“UNION MADE”

VACATION WITH P

(a) Article X, section
to be amended to read
earned vacations muSt
taken.”

(b) Article X, section
to be amended further to r
that “All vacations for em §
ployees in excess of two weeks % |
shall be taken at such times %
as mutually agreed upon by ¥
the employee and the com. —
pany when quantity and regu-
larity of production shall not
be impaired.” ;

CONTRACTORS AND
SUB-CONTRACTORS
The letter of understandin,

issued on June 16, 1961,

be re-issued with a clause
stating that the company shall
notify the union as to the com-
mencement date of present
and new logging shows.

PAY DAYS
Article XVII to be amend-
ed to provide for pay days
every second Friday with a
statement of earnings and de
ductions, this practice to be

commenced no later than
June 1, 1967.
ARBITRATION

Agreement has been reach-
ed on the principle of a one-
man arbitrator with a panel
of permanent chairmen to be
agreed upon at a later date,
together with a provision that ¢)
it either party is dissatisfi
with the permanent choice of
arbitration chairman, another
choice of chairman will be ~
considered by both parties,

The above settlement is
looked upon by the IWA asa
breakthrough for the union in
the B.C. Interior, where ne-
gotiations for new contracts
in both the northern and
southern interior are slated
for next summer. Parity with
wage rates on the coast is ex-
pected to be a major IWA
demand.

The Weldwood - Cariboo
crew is to be complimented
on their determination to gain
base-rate-parity with the coast
as shown in the government-
supervised strike vote (97%)
and on their restraint in the
face of necessary timeé-con-
suming negotiations past the
expiry date of their former
contract.
