2 Under Negotiation AL BUSCH Regional Plywood Evaluator Plywood evaluation, which had been halted for a consider- able period, is again under way in a somewhat limited manner. -The stoppage, as previously reported, was due to the inade- quacy of the present application of the manual to properly compensate for present and future production changes in certain category areas. The trend of lumping together semi- automated jobs and the increase of combination jobs were also factors. The Regional Executive Board passed certain recom- mendations to be negotiated with Forest Industrial Rela- tions Ltd. in an effort to cor- ‘rect this situation. Among these were to employ a slid- ing scale of cents or points for each discontinued job category where partial auto- mation has placed the major duties left over on the shoul- ders of a remaining category; work out a scale to apply to combination jobs; consider negotiating rather than eval- uating rates in those categor- ies most widely disputed, if no other suitable measuring CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 stick can be found in or added to evaluation. Several meetings have been held between the Re- gional Officers and F.1.R. For- est Industrial considered the proposals and claimed they were not the answer. The Union has since made alter- nate proposals which are now - under consideration by F.1.R. With negotiations in this regard continuing, it was agreed by the Union to pro- ceed with evaluation to a cer- tain point in order to clear up some of the extensive back-log of job changes and new jobs requiring the set- ting of rates.
