Letters to the Editor Td the Editor, TDAP EMSS ae There are a few items in the March 6th edition that I feel that! have to reply to. Not surprisingly, they all have to do with the picketing that took place at Pohle’s and Skeena Sawmills. The first thing I feel compelled to comment on is the atary on: the front page titled “Pulp Workera Return Home”. The only comment I have to make about thisis that no place is it mentioned that IWA supported the picket lines. I know for a fact that WA was out supporting CPU and PPWC because! personally was on the CPU IIne on Friday and the PPWC line on Monday. [ realize that this was probably just an. ‘pversight by the parties involved but felt [ must clear up thé miseonception that IWA wasn’t out there with the rest of thé brothers and sisters. The next thing Ihave to comment on is R.L, Jackman's letier. In reference to his comment as to Barry English’'s legal education. Barry may not be a lawyer but his many years as president of the Terrace and District Forestry Employees Union definitely qualifies him as an autholrty on labour issues. Quite likely he knows more about the legality of labour issues than Mr. Jackman does. “Barry's assumption that the picketers were in a legal position to strike is further enforced by Bob Jackman h such time a rullit fd Hinde by the labgG bo allowed." That'in itselfis' proof (bat’ the fee company to prove that: ‘the pickets should or thouldn't be allowed, I will agree with Bob without hesitation that the Labour Relations Board tend to operate like a floating crap game. It seems that It really depends on who's dice are being used at any one time, The consistently keep reversing their decisions and if it weren’t for their inconsistency they wouldn't show any consistency at all, Of course the in- dependant truckers, businessmen, etc. have a right to support their principals, However it was netessary for the IWA, and all the labour organizations in the Terrace area to band together and support the CPU and the PPWC in their efforts to set up picket lines at the mills in town becuase of the strong arm tacttes of the so called concerned citizens, The union wished to set: up their pickets without the at- tempted violence that was thrust upon the picketers. ‘The only way they could sel up these lines was through the show of support from the labour forces in the area and the suc- cess.of this move was obvious since these so called con- cerned citizens were noticeably absent on Monday. There were also two instances on Monday where these so called | concerned truckers swerved aver and came very close to hitting the picketers, Now on to Per Henrichsen and his comments. I also can only express is disappointment of the goons that had to be on the other side of the road obstructing the picketers earlier in the week. If it had not been for this there would have been no need for the rallying of the labour movement in Terrace on Friday to support the two unions as they would have already accomplished their purpose and gone home, Thank you for allowing me this space to express my views and disappointment inthe. narrow mindedness of some of our management and business people in Terrace. Sincerely yours, Art Grawberg To the Editor, I would like to thank Mr. Glesbrecht for his kind remarks addressed to me in last Tuesdays editlon of your paper. I have a slight correction to make. Iam not the mayor of . New Hazelton. I serve on counci] as an Alderman. The significance | attached In my letter to the fact that the protesters of the Alcan project were given & major time slot at the beginning of the meeting was certainly shared by agood number ofother people I spoke to, who,attended that Meeting. It should be remembered that: “experienced politicians put a great deal of thpughiin the arrangement of a meeting agenda ob a. contrpy. ralal topic, as the sequence and arrangement of the agenda can indicate a bias of the meeting sponsors. if there was no such bias intended it is well to atate this publicly at the start. Ltickily I provided a forum to correct that impredsion, by writing a letter, so I guess you o owe le mejone, Now for the reference to people who are not even from the Terrace area sticking their nose into Terrace business, you are no doubt aware that I have sat on the Regional District Board for some years, that I sit on the school district ag board and that J am the chairman of the Regional Econimic Development Council, As such I quite legitamately take an interest In Development and Employment in the Northwest. Our Communities are not Httle kingdoms unto themselves. We are all part of a reglon, and what happens in Terrace, Kitimat, Thornhill or Hazelton for that matter, can in- fluence all our livelyhood in the Northwest. And as a private and concerned citizen of the Northwest with opinions that quite often differ from Mr. Gleabrecht's, | intend to continue expressing my freedom of apeech Wherever, whenever, and an whatever topic I choose. Finally, at the risk of inviting another spellbinder, I sometimes get the idea that, to paraphrase Shakespeare, “he doeth protest foo much”. P, Weeber ol.
