4 On Management Proposed By BEN WARD OTTAWA (CP) -- Restriction of management's right to make changes affecting workers' jobs was recommended Thursday to the federal government. The proposal was made in the Freedman report on the CNR's controversial run-throughs until it has negotiated with its oper- ating unions on the issues in- volved, The judge went on tv apply this principle to "similar situ- ations in general." He said present law, under which unions are helpless to fight technological change while a contract is in force, 'is a manifest inequity which clam- ors for attention and correc- tion." His 65,000-word report is the result of a year's study of the run-throughs at Naikina, Ont., and Wainwright, Alta., which touched off a large-scale CNR work stoppage when they were introduced in October, 1964.

He rejected an argument by the three operating unions that the longer crew runs invoived --about 200 miles instead of 100 --are a safety hazard because of fatigue. Existing throughs in Canada and U.S. disproved this. However, the 57 - year - old judge also. threw out the CNR's contention that run - throughs| are a management right. that! the should not be interfered with He recommended that labor be given a legal voice in work- jing out such changes, cither by amending the Railway Act or Industrial Relations and | Disputes Investigation Act run-| Mr. Justice Freedman set out his own detailed proposals for protecting workers who would| be displaced or forced to move| due to run-throughs, They in- clude: --Compensation for losses in- curred in selling houses be-! low fair market value. --Compensation for Josses| due to an unexpired lease. --Full payments of moying| expenses on a door-to-door basis rather than the station- to-station basis CNR now ac- cepts. --Severance pay or:a lump- sum allowance to employees who lose their jobs.
