Rand
Formula

Tested

MONTREAL (CPA) —Que-
bec labor organizations are
planning to contest a recent de-
cision by Mr. Justice Fernand
Choquette of the Quebec Supe-
rior Court that the Rand form-
ula is illegal. Mr. Justice Cho-
quette’s judgment was made at
Quebec City on Sept. 7 in a
case involving Paquet Ltd. and
400 employees of their depart-
ment store who are members of
the Retail Store Employees
Union (CCCL).

The Rand formula, providing
for the payment of union dues or
their equivalent by all workers
within a bargaining unit whether
or not the workers are members
of the bargaining union, was laid
down by Mr. Justice Rand in the
settlement of the Ford Motor Co.
strike at Windsor Ont. in 1945.
Mr. Justice Rand declared that
all individuals in a bargaining
unit, whether or not they were
union members, benefitted from
activities of the union in seeking
improvements in wages and work-
ing conditions.

Quebec Decision

The Quebec decision was based
on the contention of Mr, Justice
Choquette that two people cannot
negotiate a contract committing a
third person to pay without the
latter’s consent.

Many companies operating in
Quebec have accepted the provi-
sions of the Rand formula in
their collective agreements and
the recent decision means that
they could now revoke that ac-
ceptance. To combat this possi-
bility, the Montreal Labor Goun-
cil is seeking the support of other
Quebec labor groups to carry an
appeal in the case to the Su-
preme Court of Canada.

Libel Suit
Filed

HAMILTON (CPA) — Wil-
liam Lisson, president of Local
1005, United Steelworkers, has
filed suits for libel against the
Toronto Star and the Globe and
and Mail in connection with an
incident concerning two em-
ployees of the Steel Company
of Canada here.

The steel representative is
seeking damages of $50,000 from
each paper as a result of news
stories and comment they pub-
lished describing a racial incident
at the Steleo plant.
