When talking of the newer

rather regretfully “There is
seemingly a lack of interest
shown. A lack of appreciation
for the hard fought for con-
ditions which they enjoy now,
pension plan, hours of work, and”

‘the safety slandards. They
take then for granted and don’t

workers receive the same pay
as their Canadian counterparts

point he argues vigorously for is
worker participation in the
running of companies. He says
worker participation would
provide. insight. for both the
employer and the employee and
this “should be allained at the
beard room level.”

When the conversation drifts. .

away from trade unionism and

‘religion, both subjects of great
seriousness lo George, he’

displays a quiet humour and a
preat love for this part: of lhe

” Province’ and its‘communities. -

Although being born and bred in
Terrace, he . yearns. for “lhe
simpler, if harsher life further —
north and is more than a little
regretful of the rapid growth he
has seen in this town. “Cities
quickly ‘becdme- jungles,” he’
reflecis “I'd like to head north’
where. there . are still , small
