Laboratory Technicians,

Educational Planners,

Local 62, B.C.G.E.U.,

Douglas College Faculty Association,

Ladies and Gentlemen,

On July 8, 1975, Local 62, the Faculty Association and Douglas
College signed a Letter of Understanding with respect to the Laboratory
Technicians and Educational Planners. This Letter stated that until the
Labour Relations Board rendered a decision, this group would not be
represented by either union. Inherent in this agreement was the under-
standing that neither union nor the College would negotiate with respect
to the technicians until the Labour Relations Board decision.

At a special meeting held Thursday October 2nd, the attached
"Second Letter of Understanding" was approved by Resolution of College
Council. Its purpose is to provide funds to the Laboratory Technicians
and Educational Planners to off-set hardships. By no means does it
represent an attempt to negotiate a settlement or to adjust the present
salaries.

Qur solicitors have advised us that both Local 62 and the Faculty
Association should sign the "Letter" if they agree. We are also advised
that since the first "Letter of Understanding" agrees that neither party
represents the technicians and planners, individual technicians and planners
should also sign the "Second Letter of Understanding", if they so agree.

We enclose copies of letters from the two unions outlining their
positions.

If those people who have not yet signed the "Letter" do so by
signing the copy in the Bursar's Office (which will be reproduced and
distributed if it is completed), the College will be in a position to
alleviate the hardship by making the payments.

Yours truly,

R. R. Lisson
Assistant Bursar
