with our employees from the G.V.R.D. and Alderman Ranger said he would
welcome the opportunity to help the U.B.C.M. become a good independent
co-ordinator as this City does not want a negotiator but rather background
information to assist the Administrative Staff with their own negotiations,

and suggested that the G.V.R.D. be dropped and the U.B.C.M. supported,

Alderman Laking agreed that this was a better proposal than anything
that had been offered by the G.V.R.D. and would urge its support and
that support of the G.V.R.D. labour function be terminated. Alderman
Thompson suggested that for the cost involved, he could not see how such
an offer could be turned down.
