The Town is waiting for a rep- ly to a request for informa- tion from the offices of the solicitor general and the at- torney general. While the Town can pass a bylaw requiring owners of multiple dwelling units to provide receptacles for recycled garbage, tenants of those buildings can't be compelled to recycle their garbage.

The Town wants the right to pick two weeks in July and August which most public works employees simultaneously would take as vacation. Other vacation time would be taken during the 10 other months of the year. The expired contract specifies that the employees have the option of three consecutive weeks of vacation between June 1 and Nov. 15. The offered contract removes the description of a regular work day as being from 8 a.m. to 12 noon and ie from 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. The revised section states only that a regular work day will be eight hours. Another contract change to which the union won't agree is a change from public works employees being available during the winter, if needed and at home or in the area, to be- ing available if needed at all times of the year if at home or in the area. After the Town-offered contract was presented on July 9 by union negotiators to the 18 public works employees, they voted 18-0 to strike if necessary. The union local negotiators had 33 com- ments about how the public works employees would be affected if the contract was accepted. The office staff, and the arena and parks employees, voted at the same time on similar con- tracts. The arena and parks employees voted 11 to 0 to strike if necessary. The of- fice staff voted 8 to 2 to strike if necessary.
