City will introduce
voluntary recycling —

TERRACE — The Ter-
race municipal council has
endorsed in principle the

- idea of voluntary trash

recycling and has resolved
to begin a public educa-
‘tion and awareness pro-
gram to promote recycl-
ing.

City planner Rob Greno
has received material from

- Ottawa and the District of

Saanich indicating that
there could be several
local benefits from better
conservation practices. If
paper, glass. and metal
items were absent from

_ the normal garbage pick-

up, costs to the
municipality would be
reduced and the life expec-
tancy of the local landfill

would be extended by
several years. Greno also
speculated that new in-

dustries could grow up.
. around the recycling of
‘materials.:.

“The use of recycled
materials in paper
manufacturing and metal
production reduces costs
by an average of 35 -per-
cent,’’ Greno said. He
also pointed out that jobs
in recycling might provide
employment opportunities
for groups such as the
mentally handicapped,
who are traditionally ex-
cluded from the
mainstream workforce.

The-only type of recycl-
ing presently operating in
Terrace is directed toward

It promises to be a lot
of fun.

beginning, it’s exactly
what we wanted,’? Mal-
hotra said. ‘‘If this had
been proposed at the start,
the dispute would have
been over four months
ago.”’

. The Truck Loggers’
proposal is a two-year
contract retroactive to
June 15; 1986, with no
wage increase in the first
year and an average in-
crease of 40 cents an hour
in the second year. Pen-
sion benefits will increase
$§ per month for each
year of service to $25 a
month per service year,
and IWA members will
have the option of retiring
at age 60 with full pen-
sion. Members retiring at
age 55 will receive 82 per-
cent of full pension.
Malhotra said members
who have been out of
work since 1983 will not
be penalized on their pen-
sion for breaks in service
during that period.

The issue of contract-
ing-out, the core of the
lengthy dispute, will be
addressed by a Royal
Commission. The Com-
mission is ordered to
report no later than Feb.
1, 1988, with its recom-
mendations regarding job
protection for IWA

members and scheduling

Recycling accepts’ used
bottles from the public
and provides employment
training for disabled peo-
ple on a referral basis
from Terrace and District
Community Services.
Greno suggested that
private companies might
be persuaded to undertake
paper and metal recycling
operations here if Terrace
could become a regional
collection center.

Greno points out that
there could be social
benefits as well, par-
ticularly from educating
young people in the com-
munity about environ-
mentally responsible
lifestyles.

flexibility for the
employers. It is expected
the recommendations will
be filed in time to be ex-
amined before the expiry
of the proposed contract
on June 15, 1988. The
critical provision for the
IWA in the proposal is a

_ freeze on contracting-out

during the period of the
agreement,

Malhotra concluded by
saying the strike was
‘‘definitely worthwhile’.

Don Saunders, chair-
man and chief. executive
officer of FIR, said in a
telephone interview from
Vancouver, ‘‘Everyone’s
grateful that it’s all over.
It’s our proposal and
we're recommending that
the member companies ac-
cept it.’’ The FIR
members will vote today
(Dec. 10) on the agree-
ment,

Saunders said he ex-
pects the recommenda-
tions from the Royal
Commission to set an en-
vironment for a collective
agreement in 1988 and to
provide a framework for
bargaining between the
FIR and the [WA.

Latest estimates from a
number of sources in-
dicate the strike cost the
B.C. economy more than
$2 billion in direct losses.
