Woodworkers strike V.I. camps
as firms duck contract clauses

Some 825 IWA members tied up four Vancouver Island operations this week in pro:
test against ignoring of contract clauses by MacMillan and Bloedel. The stoppages have

been called “illegal” by company president Ralph M. Shaw, but the union men claim that é

the company is interfering with established working conditions. IWA president Joe Mortis

met with MacMillan and-Bloedel representatives ‘this week in an effort to settle the dispute. |»

A union meeting in Camp-
bell River last week, attended
by crews within the bargain-

*ing unit of Local 1-363, heard
in detail how the company is
bypassing a number of clauses
in the master agreement. An
IWA local leaflet said the is-
sues involved are:

® Forcing an unsafe practice
on the rigging slinger by re-
quiring him -to perform two
jobs. The whistle bug should
be blown by an employee who
is in the clear at all times.

@ Forcing fallers, buckers and
sealers out of work and bring-
ing into the operation other
piece workers under the com-
pany’s terms. This concerns
the fallers who were laid off
and new employees hired
through Feje Contractors to
perform part of the work

within the bargaining unit.

® Log haulling department as
it affects persons employed
on the piece work hauling
basis. The company’s practice
of employing seven logging
truck drivers on a contract
owner-operator basis has nar-
nrowed the opportunity of
those still driving trucks,
without. jeopardising the job
they already hold.

,©@ Crews employed for Scotty

McKillop failing. to join the
IWA.

A letter was sent to the
Campbell River Courier from
the crew at Camp 5 ,which
explained the main issue as
follows:

“The main issue under dis--

pute is the electronic signal
device known as the ‘talky

tooter.” We feel it is unsafe |
when operated by the rigginé

slinger, whose job entails
crawling under and over 1088
and through brush.
could result in accidently
giving the wrong ‘signal ‘and

endangering the lives of three —

or four men.

“This device has been found —
to fail in certain spots caused 4
by a phenomenon known & ~
electric —
waves.' This could and does |

ground mineral or

result in a total failure 1

relay a signal, as the rigginé 4
slinger is required to com —

stantly be moving from oné
position to another.

all times.”
