Hachey, Neutral Member, and Bruce Naw~ki, CitycCouncil Representative, recommended by a two to one vote that,~ wage increase of 5¢ per hour be granted, and (2) that in addition a health and welfare program, which would cost about 5¢ per hour, be provided. Mr. Nawrocki .recommended that the wage increase of 8¢ per hour as already granted be continued, and that'if the employees wanted a health and welfare plan, -that its cost come out of 'the 8¢ per hour granted. Mr. Skeate, Union Representative, requested that the City maintain the 8¢ per hour granted, and grant an additional 2¢ per hour in the form of a health and welfare plan. May 13, 1963 The Honorable Ronald E. Hachey, Judge of Minnesota Second District Court St. Paul, Minnesota Subject~ Wage Arbitration Dear Sir: City of Columbia Heights and Local ~664 After due consideration to the findings and recommendations so generously prepared by you on the above matter, I have the following two comments: The recommendation as regards the health and welfare program is good and if a majority of the employees agree, I would strongly recommend that the council begin such a program. I do not find in the report justification for any salary increases above the 8¢ granted. The 8¢ combined with the existing overall wage pattern for the affected employees compares favorably with that of other comparable communities and industries. Inasmuch as item (2) above is not in accord with your recommendations, I can of. course not sign the recommendations. Should there be any desire on the part of yourself or Mr. Willimas to revise the recommendation to implement the Health and Welfare program suggested, I would be very happy to meet again or to sign such a revised recommendation as you may choose to write up. Should there be no desire for this revision, it will be appreciated if you file copies of these findings along with this letter as a minority report to the appropriate agencies specified in Minnesota Statutes Annotated Sec. 179.57. i personally, as well as all parties concerned, I am sure, wish to express our appreciation for so graciously giving of your time in serving as neutral panel member in this matter.
