Postal Employees jam auditoriu

discuss drastic action’ on wage:

a

Postal employees jammed Pender Auditorium last Saturday afternoon to protest Prin

Minister Diefenbaker’s “buck passing”

on needed wage increases and make preparations

a possible strike to enforce their demands. If such is possible, it will be the first one since 192
“We don’t expect to have to strike, but if we do, it will last longer than the four-hi

strike of civil servants in B.C.,

and it will tie up the coun: -

try” said Dan Cross, national
president of the Canadian
Postal Employees’ Association.
“We're better. organized
than we were in 1924 and
will take drastic -measures, if
necessary, to win pay in-
creases,” he continued.

Protest meetings has been
held all across the country—
in Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto
and Winnipeg—and the over-
worked and underpaid postal
clerks are ready for militant
action, They feel that Diefen-
baker has been “passing the
buck” and that they.are re-

garded as “second class citi-
zens who are refused the col-
lective bargaining rights
available to other citizens.”

They are asking for $40 a.

month increases. for .all postal
employees and‘ $20 a month
more for mail handlers.

Maximum pay for mail
handlers is now $280 a month;
and letter carriers $300, after
four years. Postal clerks get
$335 after six years.

A local union meeting was
held Saturday night at which

members taking part in dis-~

cussion from the floor advo-
cated militant. action to win
their modest wage demands;
