Union leaders in Manitoba say a al by Statistics Canada to restructure the Consumer Price Index could cost an unionists and pensioners hundreds of millions of dollars a year in lost benefits The labor officials who are actively opposing the proposal say they will have to bargain with employers for improved cost-of-living provisions in contracts if the change is introduced by the federal cy as promised later this year The unionists are concerned because the price index forms the basis for cost of living adjustments written into thousands of con- tracts and pension plans across Canada Government plans call for the process now used in calculating the price index to be changed in a way that will make it appear prices are rising less rapidly than they really are according to the union leaders The new index they say will be based on the assumption that people are ing less of their total expenditures on food than they have in the past basing the sumption on spending habits of people earning between and a year In the past only middle-income families with two to six children and incomes ranging to were used to compute the index Using the index the 1971 inflation rate would have been recorded as 9.8 per cent instead of 10.8 per cent as the old index indicated Economists say that even a small downward shift in the index would amount to hundreds of millions of lars in lost benefits across the country possibly as much as billion It's suspicious that this change is com- ing now with the AIB ending and the cost of living rising so John Bergen research director for the
