Improvements in Employee Benefits, F

Mark Settlement of New Collective W


Negotiations for a new Collec-
tive Working Agreement were suc-
cessfully concluded June 26, with
the signing of an agreement in
principle. The agreement for the
new three-year CWA commencing
July 1, was signed by Lago Presi-
dent W. A. Murray and IOWUA
President F. L. Maduro. Witness to
the signing, in addition to manage-
ment and union representatives, was
Reint Laan, special mediator.
The new CWA embodies striking
social changes which will not only
benefit the employee, but also a
community that is faced with ab-
sorbing an increasing number of re-
tired residents. A major point of the
CWA is the development of improv-
ed retirement pensions by a joint
management-union committee. The
improvements will include additional
company costs of between four and
five per cent. The plan, to be devel-
oped by Jan. 1, 1965, will be retro-
active to include employees who re-
tire between the date of the CWA
signing and the end of 1964.
Layoff allowances have been in-
creased, but even more important as
far as individual and community
welfare are concerned, is the provi-
sion to assist employees in their


Search for new employment in Hol-
'land, and to subsidize costs of re-
settlement for these employees and
their families.
Non-industrial and industrial dis-
ability benefits have been improved.
Survivor benefits have been increas-
ed to two years' pay to eligible sur-
vivors of an employee who dies while
In the company's service as a result
of an industrial injury or occupatio-
nal disease. This benefit will be paid
regardless of the employee's length
of service.
Wage Adjustment
The CWA also stipulates that Dec.
3, 1964, the company will pay to
employees the equivalent of a three
per cent general increase plus cost-
of-living adjustment. Under the new
CWA, this amount may be added to
base wages, may be applied against
the employee portion of pension
costs, or may be paid as a lump sum.
Lago issued two letters to the
union, and note of these letters was
made in the agreement under work-
ing conditions. One letter states that
medical expenses for family mem-
bers will remain the same during
the life of the CWA whether or not

Lago Offers Employees

Two Programs To Assist

In University Training
Lago has two distinct programs to
assist employees in quest of univer-
sity education. One is the Educatio-
nal Assistance Program and the
other is the Educational Leave of
Absence Policy. They are not the
same, and to be granted the provi-
sions of one does not mean the other
automatically applies.
Here are the ways the plans work.
The Educational Assistance Program
has been developed to sponsor the
university education of national pro-
fessional employees. Under this pro-
gram, all university fees tuition,
board, room, books and other school
fees will be paid by Lago. A per-
centage of present salary will also be
maintained.
To be selected for this assistance,
the employee must have demonstrat-
ed commendable job performance and

ties is discontinued. A joint manage-
ment-union committee will be esta-
blished to cooperatively develop
means for medical coverage in the
future.
The second letter states that Lago
has no plans at this time to discon-
tinue Lago Commissary. Should the
possibility arise that these facilities
would be discontinued during the
term of the CWA, discussions will
be held with the Union Board re-
garding the effect this action would
have on union constituents and their
families. In addition, it was agreed
that if the company decided to dis-
continue Lago Commissary oper-
ations, it would give the IOWUA an
opportunity to take over the oper-
ation.
Under working hours, the forty-
hour, five-day week was agreed to
with maintenance of earning, effec-
tive Oct. 1, 1964, for all workers.
Overtime pay for work on day of
rest and holidays was increased, as
was shift differential. Also liberaliz-
ed was shift change premium com-
pensation.

ment, which will be applicable from
July 1, 1964, through June 30, 1967,

Tourist Bureau had displayed some
Aruban artifacts.
The exhibit was formally opened
June 11 by acting Lt. Gov. I. S. de
Cuba and extended through June 26,
and displayed active attempts to pro-
tect artifacts of Aruba lore and life.
The exposition offered, through its
collection, a view of the island's dev-
elopment pre-dating the Spanish co-
lonization in the 1600's. The Indian
artifacts included stone knives, axes,
chisels, rounded throwing stones, de-
corative pitchers, pedestals, ears and
pendants of Indian earthenware; all
types of articles and jewelry made of
shells; some burial urns and a series
of baked clay pots in undamaged or
slightly damaged condition.
Most of the artifacts were from
the principal places of indian occu-
pation on Aruba Savaneta, Santa
Cruz, Canashito, Noka, Tanki Leen-
dert and Tanki Flip. Some old Euro-
pean earthenware and pieces of Gou-
da pipes represented the colonial era
of the Spaniards and Dutch.
Supplementing the Stichting Aru-
ba Nostra exhibition were collections
of shells and Aruban rock types. One
shell curtain was on display that is
accompanied by the superstition that
its maker will meet some misfortune.
There were also some imitation in-
dian drawings done on colored paper

Presently, the Stichting Aruba
Nostra and the Cultural Center are
endeavoring to get a museum in
which to preserve these and future
archeological discoveries. The two
are exploring various possibilities
concerning different types of hous-
ing for this material.

