CANADA GRADE A BONELESS VANCOUVER (CP) — British Columbia's unionized nurses reached a tentative contract settlement with the province's hospitals Tuesday, but it gives a mediator final say on the crucial issues of wages and contract length The deal, only grudgingly supported by the B.C. Nur- ban on overtime and refusal by nurses to do ses’ Union, ends a bitter two-month dispute that included a__ jobs such as escorting patients for tests — today at 5 p.m two-week strike, an abortive settlement and a work-to-rule PDT, said Gordon Austin, president of the hospitals’ that hospitals claimed was endangering patient safety bargaining group. The agreement, binding on both sides without a vote, covers 17,500 nurses working at 144 hospitals and other health facilities. The union was scheduled to end its work-to-rule — a Pat Savage, president of the nurses’ union, said today that nurses will not be happy with a settlement reached through binding arbitration. “Nurses won't be happy because we wanted a with moré money then what’s being offered,”” said Savage. **But | believe we can start building for the next round of negotiations immediately.” Despite the overtime ban being lifted and a settlement being reached nurses will not work the overtime hours they , have in past years, she said The agreement was a last-ditch proposal by private mediator Vince Ready after two lengthy bargaining sessions failed to break the impasse. “*We had been meeting for two or three days and the Teachers’ course ‘ parties became completely geadlocked Monday after- noon,"’ Ready said in an interview. ‘‘So | made the proposition to go this way last night."’ Under the proposal, Ready, an experienced contract arbitrator, will take submissions Thursday on wages, con: tract length and other matters from the union and the Health Labor the h al bargaining agent. Ready said he will make his binding recommendations by Friday afternoon. Ready said he felt no personal sense of urgency for a settlement. But the union apparently balked at the prospect of government intervention Throughout the talks, said Savage, the association never budged from the offer that nurses had already voted down July 12. “That left the BCNU with two options: to submit to a settlement imposed by a government that has demonstrated its hostility to the nursing profession, or a settlement Proposed by Mr. Ready, an impartial party aware of nur- ses’ concerns,’’ Savage told a news conference.

Doug Fellman, the Arrow Forest District's fire control officer, said the rain has “helped considerably” in fighting fires in the area. “Fire conditions were returning to the moderate to high hazard level but this rain has dropped that back to low and moderate levels,”’ Fellman said Tuesday Fellman said the rain has enabled the firefighting crews to move into the mop-up stages of many fires. Saturday's thunderstorm caused four new fires between Castlegar and Nakusp but the rain snuffed out a few others, Fellman said “We received calls on our Zenith number and people had seen smoke and flames, but when we inspected it, the fires were already out.”” In the last week, the Arrow Forest District recorded 17 new fires, bringing this season's total to 215 fires. Twenty Sires are still burning in the region and a total of 103 hectares have been bur- ned to date. The total cost of fighting fires this year is $1.03 million Last year’s totals stand in stark con- trast as there were only 32 fires repor ted at this time ayyear ago. Total area burned stood at 64 hectares and the total cost of fighting fires at this point in the season last year was $181,000. Over the last 10 years, the Arrow Forest District has averaged 105 fires per year and a total area burned of 920 hectares per year NDP calls Parker embarrassment to B.C.

The Social Credit government has about the environment, said Cashore But Parker's remarks have reminded the public that the Socreds are masquerading as born-again environ- mentalists, he said “No amount of talk (by the gover- nment) about $3 million in pollution fines can counter the kind of ridiculous PASSING FANCY . .
