- Finds the west
more productive

CALGARY (CP) —
Anthony ‘Jacek says
Telocating his business to
Calgary from Toronto was
expersive but the move
was:
he finds his new workers
more productive and

. dependable than the oes

he had in Toronto. .
' “simply couldn't get
employees there,” says

Jacek, who restores an: -

ue car parts. |
’ “They all just wanted to
work long ‘enough to gel
unemployment insurance,
They didn't care if they
learned anything and they -
sure didn't want -to work
’ very hard.”
. Jacek came from.
Poland, where he was :
cherhistry teacher, .
years ago. Because he
didn’t know. English, he
could not gel.a teaching job
in Canada. :

After ‘working in. .a

University of ‘Toronto’

Inboratory, he decided to
lear a “trade. He ‘ap
‘pregticed.in metal plafing
and used the Iab to ex-
‘periment .with new.

own electroplating shop

workers. Last. ‘year, ate

sold out his Toronto |

rth while- because -

In Calgary, Jacek said,
be has had no trouble
felting eager, con-
sclentious workers simply’

by contacting ‘Camida“*™

Manpower.
Chrome is -a ‘strategic
‘metal for plating airline
parts and Jacek said there
is a market for
_ replacement parts made in
Calgary if he can reverse
the buying habits of locai
users who go to Teronto far
supplies.

To attract business,
Jacek plans to start what
he believes will be the only
electroless nickel-plating
service west of Toronlo.

_ Most plating is done by
‘submersing the. metal —
usally a steel alloy — ina
conducting

solution containing

* posilively-charged hunks ©

of metal used for plating.
‘The stgel automobile

_ bumper, grill or airplane

part is negatively charged
and thus attracts the
coating metal.

Jacek said using this
process, it is difficult to
control the thickness of the
coating. Electroless
"plating, on the other hand,
gives an even coaling, but

_ the process is more com-

" plicated and onty two firms
. in Toronto still do it. A féw
” years ago Toronto had i!
such firms. .

While commercial
operations are generally
automated, Jacek's
rand has to do every-
* thing by. hand.
