Unemployment Ins. Move Rated ‘Most Controversial’

By JOHN LeBLANC Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (CP) — One of the

most controverial pieces of labor legislation in many years goes into effect Sunday.

It consists .of amendments to the Unemployment Insurance Act, boosting contributions into the recession-depleted insurance fund and raising the wage ceiling of eligibility for coverage,

- Liberals and the fought it tooth and nail at the last session of Parliament, and kept up a

near-filibuster for so long that its implementation was delayed for three months up to now.

It also lacked the endorsation of the government’s unemploy-

Despite criticism of various as- Sects of the legislation by labor and management groups and by opposition politicians before a House committee, it eventually was steamrollered through by the Progressive Conservative major- ity.

ROUGH RIDE i

But its ride was so long and rough that Labor Minister Starr had to ‘skip an international la- bor convention in Europe to pilot

it safely through the Commons. |

Main features of the measure are these: :

1. Contributions into the insur- ance fund by employers, employ- ees and the federal government are increased by an average of 3% per cent.

2. The_maximum period for drawing benefits while unem-

ployed is extended from 36 to 52 | weeks.

3. The annual wage ceiling for | coverage is raised from $4,800 to $5,460, and two new classes for

contributions and benefits are added around the top.
