Psychiatric nurses join
In province-wide action

Psychiatric nurs¢s af
Skeenaview Hospital have-
written thelr resignations.

_ But tne resignation may nev-
er be submitted.

_If they are Skeenaview ad-
ministrator W, E. Skillicorn
says the hospital faces a drastic
situation, :

! The local branch of the B.C.
Psychiatric Nurses Association
joined 900 nurses through
the province in a mass protest
against the Provincial Govern-
ment’s refusal to submit . to
binding arbitration in a current
dispute over salaries.

NOT A STRIKE

President of the association’s
Terrace chapter, Charles F, Cal-
land' stressed that the resigna-
tions did not make a strike.

“We have not submitted the
resignations, but we are hold
ing them ready,” he said. _

At issue is the association's
uneasiness at apparent Govern:
ment delay to establish a three-
member panel representing the
nurses, the Civil service, and an
independent member,

The nurses also wanted bind-
ing arbitration instead of an
advisory report. . .
HOSPITAL ANXIOUS

‘Skeenaview Hospital admin:
istrator W. E. Skillicorn said
that if the nurses resigned; the
‘local: hospital. ‘faced; “ai arastic
situation.” ~~

““We have 300 patients here,
many. of whom “are senile or
difficult to cope with. .

“We could feed them and,we
would: have a nucleus of psychi.
