Federici says that BUG is ready to negotiate with the union, but the two sides %u201cstill seem to be very far apart.%u201dWages, hospitalization plans and work rules are still the main issues in conflict between BUG and its Union, with medical benefits, a particularly sore spot. Currently, BUG pays the entire premium for the workers, but in the contract offer, unionMore than 500 Brooklyn Union Gasstrikers marched across the BrooklynBridge to bring attention to their cause.(Phoenix/Kirk Photo)members will have to pick up most of the costs by 1988. The proposed plan calls for the employee to begin paying $62 each month in January, 1987, for a family plan and $95 per month by January, 1988. BUG management says they want the union members to be under the same plan as the rest of the utility companies employees.Pay increases have also received a great deal of scrutiny as charges fly between the two sides. The union is asking for a five percent increase every year for the next three years and BUG is now oaering four percent increases. Again, the company says it is the same increase most of the other employees at the company received, but the union says it wants the increase to be in line with cost-ofliving adjustments.Trolley Right On Track For Museum FranchiseContinued from Page Ibe on display.%u201cBefore the railroad, Brooklyn was just a suburb of Manhattan and only after the railroad did it become the third largest city in the United States,%u201d Diamond says, explaining the importance of the LIRR in the 19th century.The next 14 months he says will be spent obtaining the financing for the project. Financing calls for approximately $2 million in the City%u2019s capital budget for fiscal year 1987 to fund the building costs. Construction in this phase will include building two entrances into the tunnel %u2014 one which opens onto the Northeast comer of Court Street and Atlantic Avenue and the other at the Southwest comer of Hicks Street and Atlantic Avenue replete with replicas of antique kiosks a la 1844 when the tunnel originally opened.Capital budget requests would also fund ventilation systems needed for the tunnel, which according to Diamond will open onto the street disguised as antique street lamps, and for the construction of one track inside the tunnel.Corporations and foundations are also expected to shoulder some of the financial burden, Diamond anticipates and says funding will be actively solicited in upcoming months. %u201cThe City will cover the capital budget, but we will be going to corporations and foundations for initial money for theoperating budget,%u201d Diamond says. He adds, however, that ultimately the museum is expected to cover its own costs.Since Diamond first descended into the tunnel in August 1980, following months of research into its existence, the tracks have been laid slowly but surely for the implementation of his plan. His excitement he says, has not abated, but is fueled further with each turn of the comer. One success last year came when a Staten Island man donated a trolley to Diamond to use in his tunnel.Aside from the more immediate plans to build the museum, Diamond is also looking further down the road to resume use of the tunnel as a true transportation facility. Next on the agenda are plans to open up the portal and ramp for the tunnel at the end of Columbia Street and extend the trolley track down to Fulton Ferry Landing, where the trolley is now stored.%u201cIt makes sense from a transportation point of view because anything that happens down there will need easy transportation to the waterfront,%u201d he explains. Summing up the two phases of his project, he points out that the plan is in keeping with history. %u201cIt will be a hybrid between museum and transportation and most appropriate in light of its history,%u201d he says. In the meantime, structural design and architecture plans for the project are on the drawing board, and the trolley, stored at 88 Water Street, awaits its christening run..Y.P.D.WALKED HOME: A 43-year old woman walking home from a friend%u2019s house on August 25 at 10:50pm was stopped at the corner of Atlantic Avenue and Hoyt Street by a man who said: %u201cThere%u2019s nothing to be afraid of, I%u2019ll walk you home.%u201d When the man arrived at the women%u2019s house, he asked to make a phone call and when she refused, he pulled out a knife and demanded her money. In the scuffle that ensued, he stabbed her in the hand and scratched her face. He escaped with $11.TIED UP: A 41-year old woman was robbed by a man who entered her office at 16 Court Street asksing for a job application.