Future Possibilities
Looking into the future, there are
other possibilities through which the
two groups can help further the is-
land's cultural life. One of these is a
speaker's bureau type of arrange-
ment with portable exhibits. Also
under consideration is an expansion
of the kinds of exhibits to include
culture, such as old songs and paint-
ings.
Underlying all these efforts is the
aim to develop an active interest in
Aruba by Arubans fostered
through a greater knowledge and
understanding of the island's heri-
tage.
Also working towards this end,
somewhat, is the Natural Science
Study Group for the Antilles based
in Utrecht, Netherlands. The group
was set up to study conditions past
and present on all the islands and
its publications have displayed some
Aruban artifacts as well as studies
of the island's birds, animals and
plants.

Year Round 'Green Suit' Being Fashioned

For Aruba by Soil Conservationists
Through the ages, poets and painters have tried to capture and
communicate by pen and brushstroke the beauty that is a tree. In
recent times, conservationists have viewed the tree for its role as a
deterrent to soil erosion and as a promoter of further growing by
giving the soil assistance in retaining rainwater.

Durante siglonan, poetanan y pintornan a purba di capture y co-

A major reforestation project is
now underway in Aruba with goals
which combine the noble aims of
both the artist and the conservation-
ist. The possibilities are such that in
not too many years the island may
reflect the present efforts by sport-
ing a year-round suit of green
Sponsored by the island govein-
ment, the project is being directed
by Dr. E. J. van der Kuip, assisted
by S. M Vrolijk The project was
initiated in January, 1962.
The basis for the optimism ex-
pressed by Dr Van der Kulp is based
on two facts Aruba's soil, contrary
to some beliefs, is exceptionally rich
in minerals that aid growth, and the
average annual rainfall is sufficient

Reforestacion


NEARLY ALL materials used in island reforestation project are collected

ROCK AND cement are used to dam up creek beds and

vegetation if it can be collected.


to sustain a largci amount of vege-
tation than it does presently if
the water can be contained and pre-
vented from running off into the sea
and carrying with it much valuable
soil.
Toward this end, several measures
have been taken and, since the pro-
ject is still in the young and learning
stages, future refinements aie cer-
tain.
Aruba's annual rainfall is, more or
less, twenty inches Though not to
be considered a lot of water, the
problem is not one of quantity, but
of containing that which is avail-
able The soil's water-holding ability
at present is poor because penetra-
tion is difficult and the lack of trees
makes it even more difficult. Before
the water seeps into the ground,
therefore, it rolls off the hillsides and
into the sea
To combat this, stones have been
raked lp and terraced along the
ridges in piles about one and one-
half meters apart. The effect is such
that as the water comes off the hill-
sides, it is slowed by the locks and
given mote time to penetrate the
soil. At the same time, the watei
brings down with it mud, sticks and
leaves which tend to be caught by
the rocks Eventually, the openings
between the rocks will be filled by
these water absoibant materials and
the iuish of water will be almost
stopped.
Along with this effort, cement and
, ock dams have been constructed in
creekbeds to further deter this sea-
ward rush and, hopefully, bind the
watei where it falls.
The ridges are usually ionstilucted
during the dry season Simultaneous-
ly, trees are planted in pots and nut-
tuied for some thiee to six months.
Then, about Octobei, after the trees
have strengthened, they aie placed
on the ridges The tiees can then
profit from the entie lanmy season
In planting the trees on the ridges,
certain steps have been taken to plo-
tect the young saplings from both
elements and goats The tlee is pla-
ed inside sti uctiures of stkiks bill

The sti uctulue beraise of instabili-

as wind breakers so whatever moist-

across a completely open plain
All these features add to the sur-
vival chances of the individual tree
As more and movie trees survive the
hazards faced by the young saplings.

Five Lago engineers recently at-
tended a course in basic process des-
ign at the Latin American Training
Center, Lima. Another Lago engin-
eer, R. S. Swingholm, was one of the
two course coordinators. The atten-
ders from Lago were R. Van Hees-

Two other Lago employees, J. T.
Hegenbarth and V. Tjin-Tham-Sjin
of Comptroller's Department, also
participated in a LATC course. It
was a financial reporting seminar
which dealt with techniques of finan-
cial forecasting, monthly earnings
reports and related problems.
This was the second tune Mr.
Swmgholm was a course instructor

