Oshawa will cast their ballots Saturday at 10 a.m, This was revealed at the Team- sters' headquarters here by Gerry Donovan. Committee man for Oshawa and district. It is expected that the counting of the vote will be finished by Sunday evening, or Monday. If the membership votes in favor of the settlement arrived at in Toronto Thursday night the men will go back to work Tuesday. When asked what he thought the feeling was among the men, Mr, Donovan said: "That is hard to say at this point." He seemed to feel, however, that some of the members may be somewhat disappointed with \the result of the negotiations, after the month-long vigil on the picket lines. Travelling with the ballot box through the various places where the vote is to be taken are Bill Hayball, representing the com- panies and Gordon Couston, union representative. Voting will be held in Windsor, Toronto, Oakville, Gananoque and Osh- awa, Mr. Donovan said. Negotiating teams reached a, basis of settlement, in -Toronto} place in the Steelworkers Hall. AUTO-CARRIERS PEACE NEARER Basis To Settle Found Thursday Balloting in Oshawa will take JOINT ADMINISTRATION The settlement recognizes the Management position on joint administration of the company- financed welfare fund, but makes concessions on the origin- al offer on pensions and wages for, hourly rated employees. Insistence of the union on continued exclusive control over the management-financed wel- fare fund, which was adminis- tered by the Ontario Teamster Welfare Fund, was the central issue in the strike. Settlement terms include a substantially improved health . and welfare plan, which the companies estimate will cost them $16 per. employee per month, double what is now being paid into the Teamster Fund, MATCH CONTRIBUTIONS The companies have also of- fered to make contributions into a pension plan over the period of the proposed three- year agreement, with contribu- tions rising to $5 per month per employee in the year, when the plan would become effective. Employees would be required to match the employer contributions under the jointly administered plan. 'Cost of the pension plan is estimated at three cents an hour per employee. Wages of the hourly-paid em- ployees are to be increased by 15 cents an hour over the three year--six cents more than the pre-strike offer. Skilled mecha- nics will receive 21 cents--nine cents more than the original offer, FRINGE IMPROVEMENTS 'Other friage improvements include two weeks vacation after two years' service instead of after three under the existing agreement. In lieu of a retro- active increase, the companies will pay each hourly rated em- ployee $2.50 a week for each week worked since July 1, and $3 a week to skilled mechanics. The settlement was achieved with the assistance of federal conciliation officer Frank Ains- borough and Ontario concili- ation officer James Hutcheon. The talks were attended by Teamster internation vice-~ president Frank Fitzsimmons and Canadian Teamster director I, M. (Casey) Dodds. and heavily damaging business premises.
