On Tuesday, February 7, 1989 the company presented a substantially revised monetary proposal to the union committee, the de- tails of which are as follows: Three year contract; Year one Effective on ratification - 250 per hour increase. Effective on ratification - payment for New Year's Eve, 1988 and New Year's Day 1989. 4. in addition , all employees with seniority of 10 years or more receive an extra 100 per hour, and employ- ees with 5 - 9 years seniority receive an an)e_ittla 50 per hour, effective on ratification. For example, an employee with ten years service would receive $10.96 per hour on`.ratification. Em- ployees with 5 - 9 years service would receive $10.86 per hour on ratification. Year two - Effective November 1, 1989 - 200 per hour in- crease. Year three - Effective November 1, 1990 - 35c per hour in- crease. Ontario Dentist Association Rates effective Novem- ber 1, 1989 will be 1986 ODA rates and November 1, 1990 will be 1987 ODA rates.• Employee benefits paid by the company total about $3.69 per hour, making total compensation approxi- mately $15. per hour. There were a number of factors that the company used in putting together its monetary proposal. General Coach wages and benefits are among the very highest in our area. The company's average wage rates are about $2.00 per hour more than our major competitors in Ontario, making it more difficult for us to compete. As well General Coach employ- ees receive the- best employee benefits in our in- dustry; OHIP, 11 paid holidays, vacation pay, sup- plementary h ealth benefits (drug plan), sickness iyc,45',e5,r `•trSi(Liirrt.,4,-;T1(PiiciF ftw@ Retaining our market_s.hare has become extremely difficult in light of the Eastern Canadian competi- tion. We also face severe competition from U.S. manufacturers who pay lower wages and benefits anri am ahln In ,rnrIprrut our prices as a result of the change in the Canadian dollar. The a lvertt of free trade could.worsen this competition. We urge you to speak to the Union and the bargain- ing committee so that you can vote for the compa-. ny's February 7th monetary package and trust that we can reach an agreement to immediately get everybody back to work. Yours very truly A. (manse, General Manager. 1
