Last _year, own purses and raised the figure to $4 an hour and this year they said they'd raise it another four per _ cent,. according to AIB guidelines, to $4.16. ‘UNION RATES ONLY’ The union is saying ‘No’ to anything short of union pay scales, which the hospital says would amount to $5.25. an hour per student. The reason is to. make it unworthwhile for hospitals to be tempted into breaking the conditions of the grant by using it as an excuse to get cheap labor in place of union workers. Brewer says this is exactly what hospitals admitted doing when they were dragged ‘before the Labor Relations Board, although he. adds that some are driven to these tactics simply because : ing... the | ‘hospitals dipped into their © they are ‘so under funded by ~ the provincial government. _ Among the worst . cases was at ‘Burnaby. ‘General Hospital when.a situation ‘of students replacing union . members caused a walkout there by members of another union - that’ of the building trade.

Even so, he says there were so many — problems last year that they cannot be allowed © to be. repeated. ‘ NOT HOPEFUL | “For the hospital, Borth- - wick is not optimistic about | the deadlock situation.

Brewer is still looking at things positively and not ruling out an agreement. It’s up to the hospitals, he says, to put pressure on the Health Labor Relations Association to honor the. terms of the grant. “We don’t want to keep students out of work,”’ he says. ‘If used properly, they make our members’ work easicr.”’ At this stage ‘he is not saying students will not be Ce a ead se aN ile Uae ile le lly ithe en ol sarc eli enrenth teat tietecrltna tanh te inten Sieiny = .— t do union. work he’s.
