Government Employces Union currently earn from $13.40 to $21.42 an hour. The workers struck for a week in late January and then again on Feb. 5 after rejecting the first ten- tative settlement with Merritt- based Emcon Services. Emcon took over the contracts in the Trail and Boundary area last fall and immediately got into a battle with the union over the terms of the collective agreement negotiat ed with the previous contractor. “The workers are uneasy about their relationship with this employer,” said BCGEU spokesman Jeff Fox said in a pre- pared statement. “That's one of the reasons they rejected the first tentative deal. These workers are going to be watching the compa- ny closely over the next three years. Emcon is going to have to demonstrate that it's a good employer and live up to all the terms of the agreement.” a mal wpe UP PRK So ONAN ae aoa foe FRE. ae ———-—} Selling something?
