13 Nurses At Penticton
tion Bid

Last Minute Offer
Averts Walkout

PENTICTON, B.C..(CP)—A last-minute offer] £
by the Penticton hospital board Sunday night averted]
first strike of nurses in|

Canada, | |

Fifty-three nurses at the Pen-| .:

ticton General Hospital voted at

a hastily called meeting to ac+ .

cept the board’s offer of full

implementation of a conciliation *
board recommendation for high-.|°

er pay. o

The walkout had been sched-|:
uled to begin at 8 a.m. today.
Only emergency cases were be-

ing admitted to the hospital.
_Of the-102 patients in the hos-
pital Saturday, administrator E.
F. MacDonald had _ estimated
there would be no more than 40
Ieft by strike deadline. Fifteen
of the patients were newborn
babies.

CONCILIATION BASIS

Basis for the settlement was a:

wage offer by the hospital board
of $244 a month, as recommend-
ed by the conciliation board,
Previously the hospital board
had offered $240 a month. The
present wage. is $230. ,

Announcement of the offer
was made following a special
meeting of the board eurlier
Sunday. . .

Apart from the length of the
contract, the offer represents
fulfilment of the nurses’ de-
manas. . Sy

- They .wanted the contract to
{run until Dec, 31. «It willbe ef-

 

ithe strike. Two nurses were to
act aS an unpaid “patrol” on
each shift.

The hospital board had claim-
ed it could not mect the concil-
jation board recommendation
because it received only $240 a
month for each nurse from the
B.C. hospital insurance service.

GET EXTRA FUNDS |

i

The board issued a statement
Saturday saying there had been!
an offer of “some additional |
funds” from the BCHIS.‘

The statement followed a visit
to Penticton by a hospital serv-
ice team from Victoria which
studied whether the general

hospital was entitled to further:.

benefits.

Hospital care in B.C. is paid
for through a five-per-cent sales
tax, receipts from which go to
the BCHIS, The hospital board
had said it would allow the
strike to take place in hopes the
government agency would recog-
nize {its “obligation” to the
nurses,
