VON settles two-week strike
Local. union president not happy with cuts
By Scott Nixon
T-4 Reporter
STRATFORD• - •ihe two-week old VON strike end -
.ed -with the signing of a two-year agreement which•saw
nurses' mileage allowances cut. • :
The mileage issue was the major stur.Ibling, block in
the negotiation process•and Cathy Thomson, president
of the Perth -Huron Practical Nurses Federation of On-
tario says she isn't happy allowances have been cut.
Under the new contract, registered practical nurses
will_sce their milcagc allowances cut from 28 cents per
kilometre to 17 cents per kilometre. Following the first
• 2,500 kilometres,•the rate increases to 20 cents per kil-
. metre.
Executive director of Perth -Huron. VON, Lynne
McDonald described the settlement as a compromise
from both sides and admitted the milcagc allowance'
isn't as high as what the -union had asked for.
McDonald added she's happy thc strike is over be-
cause "a strike isn't pleasant for everybody," and noted
that' since. i1 is a two-year contract, negotiators won't
be forced hack to the bargaining table for awhile.
Thomson, while saying the bargaining process was
fair for. both sides, said the cuts in mileage will cost
RPNs $5,000412,000 annually, depending on how lar
they have to drive to visit their clients: She estimates
she drives 50-100 kilometres per day and says the new
reduced mileage will pay for her gas and an oil change
but won't give her anything for the wear -and tear on
her vehicle.
Despite the reduced allowance, Thomson said the
RPNs arc glad to be back to work and said, since many
of thc RPNs at the. Penh -Huron Branch arc single
mothers, they couldn't really afford to he on strike.
The strike affected' 600 nurses in Stratford. Sarnia,
Chatham, Guelph, Waterloo. Oshawa,, Pembroke,• Ot-
tawa, Cornwall, Sudbury, Brockville and•Kingston.
