Canadian ¬ dian Union of Postal Workers is investigating legal proce procedures ¬ dures they hope will force the post office to negotiate crea creation ¬ tion of a new class of employees to operate new mail sorting machines While the new classifica classification ¬ tion has not been included in bargaining for a new contract the old one expired in March the issue is hanging over talks between postal unions and the federal gov government ¬ ernment The government plans to install mail sorting machines in 15 major centres and wants to pay operators less than manual mail sorters now receive The operators would earn 2 94 an hour while manual mail sorters earn more than 3 60 an hour Although the government has promised that no employees would lose jobs union leaders see the new class of employees as perhaps a first step in a series of mechanization moves that could lower the basic wages of postal employees The unions want to negotiate creation of the jobs but government officials reject the idea The new classification is a matter for consultation only a government official said To the unions consultation means being presented with a take-itor-leave-it situation James McCall
