STATUS DENIED
LABOR SECT

TORONTO (CPA) — By
unanimous decision, the On-
tario Labor Relations Board
has refused to certify an or-
ganization calling itself the
Christian Labor Association of
Canada as bargaining agent
for a group of Hamilton print-
ing plant workers.

The organization, which
claims to represent some work-
ers in British Columbia, was
refused certification on behalf
of some 16 employees of the
Bosch and Keuning printing
plant in Hamilton on the
grounds that its membership
records did not meet the stan-
dards of the OLRB.

However, the main point of
_ contention during the hearings
on the application which took
place last March was the restric-
tion of membership on the
-

grounds of religion. When the
general secretary of the Chris-
tian Labor Association was asked
whether a Jew or Moslem was
eligible for membership, he re-
plied: “All we ask is that they
sign the constitution.”

Excludes Non-believers

The CLAC constitution states
that the organization seeks “the
practical application of Christian
principles in collective bargain-
ing.” It also strives to “make
propaganda for Christian econ-
omic and industrial principles
and their proper application.”

In rejecting the CLAC applica-
tion, the labor board notes that
the Ontario Labor Relations Act
and The Fair Employment Prac-
tices Act both prohibit discrim-
ination in the matter of employ-
ment.
