oalition leaders want
to boycott merchants

By JEFF NAGEL
UNION LEADERS want to boycott
local businesses that support the
B.C, Liberal government cutbacks.

Signs have already been made up
for businesses to hang in their win-
dows indicating they support pro-
(esters and object to the sweeping
civil service cuts.

But Don Philpott, vice-president
of the Kitimat-Terrace and’ District
Labour Council, says he wants to go
further and survey of local merchants
to smoke out where they stand on
the issue of government cuts.

Workers could then shun shops
that “don’t support us.”

“We need to stop giving them our
money now,” Philpott told a protest
rally here Jan. 29. “To hell with
them,”

He says local businesses suppor-
ted Liberal Roger Harris and pres-
sure on them may persuade Skeena’s
MLA to rethink his support of the
government.

One Philpott wants to convert is
chamber of commerce president
Beity Barton.

He said he was disappointed to
see Barton, a Shames Mountain
manager, voice suppert for govern-
ment cutbacks that hurt Terrace.

“There’s no business in Terrace
that has received more handouts
from the public purse than Shames
Mountain has,” Philpott said.

“And I wonder where Shames
Mountain would be without the pub-
lic service wages that are spent up
there on lift tickets.”

Another more distant tool to re-
move Harris is 2 recall campaign,

LABOUR COUNCIL vice-president Don Philpott hotds a sign designed
to identify shops that support civil service jobs and oppose cutbacks.

Recent rallies have seen pro-
testers chant “recall, recall, recall”
and use slogans like “Hey, hey, ho
ho. Roger Harris has got to go” and
“T don’t know but [ve been told.
Roger Harris has no soul.”

Harris must get with the people’s
program, Philpoit said or face the
consequences.

“You've had it buddy,” he said.
“We're coming to get you.”

If locals do plan to mount a recall

campaign, theyll have to wait until
18 months after the election.

That means the first day anyone
can begin a recall campaign is Nov.
18, according to Elections B.C.

Terrace was the site of B.C.'s first
recall campaign in 1997, when local
Crash Helmut forces tried to recall
NDP MLA Helmut Giesbrecht.

They failed to get the required 40
per cent of signatures of eligible vo-
ters within 60 days.

is absolutely irrespons-
ible,” Harris said. “It sends
a terrible message about

_democracy in our com-
munity and how it works.”

“If we've reached the
point where if we don't
like the way you voted

we're going to economic-
ally put you out of busi-
ness and force you to
leave the community,
what does that have to say
about the organization that
proposes that? It shows if
anything a lack of sense of

respect for the system.”
