Unionization at WDH
seems to be stalled
Attempts , by organizing of-
ficials from the Service Em-
ployees Union to get registered
nursing assistants, maintenance,
kitchen and ambulance workers
at Wingham and District Hospital
to join the SEU seemed to have
been stalled, at least for the time
being, according to the hospital's
Executive Director Norman
Hayes. •
Mr. Hayes told., the hospital's
Board of Governors last Wednes-
dayrevening that the whole mat-
ter o a union coming into the hos-
pital to represent workers .came
to his attention quite by accident.
The executive director said that a
department head at the hospital
pointed out a notice calling for an
organizational meeting last,
week. Mr. Hayes said he im-
mediately had notices of ' the
Meeting spread throughout the
hospital to inform the employees
that such a•,meeting Was planned,
He -then met with department
heads and explained the new sal-
aryarr endents,. to thorn.,
they coin turn pass the in-
formation on to any employees
who might ask about them.
Mr. Hayes said it was his un-
derstanding the organizational
meeting had failed to convince
hospital employees of the need
for a union. None of the em-
ployees at the meeting had signed

union. ers.
certification. The executive
director noted that a majority of
the workers affected need not
vote for the union, just a majority
of those who . actually vote, -
Therefore, if 12 out 40 workers
cast ballots on the question and of
those 12, seven vote in favor, then
the union, can go to the OLRB for
action on the case.
If the union meets either of the
requirements necessary to apply
for a certification hearing, the
OLRB orders 'a freeze on any
matter or action that might in-
fluence the workers' decision in
joining or turning down the union.
Mr. Hayes went on to say that if
less than 65 per cent of the work-
ers have signed, then hospital
representatives could go to the
hearing and argue on behalf of
the employees who weren't in
favor of union _ representation.
They can also exempt depart- .j
ment management personnel and
assistantsfrom voting and there-
by erode the union's voting base:
♦ ?
Board naenalier)RobektiGthsani
asked Mr, Hayes what. workers =
would be eligible to vote. Mr.
Hayes told him that only fulltime
employees could vote to bring in
a union. Mr. Hayes added that he
had been slightly concerned be-
cause the union would only have
to sign 17 Wingham employees to
make up 35 per cent of the work -
Mr. Hayes explained the pro- DeWitt Miller inquired • if the

on the matter. If a majority of mented that it is a very danger -

West Wawanosh
to count dogs
Dogs took up a good deal of the
discussion time at the September
meeting of West Wawanosh Twp.
council last week as the coun-
cillors discussed what to do with
them and how to count them. The
council finally agreed that, for
this year at least, a survey to
ascertain the number of dogs in
the township should be taken and
the count recorded for 1974
taxing. The •clerk was also in-
structed to contact officials in the
Village of Auburn regarding a
dog count there.
A township resident came to
council to discuss recent in-
cidents of dogs chasing his cattle.
Morley Johnston appealed to
council to„ have the matter in-
vestigated but there was no
decision reported on the matter.
Four poundkeepers were
present at the meeting to discuss
rates which are to be included in
a bylaw being drawn up pursuant
to the Pounds Act, Poundkeepers,
Bill Kinahan, Allan Miller, Ted
Robinson, and Tom Young ap-
peared before council to add their
thoughts to the discussion.
In other business Robert
Jefferson and Roger Rieman
petitioned council for action
following a cave-in at the St.
Marie drain on the county road.
Again no decision was reported
on the matter.
On a motion from Councillors
Foran and Hickey A. W. Clark
and Associates of Wingham were
appointed to make a survey and
prepare a plan, profile and report
of a drainage system in the
township. The move was
prompted after several residents,
most notably Harold Gaunt,
made a request to council that
such an investigation be under-
taken.
The council members tabled a
resolution a from the council of
Whitby which called for a review
of liquor licencing laws to weed
out some of the red tape and
"aggravation” caused by the
present regulations.
After a brief discussion of
reports that garbage designated
for the dump had turned up in
other areas, the council in-
structed the township clerk to
contact the proper authorities by
letter to have the situation rec-
tified.
In a final section of business
council passed road and general
accounts for payment by the
township.
BELMORE 1i
Kathy Underwood hosted the
third meeting at which Mrs. Fin-
lay demonstrated packing a suit-
case.
The girls discussed preparing
for guests and getting ready to go
to a friend's house.
The next meeting will be held
September 23 at Lori Stafford's
home.
if, in spite of efforts to bar the
union, it does manage to become
certified an animosity between
the union and . the hospital ad-
ministration would already be es-
tablished. That, he felt, could af-
fect the bargaining tactics the
union might use in subsequent
contract negotiations.
Mr. Hayes stated that he was
convinced that the union officials
involved here were honorable
and reasonable men. He said he
personally knew the president of
the SEU and was sure such tac-
tics wouldn't be used. In fact, Mr.
Hayes said that the SEU would be.
as good a union as any to bargain
with i it should represent Wing -
ham workers. He noted that the
union, which is quite strong in the
Georgian Bay region, has very
good relations with the hospitals
in which their workers are em-
ployed.

Robert Ritter commented.that he

Sr. Citizens
rents go up
in September
Early in August the tenants of
senior citizens' accommodation
received a letter from the Ontario
Housing Ministry explaining that
there would be modest increases
in the rental rates, which are
geared to the tenant's income in
all cases. Reason for the increase
is that under the Ontario Govern-
ment's Guaranteed Annual In-
come System (GAINS) single
persons are guaranteed an an-
nual income of not less than
$2,600 and couples not less than
$5,200.
The letter also pointed out that
the basis of such rental is that it
shall be 20 per cent.of the income
of asingle person or a couple, and
even after the rent increases
become effective, that per-
centage will not increase.
One of our senior citizens has
pointed out, hoWever, that some
of her friends have become con-
fused over the time the increase
takes effect. The higher rentals
