END STRIK

For the third time in less than three years
Parliament has been used as the instrument of
the B.C. Maritime Employers Association to take
away the democratic right to strike from West
Coast Longshoremen. Once again the Trudeau
Government used strike-breaking legislation to
force 4,000, longshoremen and 300 longshore
foremen back to work on terms described by the
union as insidious, harsh and repressive.

crisis not of their making through inflation and
unemployment, working people will be forced to
fight back with every means of defence, includ-
ing the strike weapon us a last resort.

The Communist Party condemns the action of
the government in using strike-breaking legisla-
tion as a means to aid employers and coerce
labor, denying labor its fundamental right to
bargain over its conditions of employment. Like-
wise we condemn the action of parliament in
rubber-stamping this kind of undemocratic
action.

We demand a complete reversal of government
policy in labor-management relations, making
employers respect the fundamental rights of
working people to collective bargaining and the
right to strike. This right, which is under increas-
ing attack by the reactionary press and the
Tories, must be upheld for the workers in the
public service as well.

We call upon the Canadian people, and the
trade union movement in the first place, to de-
mand action from the government in this respect.

STATEMENT BY THE CENTRAL EXECUTIVE,
COMMUNIST PARTY. OF CANADA Sr

this bill in principle, as an outrageous and total-
ly unacceptable interference in the process of
free collective bargaining fortified by the workers

Moreover, the so-called emergency debate jin
Parliament came only a few hour after a meeting
with the Canadian Labor Congress, where labor-
management relations were discussed. Clearly,
by its action in this case, as well as in dealings
with its own employees, the government has
shown its ability to act with great speed in mobil-
full power of the state to clobber
But it is unwilling to curb monopoly
