Approximately 1000 people Community Living union employees ratify contracts DASHWOOD - CUPE Local 2597 South Huron Community Liv- ing employees ratified their • con- tract last Wednesday night after nearly ,18 months of negotiation. According to media contact Trevor McGregor, the 70 full-time and part-time union members did not vote unanimously in favor of the new agreements that expired July 1994 and September 1995. Gary Luker, a government media- tion officer, was appointed to con- clude thc collective agreement af- ter union members rejected a Community Living proposal in April. This decision resulted in a 98 per cent majority strike man- date. • Both parties in the nego- tiations were pleased a strike was avoided. "Thcrc will be no labor dispute," said McGregor, adding, "There arc still some outstanding issues." Contentious issues with the union include employees who have bccn on the same pay phrase for four years as well as managers who have been promoted. He said al- though management has increased, there has not been the same attar - lion paid to front-line staff. Man- agement is also offered a pension plan that is not available to front line staff. Union staff are also concerned with talk of potential amalgama- tion. The union hopes to be in- volved with personnel discussions in an effort to keep its membership informed. Community Living Board Pres- ident Paul Turnbull agreed the set- tlement is in the best interest of the clients.
