If you don't belong to a union -- and the vast mnajori- ty of Canadians (organized labour propaganda notwith- standing) have rio union tics - the Canadian Union of Postal Workers hias 227 rea- sons why you should sign up with, it. The 227 reasons may 1w found in what CUPW calîs a "National Program of De- mands" These demnands forni the heart of the Union's posi- tion in guïrent negotiatioris for a new contract. The list of demands, as they appeared in the Union's national news magazine "CUPW", is not ea sily taken seriously - unless, it seerns, one happens to be an inside postal worker. If the Union has its way, a job in the Post Office will certainly beat working. Tiie postal workers are asking for ail those things that any sane emiployee would like - but neyer ex- pects to get. Like a 30-hour work week (6 hours a day, 5 days a week) - including lunch periods, hourly 10- minute rest breaks, and a 10- minute wash-up - in returu for 40 hours of pay. The National Prograni of Demnands includes numnerous breathtaking suggestions, in- There are more - many more - demnands, but you get the idea. And the average Canadian(and smnall business- man, in particular), as the Ca- nadian Federation of Inde- pendent Business points out, is being manoeuvred into a e"4no-win" situation. Either there wil be a prolonged postal strîke which could bring the system (along with cluding:. countless smaller businesses) - Double tirne for ail ove r- to its knees or there will be tue (and senior wor ke rs extreme concessions to the get fir-st chance at ail over- workers which will bankrupt tue); the already overburdened - Double time for Saturday post Offie shift work - and triple Aloche pan h tume on Sundays, even if Athe feral goernmnt is the hours are part of a reg- tfindgitdificit rraenge ular shift; fnigi ifcl o rag - 4 weeks of vacation time an early end to the wage and a yar or hemosjunor price control programme, a earor es mostldiunor7 despite pressures from the eipîoyes, building to s Canadian Labour Congress wf erekayaratr15as and organizatiofla represent- ofA asevi0cent n or ing big business interests. foA rase o 30 ces ahour A large postal settlement for ny orkr rlocted would set off a chain of stra- from one postal station to tospheric demands and set- another (even if the old tienients that would force a and new stations are in retumn to controls - on a lhe sanie block); permanent basis. - An end to aIl electronic The Canadien Fedieration of Independent Business O Community worker dies Harry Strowger Houistonl, an active comniunity worker ini Whitby for inany years, dicd Jtily 24 at bbce Dr. J.- O.
