more than public power.
Private power costs an aver-
age of 20 .per cent more for
industrial rates and 33 per-
cent more for residential
rates, than public power.
"'The concept that people
vent competition hs anon.
sense. What is important to
people in Ontario is cheap
rates and reliable .eleotrici7
ty,"
He said the PWU has
• a
proposed industrial rates be
reduced by 20 per cent to
encourage more industry
moving to the province • and
keep the residential rates
frozen for 10 years.
"We think this is far bet-
ter ,than breaking Hydro up,
giving money to the banks
and gouging ratepayersin
the future, • e
Murphy warned the
PWU members that On ario:
ydrro negotiators, ;which
began the a. bargaining
process Monday, will use
negotiations to distract the
union from. privatization
issue.
He vowed that will not
happen. •
Peter Kelly, PWU vice-
president and'head of the
union's bargaining commit-
tee spoke to the members
abnut negotiations. He said
successor rights will be on
the table,

He said the corporation
was hoping to sell the first
part of its assets off in June,
1996,
"The people who would
buy Hydro don't want a 'vol.
leetive agreement and *they
don't want a union. No suc-
cessor rights means they'd
fire us a11.
Kelly predicted employ-
ers would offer whatever
salary they wanted and hire
only those they wanted to
work for thein back.
;also: said Ontario,
Hydro was 'lobbying the
goverime...; t for changes to
the. Power Corporations
Act, so=they°con "scoop the
6 billion pension fund.
': ey'Ilbe attacking:' the
pensioners." •
He ` said 'management
salaries have gone up as.
much as 15 per cent,
"This as indicative they're
preparing for privatization.
Bumping ftp their salaries to
prep.arre to work in the pri-
vate
rivate sector."
• Kelly said one good
thing about Bill 26, the
Omnibus Bill, is that public
sector's salaries above,
$100,000 a year, will have
to be declared.
"We'll start seeing what
they're making."
He said PWU members
haven't had `a payi increase
in three years so it would be
realistic to expect an.
increase, especially since
the company has inadp
money :the past two years,
"It's . highly unlikely,'
they'll agree. They are con=
vinced' they will get what
they . want' through legisla-
tion.
He warned members if
negotiations end up in front
of an arbitrator, the govern-
ment can give, the arbitrator
direction
"They (Ontario Hydro
have got pretty good cards
in their hands. But Athat
doesn't mean they'll win
This will be quite a monu-
mental struggle."
He said negotiations will
end Feb. 28. After the
union's executive board has
had a look at the offer,
members will ,.bey presented`
with the offer, sometime rn:
March. The contract ends
midnight, April 1,41'
