(Previously) they had acquired the skills but they hadnt acquired the speed, Gracey said.

There will be about five entry-level six-month positions available to youths, Gracey said. The long-term staff will help train them, and Gracey said Youth Unlimited will try to maintain federal and provincial funding for the six-month ed is aiming for an April 1 opening. Located in the Wascana Centre, the restaurant provided youths with training in food preparation and service in six-month periods over the past three years. Youth Unlimited has not made final the details with its insurance company, Gracey said. We have enough information to know we can proceed.

The restaurant will switch to counter service from table service and feature a slightly smaller menu with takeouts available, Gracey said. This will give all the students a chance to work with food preparation, as opposed to the past format which divided them into cooks and waiters. By Mike OBrien of The Leader-Post The Wascana Marina Restaurant, which trains Regina youths, is coming back from the ashes of an Oct. 14 fire with several major changes. The restaurant, run by Youth Unlimited, will provide longer, more varied training to a smaller group of students and will feature a more relaxed atmosphere and smaller menu.

Our experience shows there are some major health and safety problems in Saskatchewan workplaces, said Harminder Magnon, chairman of the CUPE task force. While co-operation is required among all three parties the government, employers and workers the major responsibility for assuring safety in the workplace rests with the government, he said. Many of our members complain that health and safety requirements are being ignored by employers, and government enforcement has declined due to cutbacks.

The current campaign is an attempt to find out more clearly the kinds of problems that exist across the province. Questionnaires and information on current provincial legislation have been sent to CUPEs 250 Saskatchewan locals. The task force will hold hearings in six communities where union members are being invited to make either oral or written presentations. The hearings take place in Yorkton on Feb. Prince Albert on Feb.

North Bat-tleford on Feb. 11; Swift Current on Feb. 12; Saskatoon on Feb. 13 and in Regina on Feb. 14.

Results of the questionnaires and information gathered from the hearings will be compiled into a brief which CUPE hopes to present to both the provincial government and Opposition caucuses sometime in March when the legislature is back in session.
