Postal Strike Outcome In Doubt
OTTAWA Canada AP The outcome of the Canadian postal strike remained in doubt today as more than two thirds of the ballots cast by striking inside postal workers failed to produce a clear cut majority for or against the tentative contract settlement reached during the weekend. The 22 000 member Canadian Union of Postal Workers ballots were to be decided by western centers Regina Saskatoon Winnipeg with Maritime Quebec Ontario and British Columbia results described as extremely close by union spokesman Paul Mitchell. The executive urged rank and file to reject the proposal as it did not alter terms pushed by Postmaster General Bryce Mackasey before the six week strike. If ratified the agreement must still gain approval from the federal anti inflation board which last week rejected similar raises for teachers in Toronto and Hamilton. The plan calls for a $1.70 hour increase in four stages over 30 months to July 1977 a 40 hour week and a cost of living clause allowing a maximum rise of 10 cents per hour every three months. The top hourly rate under the old contract was 4.59 dollars. The union had demanded a $2.72 hourly boost over 27 months a 35 hour week and a more generous cost of living clause.
