CASTLEGAR NEWS, August 12, 1981 9%% A8 CASTLEGAR NEWS, August 12, 1981 Maternity leave g bd NTE TEE Watch Your Money Grow CUPW’'s gains please unions By Judy Creighton TORONTO (CP) — Reac- tion to the 17 weeks of paid maternity leave gained by the inside postal workers this week is one of jubilation among other Canadian unions. The 23,000-member Can- adian Union of Postal Work- ers, including about 10,000 women, approved a two-year contract Monday that pro- vides for the 17-week mater- ulty leave paying 93 per cent of wages. CUPW isn’t the first Can- adian union to be granted paid maternity leave although the provision has barely made a dent in the private sector in Canada. Eighteen months ago, pub- lic sector unions in Quebec won 93 per cent of their normal income for 20 weeks of maternity leave. Paid maternity leave pro- visions are contained in about eight per cent of collective agreements in Canada cover- ing units of 500 or more employees. PAY TWO WEEKS Among them are five agrements between the CBC and its unions. The agree- ments provide full pay for the first two weeks and 75 per cent for 15 weeks. Unemployment insuran ce pays for the first two weeks Unemployment insurance pays 60 per cent of insurable benefits to a maximum of $189. a week for 15 weeks. Regular service will be delayed TORONTO (CP) - Cana- dians who breathed a sigh of relief at the end of the postal strike should hold their breath - it may be six to eight weeks before the country's mail operations are fully back to normal, an official of the Toronto Post Office says. But Mickey Joung said Tuesday that while it likely would take up to eight weeks for totally normal operations, there were too many un- known factors for a definite prediction. “It's hard to say what's out there,” he said. In Toronto and other Can- adian centres, postal oper- ations, there were too many unknown factors for a de- finite predition. “It’s hard to say what’s out there,” he said. In Toronto and other Canadian centres, postal op- erations went smoothly Tues- day, the first day of start-up service, because there was not much mail to handle. Joung said that, in the Mettropolitan Toronto area, about one-third of the normal daily volume of 10 million pieces of mail was left in the system when mail boxes were cleared before being sealed at the start of the 42-day strike by 23,000 postal waorkers. There is a two-week waiting period and a claimant must have worked 10 weeks. On ‘an international scale, paid maternity leave has been solidly established in several European, African, Asian and Latin American countries as well as most coramunist coun- tries. In Sweden, the employer pays 90 per cent of salary for a period of up to nine months to the parent taking leave. West Germany pays 100 per cent for 14 weeks. Italy’s benefits are 80 per cent of salary for 20 weeks and communist countries have similar or superior benefits. SETS PRECEDENT Alan Pryde, a spokesman for the Ontario Federation of Labor, said in an interview Tuesday the maternity- benefits clause in the postal workers’ settlement sets a precedent. “I think it would be very surprising if other unions don't go for improved mater- nity benefits,”’ he said. ‘‘It is a big breakthrough and more importantly it means a redis- iribuiion of incomes.” However, Pryde said unjons with a large female component would have to ‘‘be powerful enough to get it.’ “*You’ve got to have strength and clout, you have to have a large group of female employees — but paid maternity leave is a very valid one to go after.’” Laurell Ritchie, a member of the National Action Com- mittee on the Status of Women, told a news confer- ence this week her group sees parental rights as one of the key issues at the table in the 1980s. “The interest has grown as women persist in their strug- gle for equality and as men take new responsibilities in child-raising,’’ Ritchie said. Kay Sigurjonsson, a spokesman ior the Federaiiun of Women Teachers’ Asso- ciations of Ontario, said in an interview the 30,000-member A natural Source laxative union ‘would cer the postal worke: ment’? — so far as mater- nity leave is concerned — ‘‘as a beginning.’ ‘*We've adopted the leave as policy and a goal of ‘our organization and we will cer- tainly be attempting to nego- tiate it in the next short while.”’ Urea formaldehyde insulation Vancouver favors aid VANCOUVER (CP) - Homeowners woh insulated their houses with urea form- aldehyde foam shoud be pro- tected from falling property values, city council decided Tuesday. homes where it is not feasible to remove the foam. Removing the substance usually involves ripping out walls to take out the foam. Kinlock says in a report to council that the cost of the foam from The ial insul- ation, once promoted by the federal government, has banned last fall because of fears it is a health hazard. Council agreed with city medical health officer David Kinlock that the city should advocate a program, paid by senior governments, ensuring the maintenance of property values of those 8,000 B.C. homes could be as high as $200 million. Urea formaldehyde has banned because it releases a gas that irritates eyes and lungs, causes insomnia, nausea and leathargy. Council also voted to con- tinue systematic testing of homes, but only if senior governments follow up with measurers to deal with the problem, including removal.
