FROM PAGE ONE “INTERIOR VOTE" between themselves and Coastal woodworkers. Sherlock’s proposal of 68 cents an hour over three _ years was scored by the Un- ion’s Negotiating Committee who in recommending rejec- tion pointed out that the wage increase was only six cents more than the last employers’ offer of 62 cents made last February 27. ' The only other major changes were improvement for shift differential and in- clusion of a sawmill evalua- tion plan. . The Negotiating Committee in recommending rejection of Sherlock’s proposals stated: “After the widest possible consultation with local strike committees in the Southern Interior, the IWA Negotiating Committee has decided unan- imously to recommend rejec- tion of the Conciliation Of- ficer’s proposed settlement terms on the following grounds: “The recommendations fail to present any adequate solu- tion of the central issue in the strike. We estimate that upon expiration of the proposed dlaly|tloin contract, August 31, 1970, the wages for Interior woodwork- ers will be as far below coast wages as ever. The report ig- nores the possibilities of phased-in adjustments to coast contract standards made possible in the contract now in effect at Celgar Ltd. In ef- fect, the report assumes that other Interior woodworkers must accept sub-standard wages for the rest of their working lives with Interior living costs consistently higher than at the Coast. “The report ignores the non-cost item demanded by the IWA of an expiration date on June 14th easily made pos- sible in a three-year contract. “Tn the opinion of the Com- mittee, the report upholds the ‘views expressed by the Gov- ernment and the dominating wealthy corporations. Be- cause of their uncompromis- ing attitude, these employers must accept the blame for the prolonged strike action and public inconvenience. The employers have not attempted to match the compromises made by the Union to facili- tate a settlement. LISTENIN’ TO THAT OLD COOT MAKES ME WANT TA PULL TH’ PIN... THEN I GETS THINKIN’ OF HOME . . AND’ ME MOTHER-IN-LAW! “The determination of In- terior woodworkers to get a square deal made evident by their sacrifices during a sev- en-month strike has been un- derestimated. The Committee finds it repugnant to advise abject surrender at this stage to the dictates of the govern- ment and the corporations, “Upon rejection of the Con- ciliation Officer’s recommend- ations, the Union will propose the immediate resumption of negotiations to secure amend- ments to the report making provision for terms of settle- ment similar to those accepted by Celgar Ltd., Castlegar, for its Southern Interior operations.” IS A MAN WHO OWNS A PAIR OF DAYTON “LIGHT CRUISERS", THE No. 1 BOOT OF THE B.C.
