Page A2 — Trace Standard, Wednesday, September 11, 1991 TERRACE — Picket lines went up this week as local federal civil servants joined the nation- wide strike. ' ‘There are approximately 120 members of. the Public Service _ Alliance of Canada (PSAC) on strike in the area. The first picket line went up | last Friday, Sept. 6, at. the air- port. — Nearly all of the approx- imately 40 federal servants, at the airport have been declared essential workers so those on’ the lines were on days’ off or between shifts. , Across the area, about 35 per cent of federal service are declared essential and are still on the job, said area PSAC spokesman John MacCormac. “We may not be happy with the people designated as essen- tial, but we are going along with it,” he said. Also declared essential are the 14 unionized workers at the Canada: Employment Centre who deal with unemployment insurance, civilian employees at the RCMP detachment and federal fisheries enforcement officers. - MacCormac added that other unions have offered monetary support and will help - with picket duty. “We're getting a tremendous amount of support from the public here,” said MacCormac last Saturday at the airport picket line, FEGERALC CIVIL servants were outon a ke line at ihe airport late last week in advance of the full nation-wide strike. Airport workers Leon Prusko and Lane Mitchell have been designated essential ser- vice employees but are‘amnang those picketing on their days off. “Our members are prepared to make the sacrfice that’s necessary to win this struggle,” he added. The 146,000 members of PSAC have rejected the federal government’s position that they accept 4a. three-year contract calling for no wage increase the first year and three per cent in each of the second and third years, - That provision: was ‘introduc- ed by the federal government this year as part of a plan it said was necessary to reduce govern- ment spending. = MacCormac and other PSAC members-said they are coming off a three-year contract that already . placed them bdehind workers, doing similar jobs elsewhere. PSAC members said equip- ment operators at the airport earn $4 and hour less than City’: of Terrace workers and that air-' port firefighters make $10,000 less a year than do- their city counterparts. « Traffic going. in ‘or: out -last week wasn’t halted but unioniz- ed workers on the main runway . paving project refused to cross the lines. ° MacCormac. said: work on the project’ won't. begin until the | PSAC strike is concluded.
