The Board opened its Monday, July 26 special meeting with a private session at- tended by Mr. Shaw, his lawyer Kim McLean, and the Board's lawyer Dan Murphy. "Bruce requested to come and speak to us as a delegation so we allowed him to come," said Board Chairman John Jewitt. "Bruce has stated he will be going to Goderich secondary school as principal, and we are pleased with that decision. We are looking forward to good things in Goderich." Mr; Jewitt clarified that Mr. Shaw had not dropped his objection to the move from South Huron to GDCI, but has decided he will not fight the Move. eseetasemiee The chairman would not comment on what effect Mr. Shaw's decision will have on the transfer of Central Huron Secondary School's principal Joe Wooden. RATIFY CONTRACT TheliCBE also ratified a collective agree- ment with its secretaries' union. The two year agreement with the approximately 100 members of the union is effective July 1, 1989. The agreement gives salary increases of 5 per cent per year, with a further possi- ble cost of living protection increase in the second year, as well as some improvements in benefits. The Board now has agreements in place with its secretaries, elementary teachers, and secondary occasional teachers for the coming year.

He noted, as an example, that the Stria ford force will be cut from 32 to 13, yet it will be responsible for the supervision of twice as much mileage of track. CN, on the other hand, insists that studies conducted by its engineers have established that a reorganization and mechanization of the track forces is necessary, in order to provide a "substan- tially more efficient and cost effective maintenance of the company's trackage while maintaining and improving upon the current high safety standards". CN has in- formed the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees that such improvements in safety, efficiency and economies will further contribute to the company being able to be more. competitive, and will . hopefully attract and retain business. "The changes contemplated by the com- pany involve a reduction of current perma- nent track forces, coupled with the in- troduction of a variety of modern and state of the art equipment such as boom trucks, frog trucks, speed swings, crew crane transporters, ballast regulators for snow service, tie change -out machines and miscellaneous small machines. The pro- posed change will also involve the Turn to page 15.

About 10 per cent of those lost jobs will be in Southwestern Ontario, and among those stations affected will be Clin- ton and Mitchell. Dave Collins, a 17 -year employee of CN and an Assistant Foreman at Clinton, said his job will be one of those lost, as CN gets set to abolish 3,395 of its present perma- nent positions, and establish 1892 new ones. However, because he has protected status (eight years or more of service) he can not be laid off, only asked to relocate elsewhere in the province. "If I do want to keep my job, I have to shove to Toronto," he said. "They've of- fered us $18;000 to move to Toronto, but what's $18,000 in Toronto." Aside from the fact he is facing unemployment, Mr. Collins said his wor- ries about CN's move go much deeper. He said he expects the cutbacks to impact negatively on the safety of both CN's emplod customers, as well as the safetyof the ees n right-of-way and the quality of track inspection.
