Smithers. to Kitwanga and north to. Stewart, voted to join the engineers last week by 247 to 14 margin. Those workers were represented by the B.C. Gavern- ment Employees ~~ Union (BCGEU) but chose to decertify more than three years ago. This is the first time: a union other than. the BCGEU. has represented employees of the pri- once | vate companies doing road and bridge maintenance in the pro- vince, The BCGEU is the historical represcitative of highway workers, dating back to the days when the highways ministry had its own crews doing maintenance work, Operating cngincers business agent Frank Harmon says there’s a-‘*keen -interest- from emplayees of other privatized compauies.’’ Carol Adains, a‘ public relations officer for the BCGEU, said her union isn’t worried that this is the start of a trend. Suzuki draws bead on Kemano TERRACE -- The filming of an- other David Suzuki docw- mentary — this time focussing on Alcan and the Kemano Conr- pletion’ Project — has some northwesterners worried, Kitimat’s mayor and council - are sending a letter expressing their concerns about the docu- mentary to the CBC, Filming is stil underway and the pro- gram, which includes a substan- tial segment on Alcan’s billion- dollar hydroelectric project, is expected to air early next year.
