Dear Mr. Coe: We note your labour agreement provides I'm voicing the concems of 1 my 5,500 members regarding Dairyworld’s announc- ement to lay off 11 workers in Terrace and 13 in Prince George due to the closure of its production facility. This follows the closure of your Smithers operation, Our region has been rocked by corporate lay-offs and corporate mismanagement in a number of sectors. Despite the valiant ef- forts of our provincial government we con- tinue to lose much needed jobs. We would have expected Dairyland Foods Division to act in the public interest Canadian productions. I am not ignoring the fact that Terrace is a small market and the theatre must make de- cisions mostly in favour of the more profitable, big studio films. But as a movie fan I am forced to ques- tion the Tillicum’s credibility when man- ager Adrian Enright hasn’t even heard of “The Sweet Hereafter’’, The film has placed on more than 200 critics’ top 10 lists and is arguably the most internationally ac- claimed movie of 1997. And yet booking ““Spiceworld’? as a good film? In my opinion the theatre has got to get its no wage gain and no benefit increases for the next five years, Obviously, your em- ployees are making a serious effort to sup- port the corporation, Therefore, ] urge you to show the same support to your workers and to the public. Many of my members are outraged that a company whom we perceived to be a good corporate citizen would be so disrespectful of northern communities.
