THE WESTERN CANADIAN LUMBER WORKER

"LOGGERS END WALKOUT"

“Bader asked Poje if he
could explain how the matter
came about and all he got for
his trouble was a sharp ‘You

shut up, we'll do the talk-
ing’ ”
. He was then informed of
his week’s suspension to take
effect from June 2 to June 8.

The camp committee held

a series of meetings over the
week-end in an attempt to re-
solve the dispute. Camp com-
mittee chairman Rudolph
Vandenbrink contacted the
company personnel manager
John Colwell for help on the
problem and was bluntly told,
“Tve got better things to do
on a Sunday.”

On the Monday morning
the committee informed the
Company that it was the un-
animous decision of the crew
to remain off the job until
Bader was reinstated.

The Company reacted by
stating that no talks would be
held until the men were back
to work.

Salter said this was a typi-
cal remark of the Company

and reflected its tragic dis-
interest in maintaining any
decent kind of management-
employee relations.

He stated that already long-
time employees were leaving
the operation because of the
cheapskate measures the
Company has instituted.

“A good example,” he said,
“was the cut back to five
minutes for operators’ service
time while MacMillan Bloe-
del employees. working in the
same area had their service
time boosted to forty minutes
at time and one half.”

He also charged that the
Company was going to revert
to the old practise of forcing
employees to work the full
eight hours before bringing
them back to the marshalling
point. The practise being fol-
lowed at the moment is for
employees working furthest
from the marshalling point to

quit early so that the whole.

crew gets out at the same
time.

putes flaring up in Crown
Zellerbach operations. They
state that there can be no
doubt the Company’s labour-
management policy is respon-
sible when these flare-ups are
occurring in so many Local
Unions. |

They pointed out that in
the past six months there
have been work stoppages by
Local 1-71 members employed
in the Company’s logging op-
erations at Sandspit, Kitimat
and Kokish, and by Local
1-80 members in the Com-
pany’s logging operation near
Duncan.

Members of Local 1-217
Vancouver, Local 1-357 New
Westminster, and Local 1-423
Kelowna, employed in Crown
Zellerbach manufacturing
plants have also had a rash
of disputes and work stop-
pages.

The Regional officers sug-
gest that it is about time CZ’s
head office revised its present
idiotic industrial relations
policy and moved into the
20th Century.
