CAS workers
reject wage -offer
BY DAVE SYKES
Children's Aid Society employees in Goderich
have voted in favor of strike action to back
wage and benefit demands.
• The 13 members of the Canadian Union of
Public Employees (CUPE) Local 1427 voted in
favor of strike .action Monday after con-
cilliation efforts failed.
Gord MacDonald of the CUPE London office
said that no settlement has - been reached
despite concilliation efforts and the employees
rejected the latest offer.
The 13 CAS employees have been without a
contract since December 31, 1979. They are
seeking a 15 per cent across the board increase
and improvements in car allowance,
reclassification provisions, a. revision of
statuatory holidays and contract language.
In, the latest efforts to reach a settlement, the
employees were offered'an eight per cent in-
crease effective January 1, 1980 and an ad-
ditional one per cent hike on July 1, 1980.
However, MacDonald said the offer did not
include any provisions for car allowance or
reclassification and there was no improvement
to the vacation or statuatory holiday position.
Management will again meet with the con-
cilliation officer and if a settlement cannot be
reached, the officer will then submit a report to
the Ministry of Community and Social Services.
The union will be in a legal strike position 16
days after the report has been submitted.
To disprove the adage,
"You can't make a silk
purse out of a sow's ear,"
scientist Arthur D. Little
boiled dawn a hundred
sows' ears into a fluid. '
., Then, through a
complicated spinning and
drying process, he
converted the fluid to a
long strand of synthetic
silk. From this was made
a purse now on display at
the Smithsonian
Institution.
