The maxi- mum accumulated sick leave in- creases to 160 days from 80. There are two additional paid holiday days. The agreement covers changes to the provisions for unpaid leaves of absence, maternity/ adoption leaves and vacation pay schedules. There will be a single seniority list for both full-time and part-time employees effec- tive Oct. 31, 1990. "Working out the pay-equity application took time," said Whitby trustee Ian Brown, chair- man of the board. Assisted by a conciliation offi- cer, a tentative agreement was reached between the board's negotiating committee and CUPELcal 218-Education Assistants,on Dec. 21. Education assistants at the board have more than doubled in number to over 300 since the Province imposed Bill 82 (special education/integration)in 1980. Teachers' assistants help tea- chers prepare materials and help out with special needs students. 'Pretzel logic' PROM PAGE 6 collecting, sorting and counting the abundant, and soon-to- be-doubled revenue, from these meters, as compared to the self-esteem of those persons now responsible for those precious pesos, whqn they discover they've been replaced by two D-cell batteries? (Or C-cell, or AA, depending on your information source). Seriously, folks, the last time this writer checked, D-cell batteries were $4.59 for two (x200 = $918), and rechargeables were retailing for $8.99 for two. Rechargers cost $49.95 each, and can only recharge 10 at a time. Understand, also, that recharge- able batteiries can only be charged so many times before they become totally inoperative. Perhaps these displaced persons can be re-hired to change the batteries ... some compensation! While this $165,000 in savings was so ingeniously conceived, it remains to be seen whether the expenditure of $105,000 for these new meters, plus an additional $45,000 to $50,000 conversion cost (batteries not included), will be so eagerly received by the not-so-free-to-spend Whitby tax- payer-cum-voter. Wouldn't this money be better spent making the Whitby GO station accessible to the elderly, to parents with small children in strollers, or even to adults loaded down with baggage or parcels (not to mention those with walking disabilities). The Whitby GO station needs an escalator. Think about that, the next time you drop your quarters into those meters. JoAnne Ingham Whitby Gemini FROM PAGE 24 age from tot to teen.
