ZU Terrace Review — Wednesday, Jan. 15, 1986

_PWA strike continues

ed on a PWA flight.

The three-union strike
_ against Pacific Western

‘Airlines may be affecting
the company’s number
of passengers, but not as
much as the recent holi-
day fog in Vancouver.

Local PWA manager

~ Terry Morris said prior
to each daily flight
pickets arrive at the
Terrace-Kitimat airport
to display the union posi-
tion.

There are three people
affected by the strike at
the local airport, all
members of UAW-
CALEA customer ser-
vice union.

There are no Terrace-
based members of the
other two striking unions
— the Canadian Airline

Flight Attendants Union
and the machinists’
IAMAW. ;

It is difficult to
estimate the number of
passangers lost to the
airline due to the strike
action, Morris said, par-

tially because the Van--
‘couver holiday: fog

cancelled 14 out of 26
flights to Terrace.

Morris added, except
for travellers with a
strong union position, he
believes the passanger
loss has been ‘‘reason-
ably minimal.”’

A local travel agent
confirmed only those
flyers known to be active
union supporters have
been specifically re-
questing to not be book-

Responsibility for
airport operation

may shift

Proposed changes by
the federal . government
may mean major shifts
to both the Terrace-
Kitimat airport and the
size of Terrace.

City council received a
letter from the B.C.
Aviation Council point-
ing out ‘initiatives by
Transport Canada to
study the implications of
shifting the responsibil-
ity for airport operation
to local authority.

Alderman George

Clark suggested it was an
opportunity to lobby for
technological upgrading
of the local airport to
allow more planes to
land,

Alderman Ruth Hal-
lock wanted to be sure
whatever changes took
place Kitimat would pay

a share. .

Clark then wondered
if the proposal would
mean Terrace could ex-
tend its boundaries to in-
clude the airport.

Alderman Bob Cooper
said the federal govern-
ment could not force
Terrace or any munic-
ipality to extend its
boundaries if a town did
not want to do so.

Mayor Jack Talstra
said Cranbrook was sued
for an airplane crash at
that city’s airport be-
cause that town has a
greater say in the run-
ning of its facility than
does Terrace. ;

City planner Rob
Greno is to get more in-

formation on the pro-

posed changes and
report to the economic
development office.

Morris said ‘‘vigor-
ous’? negotiations bet-
ween PWA and the three
unions are going on and
all four parties have in-
dicated they will meet

together almost con-.
tinuiously until the labor |

dispute is resolved. -
