The decision made Septem-
bps 2Ist by the Civil Service
Association of Ontario, to
demand a 61.5 percent wage in-
crease this year and to strike if
that demand is not met by
December 31st, is a storm war-,
ning that cannot be ignored,
Civil Service strikes were
outlawed more than two years
ago but there will be a
dislocating protracted and
acrimonious strike anyway
unless the Government acts
promptly, decisively and in
good faith to restore order and
reason ' to its
labour/management relations,
Clearly tjie Provincial. em,
ployees are not deterred by the
fact that their strike would be
illegal and in fact the com-
pulsory arbitration aspect of
the Government's heavy han-
ded and insensitive bargaining
procedure has intensified their
current militancy. If the Gover-
nment acts now to modify its
resiirictive Crown Employees'
Collective Bargaining Act, then
a strike can be avoided. Other-
wise an illegal strike appears
inevitable,.
Leader of the Official Op.
position, Robert Nixon, belives
that the present statute which
became law on May 30, 1972, is
unnecessarily restrictive. The
Liberal Party opposed it when
it was put through the
Legislature and Mr, Nixon said
during the debates that he
believed it is wrong in principle
and that anyone who supports
it will regret it. It is now ap-
parent that the legislation is
self defeating - that rather than
preventing strikes it has engen-
dered a bitterness and
frustration within the Civil Ser-
vice that threatens to provoke a
strike.
The arbitration provisions
which leave a 2 to 1 built-in
majority favouring the Govern-
ment and the exclusions of
almost all conditions of em-
ployment except salary are two
areas that must be corrected
before useful negotiations can
continue.
Mr. Nixon suggested that a
joint committee of MPP's and
representatives of the Civil Ser-
vice Association should be
established immediately before
relafiiins'iv"ith"Eh"e"60;000 Over-
nment employees deteriorate
further, to redraft the law
governing Crown Employees
contract negotiations, The new
legislation should establish free
and open negotiations in all
areas dealing with salary and
working conditions for Provin--
cial employees,
The new law must recognize,
however, that certain •em-
ployees of the government per-
form essential services, which
they cannot be permitted to
withdraw by means of a strike
or a walkout. Specifically police
protection and certain other
services such as the basic care
of patients in psychiatric
hospitals should be recognized
1*.' Jdu'k Riddell, Huron MPP
by reasonable people as essen-
tial,
The joint committee should
determine which other
categories of employees, if any,
would endanger the health or.
safety of the community at
large if they were to withdraw
their services and should
provide for an efficient and fair
arbitration procedure for ,these
employees,
There is no way, however,
that any essential characteristic
can be associated with the
people who work for example in
the liquor stores or many of the
government offices, whose ser-
vices, while important to a
community are not so essential
that their withdrawal would
endanger health or safety;
During the last two years
elected representatives have
had experiences at the Federal,
Provincial and Municipal
levels with strikes in the public
service area. There have been
Medal strikes among the fire
fighters at airports and by some
hospital workers in this
Province and in other jurisdic-
tions.
Obviously the solution is not
simply to put those people
breaking' the law, as it presen-
tly is, in jail. It must be
recognized that if the laws are
so constructed that broad
categories of people find them-
selves unable to obey them,
then we do.not have the proper
solution to the problems, that
our laws are designed to solve -
problems that have been with
us in the past and are growing
in intensity and scope day by
day.
This view is apparently
shared by Senator Carl Golden-
berg, who was recently appoin-
ted by the Davis Government
as mediator in the Toronto
Transit Commission labour
dispute. He wrote last year that
"compulsory arbitration will
not in itself eliminate strikes.
In Australia where it has been
in effect for many years, there
are many more strikes and
walkouts annually than in
Canada. Its experience shows
that compulsory arbitration
does not prevent strikes; it only.
makes them illegal,"
Surely t}ie',VOittnmeii 'e 'ob-
jective must be to prevent
strikes not simply to make
them illegal. In the present, cir-
cumstances, it appears that a
Civil Service strike cannot be
prevented unless the law is
changed to provide greater
freedom of negotiation and to
restrict compulsory arbitration
to employees whose services are
essential.
The composition of the Ar-
bitration Board which as
presently established, is seen to
be weighted in favour of the
Government, is an additional
problem. The procedure which
allows the government to ap-
point One member and the
Chairman of the three-man
Board reinforces, in the view of
the employees and many objet,
tive observers, the impression
that the legislation as it now
stands .is fraught with problems
and possibilities for unfairness
and injustibe,
At the upcoming session of
the Legislature the government
must bring, forward new
legislation as developed by the
joint committee of MPP's and
Civil Service representatives
that will correct this
situations and also make it
possible to negotiate with
provincial employees in a free
and open manner in all areas
dealing with salary and
working conditions.
Once again emphasis must be
placed on the fact that certain
employees perform essential
services and must be so
regulated but the general
categories of employment must
have access to free negotiation
if we are ever to ,restore some
harmony and co-operation to
labour -management . relations
in the Provincial Civil Service.
The present advertising cam-
paign by the Civil Service
Association has emphasized
, this aspect even more than the
financial issue, and it is Mr.
Nixon's belief shared by the
members of his Caucus that it
would be impossible for any
reasonable negotiation to take
place on salaries and wages un-
til the ill -feelings related to the
method of negotiation are dealt
with.
In the opinion of the Official
Opposition, the demand for a
61.5 percent pay increase is
unrealistic and inflationary,
and must surely be recognized
as an initial bargaining stance
adopted by the government em-
ployees. It is the feeling of the
Official Opposition that there
should not be interference at
this stage with the negotiations
between the representatives of
the workers, that is the
executive of Civil Service
Association,. and the
Management Board of the
Province, which has the respon-
sibility to bargain for the
management side.
If the atmosphere of bitter-
ness` surrounding the Crown
Enieloyees' Collective
Bargaining Act is dispelled by
,thel'passage of new legislation,
the salary demand will un-
doubtedly be modified by
negotiations in the coming
months. The alternative is
heightened confrontation and
resistance on both sides of the
bargaining table, and even-
tually an illegal -strike which
will cause hardship to citizens
and taxpayers in every part of
the Province,
The Minister of Transpor-
tation and Communication in-
troduced a Bill entitled, An Act
to amend the Highway Traffic
'Act. This Bill deals with nine
subjects of legislation four of
which are of significant impor-
tance to the motoring public of

