JEFF POWER TELLS COURT

“Injunctions in labor
disputes are unjust’

In a dramatic speech outlining
why labor is opposed to in-
junctions, one of the jailed union
leaders, Jeff Power, president of
the Marine Workers’ Union,
Thursday called on the court to
quash the sentences of the un-
ionists sent to jail, The court is
hearing an appeal this week.

“I am before this court today
to appeal against an unjust sen-
tence for an act of fraternal
support rendered a group of
fellow trade unionists on strike
at Lenkurt Electric Company,”
he said in opening his court ad-
dress,

Tracing the events at Lenkurt,
Power said: “The injunctions is-
Sued in this case, which banned
any form of picketing or other
show of support for the victim-
ized Lenkurt workers, virtually
guaranteed the Company victory
Over its employees, .

“I regard injunctions issued to

employers in labor disputes as
direct intercession on behalf of
the employer,

“Moreover, I believe there is
nothing in Canadian law that com-
pels a court to issue an injunction
in any labor dispute. What Iam
saying is that the courts have
discretionary power in the matter
of issuing injunctions in labor
(or any other) disputes. They
have chosen to use that power on
the side of the employer virtually
without exception.”

In his lengthy statement which
outlined labor’s long struggle
against the use of injunctions, and
quoted from many legal author-
ities condemning the unjustness
of injunctions in labor disputes,
Power said:

“J believe injunctions should
not be issued in labor disputes
regardless of the circumstances,

strongly that when it comes to in-
junctions, there is ‘one law for
management and another for
labor.’

“T was andam firmly convinced
that edicts of the court which
contravene basic human rights
must be opposed or conversely,
the rights I consider inherent
in our society, and they include
the right to strike and picket,
must be upheld by those who wish
to see them preserved,

“J maintained that injunctions
in labor disputes fall accurately
and fairly into the category of
unjust laws or orders, I am
firmly convinced they are instru-
ments of injustice fashioned and
utilized to further the interests
of employers and business andto
limit and restrict those of work-
ing people and the unions that
represent them,

“An injunction that restricts
picketing or goes so far as to
stop picketing in a labor dispute
is merely opening the door to
scabbery and facilitating strike-
breaking, It is helping the em-
ployer and hindering labor.

“For the trade union move-
ment to accept injunctions in labor

disputes is to accept the right of —

the courts to determine their
wages and working conditions —
and indeed whether or not they
will have a job, as at Lenkurt —
merely on the application of an
employer,

“It is unfair, unjust and some-
thing I have opposed and will
continue to oppose by word or
deed,” said Power.
