Winnipeg was dims first full time posting or that he had completed his training just months earlier in nor was the family offered a second outside the courtroom she maybe my child might still be alive if i had been better after her sons Terziski testified the nurse she had been closest to during the ordeal refused her request to talk to other parents who had lost Chil Lois Hawkins who testified last week she was unaware of problems in the surgical unit said it do any Good because no two heart defects were Terziski Hawkins suggested a general support group to help her but losing a Parent or a grand Parent int the same As losing a i Felt left Terziski dress codes outdated Parent continued from a1 who hails from the said school uniforms Are the apparel of Choice in his native country and could help reduce the spiralling costs of cloth ing but Ingrid troys Mother and former chairwoman of the Elmwood Parent advisory said the concept is out of sync with id like to know where they would get the Money she most of the schools in Winnipeg one school division Are in the inner City or from fairly Low incomes they just cant afford As said the idea is were seeing this recycling of ideas from 30 and 40 years but i cant realistically see her sons the next thing they would be saying is boys have to Wear your hair certain ways and girls certain said Dylan of and As far As mandatory dress codes for both the Zacharias Brothers agree that clothes have nothing to do with whether or not they respect their in Troy said making teach ers Wear formal business attire would Only make them targets for student the bad students respect them because they would look like he As he said teachers As Well As students dress to reflect their one teacher next door wore a sweater with a Christmas tree with lights on it that Light he the teachers Are just Fine with the clothes they have theres Noth ing inappropriate about other students agree the concept is a particularly bogus i think its just said Jan ice a Grade 12 student at Sisler High after its a Public As despite the impression that students May dress like a Sotyie out of Hollywood most students dont spend a for tune keeping up with the latest fashion its not a fashion Santos Winnipeg school Board chair woman Anita Neville said the Issue is sure to be a controversial when and if its put before parents to Neville said students even bristled at the idea of having to con form to a dress which forbids the wearing of gang provocative clothes or obscene or profane language on As part of its code of conduct guide lines going into effect next the students feedback you cant Tell us How to dress and this was the loosest guidelines she As Neville said she Antici pates Antonio will have difficulty Selling the concept to other for Many the Issue of Cost would be a big for Many people its a struggle to keep she people have been pushed to the limit continued from a1 they could take strike votes in the next people have been pushed to the limit they feel that there is nothing to lose and therefore we believe very strongly that they will give us a Strong mandate because they want to see an end to an attack on Ngeu president Peter Olfert charging there has been no real bargaining since the two sides sat Down about a month members Are angry they Are seeing the hypocrisy with government giving themselves Large wage having an Auto Matic increase that kicks in every year for civil servants Point to the 17 per cent pay raise Premier Gary Fil Mon got last year to bring his Annu Al salary to and Cabinet ministers pay packet that will go up by just under one per cent again on april Olfert civil ser vants Are being asked for the fourth year in a Row to tighten their belts and extend a four per cent Cut in wages through Filmon there not going to stand for he asked whether Manitoba could see the kind of labor trouble now taking place in Olfert said time will i think its a Little bit Early to talk about general strike but certainly we believe that Over the weeks and months there could be an escalation of strike votes and labor unrest in the unlike there is no essential services agreement in place in Manitoba and that Means All workers could walk off the even in areas such As Cor mental health and health the tempers Are High and it is quite conceivable that we could get into a fairly Large confrontation Here in the Olfert government employees Are seeking a wage increase using the same formula used to determine Las it is based on Man Tobas average Industrial wage and would amount to about per cent this Olfert Ngeu members angry Olfert said the government has said no to a wage joint trusteeship of the pension and an end to Filmon finance minister Eric Stefanson said he was disappointed in the unions decision to Call a strike Rollback denied he denied the government was seeking a wage even though it wants workers to again take 10 Days unpaid leave to save the Treasury about nobody likes the thought of a strike and disruption of services to the and i continue to be confident that at the end of the Day Pur position is reason the finance minister its a request for another year of the continuation of status quo have exactly the same take Home pay that Treyve had for the last three but Olfert said Manitoba civil servants Haven had a wage increase in five and have been forced to take 10 Filmon Fri Days every which amounts to a wage Cut of nearly four per at the same he the Fil Mon fridays have not prevented Job the Union estimates nearly civil service jobs have been lost in the last five Olfert said Public opposition to privatization of Home care is build and he predicted Manitoban will also see the unfairness of How civil servants Are being the general mood has changed we Are seeing that with the City of Winnipeg and the fact the City is trying to break a Deal he he said when Filmon fridays were first legislated by the gov there was mixed Public while some civil servants initially also went along with the unpaid Olfert said Treyve finally realized it has not preserved jobs As the government i believe that today the Public believes More than Ever that pub Lic sector workers have had a sep Arate tax that Treyve been paying for the last three or four years on their salaries through and i believe they see this is totally hypocritical and i believe As we move into this process we will receive Public some of the Public sector Mili Tancy appears to be coming from the ranks of provincial Home care who stand to lose their jobs or see their pay cheques shrink under a privatized the Fil Mon government plans to contract out Home care services in four areas of Winnipeg As of july Roslyn a von nurse who works for Home said nurses As Well As clients Are Wor
