<br />COMMUNICATION FR~M THE EUGENE tiRE tlGHTERS ASSOCI AT.I ON - RE: 56-HoUR WEEK FOR FIRE-
<br />MEN WAS SUBMITTED AND READ AS FOLLOWS:
<br />
<br />"IN A RECENT MEETING WITH MR. tlNLAYSON WE APPRISED HIM OF THE EFFORTS OF THE
<br />OREGON STATE tiRE tlGHTERS ASSOCIATION TO PASS A FIFTY-SIX HOUR WORK WEEK BILL, FOR
<br />REGULAR PAID FIRE FIGHTERS, THROUGH THE STATE LEGISLATURE WHEN IT CONVENED NEXT
<br />JANUARY. INASMUCH AS THIS BILL HAS THE BACKING OF THE ENTIRE LABOR MOVEMENT WE
<br />FEEL, BARRI NG UNFORESEEN OPPOSI TI O,N, THE BI LL HAS AN EXCELLENT C.HANCE OF PASSI NG.
<br />
<br />WE OF THE EUGENE tiRE tlGHTERS REALIZE THAT IF THE BILL PASSES ON A STATEWIDE
<br />B~SIS THERE WILL BE NO PROVISIONS MADE FOR THE FUNDS NECESSAR~ TO PAY THE ADDITIONAL
<br />FIREMEN. THEREFORE, IN OUR EFFORT TO BE FAIR, WE REQUEST THAT THE HONORABLE MAYOR
<br />AND COMMON COUNCIL SERIOUSLY CONSIDER ,PASSING AN ORDINANCE TO PLACE THE FIFTY-SIX
<br />HOUR WORK WEEK BILL ON, THE NOVEMBER GENERAL ELECTION BALLOT WITH PROVISIONS THEREIN
<br />F'OR SALARIES OF THE SEVE.NTEEN ADDITIONAL F'IREMEN THIS PLAN WOULD NECESSITATE HIRING.
<br />
<br />IF OUR FIGURES ARE NOT IN ERROR THESE MEN COULD BE HIRED AND MAINTAIN~D ON LESS
<br />THAN $73,000 PER YEAR. A TWO MILL LEVY ON THE ANTICIPATED $36,500,000 ASSESSED
<br />VALUATION OF" THE CITY WOULD COVER THIS COST. ENCLOSED IS AN ITEMIZED ACCOUNT OF THE
<br />EFFECT THE CHANGE WOULD HAVE ON THE BUDGET AND THE FIGURES TO COVER THE ADDITIONAL
<br />EXPENSE.
<br />
<br />IN CLOSING WE WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT. THE MAJORITY OF PAID F'IRE FIGHTERS
<br />IN THE STATE OF' OREGON ARE WORKING A FIFTY-SIX HOUR WEEK. REALIZING THE CITY OF
<br />EUGENE'S ENDEAVOR TO KEEP ABREAST OF THE TIMES WE URGE FAVORABLE CONSIDERATION OF
<br />THIS REQUEST."
