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.
