Coalition. Some 2,000 people also gathered at a Building Trades cally Mar. 17. But despite the militancy and the deter: mination of many unionists to press the issue, the Building Trades did not have the program or resources to fight the inevitable court orders and were compelled to put a halt to the picketing. For the three weeks it was up, however, the picket line dramatized the issue of non- union ‘contractors in a way no other cam- paign had done. Gautier had emphasized at the Mar. 17 rally that the picket line at the site was not going to be “Custer’s last stand for the Building Trades. “We're going to continue the fight and : Burnab y continue to try to win maximum unity,” he said. ‘ sé He told reporters at a news conference “ Fi ood, refreshments Mar. 23: “We will be maintaining and é ie and fun intensifying our fight against those unscrup- | ce a =) d ) Baron of beef dinner: 6 p.m. Dance: 9 p.m. with COMMUNIQUE Price: $10 SS ea | RESERVE NOW A banquet to honor MAURICE RUSH for his 50 years of service to. the Communist Party and 10 the labor and peace movements.

Federation of Labor hot edict on the. site will also remain as long as the project is non-union. On Monday, more than 600 unionists, including many unemployed who had main- tained the picket line, packed the Oper- ating Engineers Hall in Burnaby to discuss the campaign against Kerkhoff and the con- tinuing action against the non-union threat. The meeting was closed to the media but some Building Trades Council leaders reportedly took considerable criticism from rank and file unionists for their slowness in mounting a fight against the threat to the trades. The meeting endorsed a program for further action which includes: eA ppearances before city council to press the demand that Expo 86 and B.C. Place be built with union labor; @ Further actions at other non-union job sites; @ Issuing a charter of rights for the Build- ing Trades for decent wages, union security and apprenticeship training; © Distribution of a leaflet entitled The Real Kerkhoff Story which details the non- union contractor’s record of poar quality construction work; © Continuation of the campaign to with- draw funds from credit unions. The meeting also called for an all-trades meeting — expected to take place next week in the Agrodome — to consider the Building Trades response’ if fines or jail sentences are levied against leaders for con- tempt of court. . That response is expected to take the- form of job action on union construction sites. ‘ Classified Advertising COMING EVENTS MAR. 31 — After the Solidarity Rally, join the Tribune at Fish Hall.
