The four employee groups affected by the cutback — county planners, health administrators, health in- spectors and secretarial staff had two percent slashed from wage and benefit packages negotiated during 1977 and 1978. Employees in the county planning department had from $200 to $400 taken from' their annual earnings. The wage of a planning technician was cut from $12,740 to $12,558. Both county planner wages were rolled back, one wage from $19,786 to $19,318 and the other from $18,616 to $18,148. Supervisory staff in the health unit did not escape the AIB pencil. Three top ad- ministrators had two percent taken from their wage and benefit package. The director of nursing for the county now makes $18,642, the director of inspection makes $18,642 and the home care supervisor makes $18,122. Health unit employees that are members of the Canadian Union of Piibl'ic Employees Local 1305 reworked their contract after the AIB cut- back, altering the expiry date - and the benefit package. The employees were ready to settle on an 18 -month pact incorporating salary in- creases of four percent ef- fective July 1, 1977 and six percent January 1, 1978. Along with those increases was an agreement for the county to pick up two thirds of a dental plan for the em- ployees. The AIB did not accept the increase in the second year and ordered the package reduced to six percent. The change was made by amending the contract to expire June • 30, 1978, a one year agreement and the dental plan payment was reduced to 50 percent payment by the employer and employee. The changes are subject to AIB approval. The new wages for CUPE employees of the health unit provide public health in- spectors with $12,740 to start with a maximum of $15,990 for an employee with five years' service. The senior secretary -steno and secretary -bookkeeper will start at $7,779 and receive $9,854 after four years.

Group Three start 'at $8,320 and get $9,880 after five years. Group Four starts at $9,230 and have"a maximum of $10,700 and Group Five range. from $9,854 to $11,400.
