When a vote on the opposi- tion amendment was\ called, Mr. Walker voted with the op- position in favor of elimination of this particular 'section of thc Municipal Act. ~ "I have previously spoker out in support of elimination o this section of the Act, because it completely stvifies eallective day. "The Oshawa city council passed a resolution last year urging removal of this section of the act," he continued. "I feel the elected municipal offi- cials are completely responsi- ble for their own employees and the justifiable rights of collec- tive bargaining should not be governed by any section of the Municipal Act. "The responsibility for bar- gaining in the municipal field should be between the elected municipal officials and their omployees, "Unfortunately the elimina. / ion amendment' was lost, but I vill continue to press for elimin- ation of this discriminatory sece tion." \