Tey are amendments
relating to the operation of
school buses., mandatory
driving license suspensions of
convictions under the criminal
code for offences involving the
operative dr a motor vehicle,
delegation of powers to
municipalities and the
regulation ,of motor assisted
assisted bicycles. The school
bus provisions are amended to
require the school bus stopping
law to apply to all highways
regardless of speed limit,
Under these provisions there is
an onus an the school bus
driver to activate the signals as
prescribed. Motorists following
a school bus must stop.
whenever school bus signal
Iights are flashing and motorist
meeting the bus must similarly
stop :except when on a highway
.divided by a physical barrier or
an unpaved .strip of ground.
These provisions alao prohibit
the use of chrome yellow paint
on ••busses other than school
buses, •
The driver license suspension
provisions prescribe a man-
datory three month suspension
for all first offences and a man-
datary six months suspension
for every subsequent conviction
within a five year period,
In furtherance to the policy
of delegating greater powers to
the municipalities the 13i11 con.
tains provisions which will
eliminate the need for approval

ning traffic with the' exception

An amendment providing a.
reduction. from 50 percent to 20
percent in Ontario's Land
Speculation Tax was given
third reading in the
Legislature, Revenue Minister,
Arthur M.een, 'said the tax
would lose its immediate im-
pact by being only 20 percent of
the amount of speculative gains
rather than a very substantial
healthy and significant 50 per-
cent, The amendment rose out
of the Federal Government's
refusal to allow the Provincial
tax for Federal Income tax pur-
poses. Those who have paid the
full 50 percent tax will receive
refunds plus 7 percent interest,
