Regional strike is over By HOWARD MOZEL Special ta The Champion Halton's environmental services workers, out on strike since April 9, have voted in favour of a new three-year contract. The settlement was ratitied at 6:30 p.m. Thursday by Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) union Local 2620. A memorandum of settlement hàd been worked out earlier that day between Halton Region and Local 2620, which represents 110 planning and public works staff in the environmental services division. Workers will receive an immediate 4 per cent raise in wage increases and retroactive payments. Another 2 per cent increase will be gained on Jan. 1, 1999. Local 2620 president Gerry Dean said he is happy to be going back to, work despite not being able to land the contract they originally boped for: Fifty cents per hour more for three years. The deal struck Tbursday works out to about 34 cents more per hour. 'We didn't get what we wanted but it was as far as we could go witb this council," said Mr. Dean. 'We were îlot going to get another dime out of tbem." Approximately 78 per cent of union members voted in favour of the deal. TMe wage package breaks down this way: 2 per cent f'rom Jan. 1997 (the date the unions contract expired), 2 per cent as of ian. 1998 and the 2 per cent men- tioned above effective Jan. 1999.

'This is not only fair to the workers, but [air to the residents of' Halton." Employees were to retum to work Monday. -Regional counicil and management staff welcome back our employees and look forward to resuming the positive working relationship that we enjoyed prior to this work stoppage," said Ms Savolîne. Mr. Dean said he would like to express bis gratitude for ail the fond, money and moral support those on the picket line received from members of the public and regional staff. It kept our spirits up and it was greatly appreciat- ed," he said. Botb sides in the strike had met for a 22-bour marathon session on April 6-7 and eventually ham- mered out a deal. Oin April 8 this was taken to the union mcmbership, whicb rejected it by more than a 70 per cent margin. Their strike bit a variety of regional facilities and services. They include water purification and waste- water treatment plants, ticet operations (region, police and RCMP), the wastewater collection system and the water distribution system (bydrants, water meters). The two main sticking points had been the unions appeal for 50 cents more per hour each year for three years and retroactive pay from January, 1997. (The union bas been witbout a contract since then.) Halton bad been offering retroactive pay from only January, 1998. 0 wu W 0%M tp /w..w o îto7n7on cs 0 Mil1ton Seniors' Activity Centre 500 Chîlds Drive, Milfon Friday, May lst 10 apr Noom Local MPP, Ted Chudleigh & Minister for Seniors, Cam Jackson will discuss Seniors issues affected by the Provincial Government.
