Township strike continues . (From page 1) gotiate, The current salary range for the 11 i is from $10,920 to $18,270, with the median be- ing about $15,000 per year. The Township offer of $2,000 across the board represented an in- crease of about 12 per cent (on av- erage) Councillor Graham said the council simply is not prepared to offer more than that in a single year, though he acknowleded that the municipal salaary range is low when compared to others. Another factor he cited in the Township's offer was the sick- leave buy-out negotiated earlier this year for all municipal em- ployees with the Township. Accummulated sick-leave days were "bought out" on a 50 cents on a dollar basis. Thus, if an em- ployee had 100 sick leave days, he/she was paid the salary equival- ent of 50 working days. One sore point with the CUPE members was the raise giv- en management staff this spring in the $5,000 range. Councillor Graham defended the raises given to management, saying council felt management's workload and responsibilities have increased, and "they deserve to be compensated for this," And he said he takes exception to the CUPE members comparing ~ their wage demands with those given to management. "I don't like it. It is like comparing apples and oranges," he said. With the 11 employees off the job, management is trying to keep the municipal business function- ing. Mr. Cherry said the strikers on the picket line are not attempt- ing to stop or discourage the gen- -eral public from crossing the line to do business in the Township office. But some citizens have de- clined on their own to cross the line. | The 11 office workers werc certified into the CUPE Local 1785 earlier this year. Once this dispute is settled and a first con- tract signed, they will become members of the same bargaining unit as the outside employccs, whose contract expires on January 1, 1989. If the strike goes beyond ten business days, the strikers will be able to draw $20 per day strike ay. P Y And Mr. Cherry told the Star that other CUPE Locals in Dur- ham Region are already starting to come forward with money for the Scugog employees. Meanwhile the 11 striking employees have written a letter to the editor about their wage dc- mands. That letter is printed in its en- tircty on the "letters to the editor" page in this week's Port Perry tar.
