house he said Pelletier could not say when the bill would be introduced because no one knows the tim ing more than three or four days ahead of time MPP George Taylor PCSimcoe Centre who has agreed to introduce the bill said he too was unsure of the timing Most of the discussion on the bill will take place in commit tee rather than in the house he said and the timing will de pend on the backlog Taylor said the justice com mittee was already facing such backlog of other business but he also hoped the bill would be enacted this session TAKE EFFECT IN 1980 If passed the amendment to the county act would take effect in December 1980 following municipal elections that year It would reduce the number of councillors to 39 from 54 and raise the number of voters local municipalities must have in order to keep two represen tatives on council Under the amendment municipality will require an electorate of 7500 to be entitled to deputy reeve as well as reeve on council The act currently allows two representatives to munici palities with an electorate of 2500 or more The amendment however would give the reeve an addi GEORGE TAYLOR introduce bill will be presented to the Ontario Legislature

TORONTO lawyer for the United Steelworkers of America urged the Ontario Labor Relations Board Tuesday to stop the trend of Ontario employers not wanting to bargain with labor oganizations James Hayes asked the board to blow the whistle on this sick syndrome and impose first collective agreement or appoint an arbirtrator to impose one at Radio Shack where strike is in its ninth week The union has accused Radio Shack division of Tandy Corp of Fort Worth Tex of failing to bargain in good faith since the union was certified in November and Tuesday was the third day of the OLRB hearing The board panel hOaring the case reserved its decision to later date If the board imposes an agreement it will be the first time it has done so The act does not give it specific power to take action but allows it to state what union or employer shall do or refrain from doing with respect to any complaint THWARTS EFFORTS Hayes said Radio Shack embarked on prolonged and vicious campaign the like of which was rarely been seen in Ontario to thwart the efforts of the union to negotiate first contract for the 180 employees He said Radio Shack is the latest in series of Ontario firms that have tried to escape their legal obligation to bargain He cited the case of Devilbiss Canada Ltd in Barrie where the United Electrical Workers local was decertified in 1977 REG $447 POSTERS VALUES 5339 25 NORTH BARRIE

ordered the firm to bargain in good faith He also referred to Dylex Ltd in Toronto where the Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers Union was given bargaining rights in 1977 after losing certification vote because the company had interfered with the ballot Earlier this year the union was decertified after failing to negotiate first contract and the company has been charged with conspiring to break labor laws ilhe DylexDeVillbiss pattern has to be arrested Hayes sai REASONABLE POSITION Ray Werry counsel for Radio Shack said the union refuses to recognize that the company changed its attitude when new negotiators were brought in He said the company had taken reasonable position on all outstanding issues when the talks broke off Since the company had offered the minimum form of union security provided by law it cant by definition be failing to bargain in good faith Werry said He accused the union of complaining only after it had fail ed to get what it wanted through bargaining Imposing first contract or appointing an arbiriator would go against the tradition of voluntarism in Ontario labor relations Werry said Previous labor board decisions have rejected imposition of first contracts and have hinted that such action would cause chaos in labor relations he said SAVE TO 70 REGAL TOY AS SEEN ON TV no PLUSH 79 EA MINI CHARACTER DOLLS OPEN DAILY mi pm
