Embree's motion drew
criticism from Ald. C. 8. Fowler
-and Ald. Albert Calderbank,
who both registered their oppo-
sition to the resolution.

Fowler said he opposed the
motion because it was actually
“two motions in one.” _

“I don’t like’ that kind of
motion,” Fowler said. “I was in
favor of the firat half and not in
favor of the second half.”

“While I know little of
negotiations of this type, I feel
that collective bargaining

= should be collective on both

sides,” he said.

Calderbank shared Fow-
ler's viewpoint, pointing out
that CUPE employs profession-
al negotiators to bargain on
members’ behalf.

He said he had not ex-
pected the city to be required
as a KBLRA member to pay
“vast. sums of money” but
believed the city should pay its
share of the costs of negotia-
