Resources giveaway
planned by Bennett

Cont'd from pg. 1
which some have described as
“provincialism’’ — is to be found
partly in the Financial Post headline.

The Socred government, over the
years since it came to office, has
moved in the direction of integrating
B.C.’s economy with the U.S. by
carrying through many resources
giveaways. Now it is moving further
to integrate B.C. with Japanese
financial concerns and with the
Japanese economy through the large
scale takeover of B.C.’s major
mining industry and others.

The fact is that Premier Bennett’s
anti-national stand reflects the fact
of foreign domination of the B.C.
economy. The main pull on B.C.’s
economy now is south and east and
not towards the rest of Canada.

The wholesale takeover by
Japanese capital will further
increase this economic alienation
from the rest of Canada.

Also behind Premier Bennett’s
plans to serve foreign capital lies the
main reason for Bill 33 and the
crackdown on labor.

Bennett wants to reverse the trend
by which B.C. labor has been one of
the “leaders in Canada in setting
higher wage standards. Bennett’s

reasoning is that a ‘‘good climate for
foreign investment”’ requires a labor
movement in chains and curbs on the
wage demands of B.C.’s workers.

Bill 33 clearly reveals Bennett’s
role as servant for the big foreign
monopolies which are taking over
our province.

There is still time to stop this
betrayal of B.C. and to demand new
policies which will see our resources
processed in Canada to ensure
growing prosperity and jobs for
Canadians. But time is running out.

LABOR UNITY SCORES

Civic union

wins fight

for recognition in CLC

‘The Vancouver Civic Employees
Union, Local 1004, Canadian Union of
Public Employees has been granted
full recognition by the Canadian
Labor Congress. This means that the
local, formerly known as the Outside
Workers, will be eligible to join the
Vancouver Labor Council and the
British Columbia Federation of
Labor. C.U.P.E. National
Representative Jack Phillips,
former secretary of the local, has
been named by the members to
attend the C.L.C. convention in
Toronto which opens May 6.

The local was suspended from the
former Trades and Labor Congress
in 1950, when it was a directly
chartered federal local, because the
membership refused to agree to the
removal of certain officers who were
not acceptable to the Congress
leadership. It remained independent
until 1966, when it took out a charter
from the Canadian Union of Public
Employees. The C.L.C. then refused
to grant recognition to the local on
the basis of the 16-year old
suspension.

In November of last year,
delegates to C.U.P.E.’s national
convention in Montreal unanimously
passed a resolution instructing the
incoming executive to take the
necessary steps to gain full
recognition for Local 1004, including
the withholding of all per capita tax.

In granting recognition to Local
1004, the Congress Executive Council
was assured that the local union,
would, in common with other
C.U.P.E. locals, be required to
conform to the C.L.C. constitution,
principles and policies.

In a statement to the Pacific
Tribune, C.U.P.E. National
Representative Jack Phillips made
the following comments:

“I am pleased that something I
have worked for the last eighteen
years, along with many others, has
come about. Local 1004 has
consistently fought for labor unity
and one trade union movement in
Canada. The support Local 1004
received as an independent union in
two strikes and now the full
recognition by the C.L.C. are the
fruits of that policy.

“It is my personal opinion that the
Canadian Labor Congress should
include all trade unions in the
country and that it should be a true
parliament of labor, with free
expression for all currents of opinion
within the ranks of labor. What we
need is a united labor movement,
with the main emphasis on united
action around key problems. When
you see governments introducing
vicious legislation like Bill 33, you
realise that we cannot afford to
tolerate a divided trade union
movement.”
