been organized across the coun- try by the federal civil servants. They firmly believe the government has given an unireasonable "no" to their reasonable request for an increase in wages. The civil service was convinced that it was foîng to get a raise. When the increases ,ailed to materialize the civil servants were bitter and their reactions explosive. Some have gone so far as to mutter about a one-day strike, others are proposing a mnass march on parliament bill. Protest rallies have been organized in the larger centres so that civil servants can join to register their disappointment over flot receiving the higher pay. At the same time the demonstrations are dEýsign- ed to make the public and the goverfi- ment realize that the civil servants mean business. But they will not go so far as to strike. Their leaders have given a no- strike pledge and the majority of the gov- ernment workers are well aware that to strike would lose them any public support they now may have. The Civil Service Commission had recomniended increases. It had been gen- erally expected the government would act on that recommendation. If the pay raises went to the civil servants then uimilar pay hikes would go to the members of the armed forces and to the R.C.M.P. Finance Minister Fleming bas estimated it would cost the treasury $242,000,000 annually for the 180,000 government work- ers and members of the forces and R.C.M. P. totalling about 125,000. Not only was the civil service disap- pointed over the "no" it received from Mr. Fleming, but it has reacted against the governiment's handling of the pay rejec- tions. New procedures recently inaug- urated for determining civil service pay were put in doubt by the government's flat rejection and'its blanket criticism of the commission 's recommendations for the raise. The government in its rejection notice stated: "Even apart from financial con- siderations, the government is not prepar- ed to accept the commission s recom- mendations." This has been construed as criticism of the commission. The Finance Minister however, wbile agreeing that it could be so construed, will not state whether the governmcnt was critical of most or just a few of the recommendations. He bas declined to state whether the government was critical of the pay research study on which the recommendations were based or just the conclusions reached as a result of that study. To answer such questions says Mr. Fleming would be to disclose the recom- mendations. The government has f latly refused to make the recommendations public, although the commissions recom- mendations last year against increases wtth whieh Le Incrpcrtd the DowmanvW. News. The.

The minister bas made an interesting distinction. He says it was proper to make a full public disclosure in 1958 because the- government was giving "full effect" to the report. But it is im- proper to do so this year because the gov.- ernment is not prepared to i.mplement the recommendations. The civil servants feel they have a strong case. They point out the civil service commission's recommendations covered 1,340 job categories. These are spread over the country and take in ahi types of occupations. But how can the public properhy make up its mind which side is right unless it bas the facts before it? The government should make the commission's recommendations public when it disagrees, just as much as when it agrees. There is concern in some government quarters that the morale of the civil serv- ice will take, a severe joît. There could be slowdowns in work. If raises are not provided in some of the key posts the calibre of the civil service will suffer. Certainly the recent setback suffered by the Conservatives in the Ottawa-Russel by-election can be attributed largehy to disgrunthed civil service voters. The issue is now in the political arena. Opposition Leader Pearson has blasted the gavern- ment for the "inept and arrogant way" in which the recommendations of the Civil Service Commission were rej ected. There are three organizations of civil servants - the Civil Service Association with about 30,000 members, mainly fromn the headquarters staff in Ottawa; the Civil Service Federation with about 90,000 members, consisting mainly of those in the field such as postmen and customs men; and the Prof essional Institute of Civil Servants with a membership of about 7,000. Last sumnier these three groups set up a Joint Action Conimittce ta wark and press for pay raises. When the govern- ment announced there would be no pay hikes the Joint Action Committee decided to resort to a widespread publicity cam- paign in addition to rallies to enlist the support of the public for their case. They have utilized newspaper advcrtisements, sent our press releases and gone on the air over radio and television, to present their point of view. Parliament may open Jan. 14. There bas been talk in the Joint Action Commit- tee organizing a mass march on parlia- ment bill that day. It was such talk in- cluding reports of some groups urging a one-day strike that aroused the ire of the Professional Institute. It broke with the Joint Action Committee. It said there was nothing to be gained by threats of mass marches or strikes. The institute has said it will aperoach the federal gov- ern.ment on its own to seek a salary increase for its own members. On the whole the civil servants are aroused as they seldom have been before. The commission cautioned the govern- ment last December that it was an unsatis- factory situation that there was no "syste- rnatic procedure" for bringing together representatives of the civil servants and of the government for discussion of wages and working conditions. It forecast that the inevitable consequences would be pressure tactics and public controversy. Its forecast has proved accurate.
