Earlier that weck, she says, eight of them had signed cards voting to join the union. The certification hearing is set for this morning in Vancouver. Redpath says she expects Slumberlodge management will challenge it. “If they challenge it, they’re going to have to conic up with one helluva excuse for laying people off’, she says. “People are laid off when there’s not enough work for them, and that’s not the case here.”” Terrace Slumberlodge manager Bob Reid says he’s been ordered not to com- nent, and referred all queries to the head office in Vancouver.
