AND STEWARDS

RE: OCTOBER 30 ISSUE OF MAD HATTER

During the 1982 set of negotiations the B.C.G.E.U. Bargaining Committee
argued vigorously for and were successful in obtaining December 24 and 31

as paid holidays for B.C.G.E.U. members. Our members continue to enjoy these
negotiated days off. We were therefore surprised to read the announcement
on page 11 of the October 30 Mad Hatter providing these two days off for
employees who have not negotiated them.

_The concept of a payroll deduction savings plan for Canada Savings Bonds

-was tabled for contract negotiations in 1979, 1982 and 1984 by the B.C.G.E.U.
After years of arguments and hard work we were finally successful in obtaining
this provision in our Collective Agreement in 1984. The last issue of the Mad
Hatter contained an announcement of the availability of the Canada Savings Bonds
payroll savings plan for all regular employees. It is indeed gratifying to know
that our initiative and hard work will benefit so many.

Perhaps in the future we can look forward to receiving benefits for B.C.G.E.U.
members that have only been available to others in the past. |
