"NEW
DEAL"
FOR
WORKERS
On
Cost-of-Llving
Bonus,
Superannuation
and
Wage
Equalization"
rvs,.it
A
"new
deal"
in
employee
relations
is
being
organized
by
City
Council
which
lias
laid
out
a
three-point
program
which
it
will
follow
in
future
dealings
with
civic
employees.
The
plan
was
approved
by
a
special
meeting
of
City
Council
this
week.
Basic
elements
in
the
new
sef-up,
which
has
been
under
consideration
by
council
for
montlis,
are:
1.
Incorporation
of
the
cost-of-living
bonus
into
the
basic
wage
scale
of
civic
employees.
This
will
do
away
with
existing
discrepencles
between
the
pay
of
married
and
single
employees.
2.
Retirement
of
superannuation
of
all
city
employees
when
they
reach
their
sixty-fifth
birthday,
to
become
effective
December
31,
1940.
3.
Establishment
of
a
committee
to
review
the
rates
of
pay,
duties
and
responsibilities
of
all
city
employees
with
a
view
to
equalizing
wage
rates.
Regarding
the
second
clause,
dealing
with
retirement
of
employees,
City
Clerk
H.
D.
Thaln
said
this
morning
that
retirement
or
superannuation
of
all
:
employees
would
become
a
mat-
;
ter
of
civic
policy.
Some
em-1
I
ployccs,
he
said,
were

arrangementi

C.C.F.
member
for

under

'
Mr.

noted
that
Canadian
fishermen
had
to
compete
'with
United

fishermen
who
had
extensive
credit
facilities
to
buy
fishing
vessels.
Credit
fra5
too
costly
for
average
fishermen,
Brett
said,
and
the
only
.other
credit
available
was
from
various
large
fish
companies
wnicn
tended
to
break
down
the
independence
of
the
fishermen-
Herbert
Gargrave,
C.C.F;
Mckenzie,
said
that
fishermen
should
be
able
to
break