U-Boat 156 Narrative

Presented To Students

With Aid of Lago Booklet
The students of seventeen Aruba
schools received copies of the book-
let that describes the attack on
Aruba by Nazi U-Boat 156. The
booklets were prepared and present-
ed to the schools by Lago's Public
Relations Department. The actual
distribution was done by Severiano
Luydens.
The booklets will be used in con-
junction with the study of Aruba
history, and the narrative will give
the students an intimate glimpse of
the lone action of a global war that
touched their little island.
The attack took place in the early
morning hours of Feb. 16, 1942, and
although it was the action of only
one submarine, the havoc of war was
clearly exhibited in the vicinity of
Lago Refinery. Not all of the marks
of the attack have been wiped away.
One still remains on the wall of Graf
von Zinzendorf School in San Nicho-
las. One of the shells U-Boat 156
lobbed into the night damaged one
wall of the school. Rather than re-
pair the damage, school authorities
chose to leave the shattered concrete
for future generations to see, and,
perhaps, be better able to realize
that it did happen here.
At the Graf von Zinzendorf School,
Principal H. C. L. Capel drew the
attention of his students to the mar-
red wall during the distribution and
reading of the attack booklet.

indicated strong interest in university
training. Considerations affecting
selections are the need at Lago for
a particular profession, the appli-
cant's course of study, acceptance at
a recognized university with a fair
assurance that this level of educa-
tion can be completed, and potential
of candidate.
Thirteen employees, as announced
in this issue, have been selected for
Lago sponsorship at United States
universities under the Educational
Assistance Program. The thirteen
complete the selection for September
enrollment. Thus far, nineteen em-
ployees have been sponsored by
Lago.
If selection is made under the
Educational Assistance Program, the
employee receives the benefits of the
Educational Leave of Absence Policy.
If he is not selected under the as-
sistance program, he still may make
use of the leave of absence policy.
An employee who is accepted by a
school for advanced education not
available in Aruba and who will
finance his education through per-
sonal means or Lago Scholarship
Foundation grants will be eligible
for the Educational Leave of Ab-
sence Policy.
Information and applications re-
garding both programs may be ob-
tained from the Industrial Relations

CWA Accord Reached


(Continued from page 1)
comprises seventy-one items under
seven categories. Fifteen items deal
with holidays, vacation and absences
with pay. Most are liberalizations
and include such grants as day off
with pay on the day the employee
receives his twenty-five year service
watch. Pay and pay rules have four-
teen stipulations, all of which better
the employees' position.
Under working hours, in addition
to the shortened work week, the
company agreed to keep overtime
work to a minimum, and agreed to
use volunteers for overtime work to
the extent possible.
Benefits comprised the largest and
most beneficial gains to employees.
In addition to those cited, it was
agreed that a union and company
representative would investigate the
possibility of providing financial as-
sistance for eligible employees to at-
tain home ownership.
Formal negotiation leading to the
new Collective Working Agreement
were begun Feb. 22. Preceding the
opening, however, the Lago Bargain-
ing Team and the IOWUA Board
members made presentations regard-
ing the problems and concerns of
the company and employees. Jan. 20,
the union submitted its list of pro-
posals and, at the same time, the
company listed proposals which
dealt primarily with changes in or
clarification of existing procedures.
The first round of negotiations
comprised ten meetings and was con-
cluded March 19. Seven meetings
made up the second round of nego-
tiations which began March 26 and
ended April 10, at which time it was
agreed to defer further meetings to
permit each side to re-examine its


position in the bargaining.
Round three of the discussions
opened April 29, and it was at this
meeting that the union submitted
what was termed its "final package."
The two sides met again May 4. The
union's concern for job security was
met with Lago proposals for a re-
duced work week, improved termi-
nation allowances, improved pensions
and a plan for seeking job oppor-
tunities elsewhere. It was at the May
4 meeting that negotiations were
suspended.
At the request of the IOWUA
Board, a joint meeting was arranged
May 9. No agreement was reached
at this meeting, and four days later,
May 13, the Council of Ministers of
the Federal Government proclaimed
a thirty-day cooling off period. An
IOWUA flyer informed the union
membership that the strike which
had been planned for May 14 was
called off.
The next major development was
the appointment of Reint Laan, a
member of the Dutch Lower House,
as special mediator. He arrived in
Aruba May 29, and immediately pro-
ceeded to familiarize himself with
both parties and their presentations
of the issues. The cooling off period,
which would have terminated June
11, was voluntarily extended to
July 1.
The Lago Bargaining Team and
the IOWUA Board reopened nego-
tiations June 15 under the chairman-
ship of Mr. Laan. The meetings con-
tinued almost daily culminating in
agreement in principle June 24, and
the actual signing of this agreement
June 26. All joint meetings conduct-
ed by Mr. Laan were held at the
Aruba Caribbean Hotel.
