Karen Wilson, president of CUPE Local 53, sald.her members will not have sufficient time ta compile an "accurate and thorough7 rosponse ta the staff report since they will only receive a copy this coming Frlday. Wilson couldflot understand counicil's haste on, the issue, especlly since there liait been no mention of it' durlng a, labour-managemnent session on Denshamisloa Reform. prà edent On Feb. 7 the.

In the fremt game last F eb 1. (Councillor Judi Longfield bmought forward the motion at the Feb. 5 operations comnittee meeting.) 'We have serlous concerna about ths -issue and a number of factors have ta be, looked at and flot just from a dollar value," she said. Wilson said she appreciated council's need to control spending, but felt any decision affecting the liveluhooda of Town employees muet not be made wlthout their input, Wilson agreed with' councillor. Don Mitchell that the commi*ttee will not likely make a decision nect week. but was flot willinir ta take that rislc "We'd 1k. more time in order to be comfortable on the chance that it will go ta council," she said. Councillor Marcel Brunelle sald the problem was that no7 one yet knows what the report may recommend. "What it probably will say las a course of action based on comparisons," said Brunelle. "I dondt tliink the conùittee will deal with it- the and I don't tbink the report will b. that conclusive," lie said. "I understand what you're saying,« Wilson replied. < "But I don't have time te work on a report that will coat people their jobs," she said. "I'm here ta slow it down. I can be a pesainit at times and I do see it golng through that quickly. Followlng Wllson's deputation, councillor and operations commlttee chair Dennis Fox asked Longfield te explain the. rationale behind her motion. Longfield said council lias not had the. opportunlty te investIgate the possible savings from contracting-out garbage collection and that council was obligated te obtain this Information on ýbehaif of Whitby taxpayers. Longfield said she also wanted CUPE memibers to, attend next Wedx:eday, both teama came out ,Lyngb left goegon the geafterone.prod 0f play. Tii.

Inthe lastgame oftiieseason'on Sunday, Wildcata ftraled Putes 2-1 affor one perlod of play on a nrattv Monday's meeting. "We want them to comment on what staff reports," she sald. "We're not aslng ifor proposais at this time or even thlnkling of talng It out of public control."» Fox, iiowever, was not persuaded by Longfield's argument. "What we're askling for through this motion la for a segment of our staff ta attend a meeting and comment on wliat other staff propose," he sald. Fox sald he envisloned "conflict between staff and staff' by forcing the union members to challenge the. report's findings. Fox warned council that It was creatlng a "scenario where we have our staff publicly begglng for their jobs" and that he wanted no part of it. «He also objected to the brie! amount o! time that the. union will have ta satudy the report and prepare a counter proposi if necessary. "W. have staff workcing months to get us figures8," he said. "Do w. expect these people to do itintwo or thre days. When theyre worklng full-time?" Mitchell, councl'. current budget chief, did not s hare Fox'. concemn "My prime mandate la ta, serve the, residents 0f the. community and provide services at the. beat cost and most efficient rata," h. sald. "Contracting-out garbage collection in nothing new. AIl we're loolng at It ia an analysis." Mitchell sald any suggestion that the. report "b. amerdout between senor staff and the. union in private" in wrong and that councIl must conalder.whià t beat serves Whltby residents. "fie sooner the report gets outa and tii. sooner it ia in thie public process, the bettor."
