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-
