' Lewis' riding office has received between 30 and 36 telephone calls complaining about the postal strike, Public opinion among a group from his Orillia riding that he spent a day with recently ran 10-1 in favour of a legislated end to the strike, he said yesterday from his Ottawa office. Lewis explained that while he is not against strikes in the public sector, he believes government workers in essential services should have to give up some rights, among them the right to strike. Government service means security and freedom from the need to stay in business that is part of the working world in the private sector, he said. Simcoe North's MP said that he has legislate, knowledge of a Midland firm that is par- ticularly under stress because of the postal strike. The unnamed business made a large sale in June and the cheque, for a con- _ siderable amount, Lewis said, which the business needs to pay federal sales tax on July 21 and provincial sales tax on July 31, is stalled somewhere in the mail system. While businesses do not have bills coming in, they do not have money coming in either and they still have a payroll to meet, he said. He also has sympathy for the letter carriers who are out of work through no fault of their own. The letter carriers do not receive any money because they are laid off, and they MP says must wait two weeks to start qualifying for unemployment insurance, which doesn't match, in any event, their regular salary. In marked contrast, the Conservative MP knew of only one call to his riding office complaining on the subject of the MP's voting themselves a pay raise recently. Lewis said that Canadians should make up their minds that it will be a good thing for MP's to be drawn from the broader range of people. Lawyers dominate the House of Commons now and Lewis is himself a lawyer. Lawyers tend to become politicians, ac- cording to Lewis, because lawyers find it easier to leave their profession for politics because they know they can return to the practice of the law if they choose to leave, or are forced to leave, politics. Bank managers would make a_ good member of Parliament, Lewis said, from his experience, but there aren't likely more than five former bank managers in the House of Commons because, he said, a person leaving the corporate world for politics would have difficulty returning. He cited the case of a school teacher who represented Sault Ste. Marie for five years in the House, and who upon his defeat in the last election found when he applied for a teaching job in his riding that jobs were allotted on the basis of seniority. The teacher's time spent serving his country in Ottawa wasn't considered in his application for a teaching job, Lewis said. Members of Parliamentnow receive a salary of $40,000 and a tax-free allowance of $14,000. NS ae Ree pe
