Federation of Labor. : “Since the introduction of Bill 33. we have maintained that free collective bargaining was in jeopardy in British Columbia. The latest move by Labor Minister Peterson to end the trucking industry lockout is a threat to free collective bargain- ing for the Teamsters’ mem bers. ‘‘The Federation and its affiliates, when previously faced with a similar showdown with this legislation, have success- fully stood up to the govern ment. “The haste in which the Labor Minister rushed to the aid of the trucking industry before the STOP PRESS NEWS As the PT went to press the Socred government forced through a resolution in the Legis- lature by a vote of 37 to 13, clear- ing the way for the Cabinet to impose compulsory arbitration under Section 18 of Bill 33. lockout was even in effect drama- tically displays the govern- ment’s subservience to the employers of B.C. “Mr. Lawson is correct when he says it signals the end of free collective bargaining in the province. ‘Despite the fact the Teamsters are not affiliated to the B.C. Federation of Labor, the issue is one that deserves the full support of all trade unionists. The Federation therefore pledges full support of the Teamsters’ unioninthe event the union decides to challenge the labor minister’s decision to invoke compulsory arbitration, and end free _ collective bargaining.” By Tuesday evening Teamsters’ spokesmen stated they had signed contracts with 33 trucking firms, Labor Minister Peterson’s notice of motion in the legis- lature last Friday said the work stoppage ‘‘will not only interfere with the freedom and rights of many people to carry out their lawful activities, but also dis- courage and divert investments in the industrial undertakings within B.C. and adversely affect the economy and welfare of its citizens... .”” On that promise, the labor minister could invoke his compul- sory legislation on any and See BILL 33, pg.2 Public opposition on both sides of the border showed how deep it was running against the U.S. scheme to bring huge oil tankers down the B.C. coast to Cherry Point, Washing- ton, when 4,000 B.C. and U.S. citizens gathered at the Peace Arch in a protest rally last Sunday. The rally. was sponsored by representative groups from labor, church, anti-pollution, political parties, and others. Speakers, including Barry Mather NDP MP and Mrs. Mickey Beagle of the United Fisherman and Allied Workers, condemned the plan and demanded it be scrapped. Mather told the meeting that damage from one of the U.S. tankers could do five times the damage of the Arrow disaster which so far has cost $3 million to clean up. Mrs. Beagle, speaking for those who ‘‘depend for their livelihood on the sea,”’ warned that the passage of oil tankers through our waters has the making of a major dis- aster.”’ Opposition to the tanker scheme continued to mount in B.C., Canada and across the U.S. this week, while talks were con- tinuing in Washington. DEFEAT U.S. PLAN A warning that the U:S. is engaged in ‘‘a well organized pressure ploy”’ to push through a continental energy policy, and an appeal that Canadians speak out against both oil tankers on the Pacific Coast and a pipeline through Canada came this week from William Kashtan, national leader of the Communist Party. In a policy statement, the national leader of the Com- munist Party said: A well organized pressure ploy is afoot to push through a con- tinental energy policy. This finds expression in the debate presently under way both in the U.S.A. and in Canada as to whether oil from Alaska should be shipped by huge oil tankers from Valdez to Cherry Point on Puget Sound, twelve miles from the Canadian border and thirty-_ See U.S. OIL, pg. 12
