no mention‘in recorded history of

what happened to the ammuni-’

tion, arms and explosives from
those emptied depots. One unsub-
stantiated rumour says some or
all of it was secretly buried before

the soldiers gave into threats of:
being bombed, and may still be in’

its hiding place.

ACTION WAITS
FOR VOTE

The potential for a major
strike that would affect Mills
Memorial Hospital is still simmer-
ing away as members of the Hos-
pital Employees’ Union through-
out B.C. vote on a contract offer
from the Health Labour Relations
Association. Voting that started in
union locals March 12 is expected
to conclude Wednesday.

The HEU headquarters in
Vancouver will tabulate the votes

and announce the results March
26.

The HLRA offer, announced:

by the employers’ association as

being "final", was tabled in early —

March and the union executive is
urging its members. to: vote

against it. The executive stated in —

a news release March 5 that the
proposal offers wage increases

averaging five percent, "and no_

real improvements in pay equity

or workload offers". The latter two’

issues have been the primary
bargaining thrust for the HEU.
The union served 72-hour
strike notice on employers March
7, no full-scale strike action will
take place until after the: votes
are counted. HEU communica-
tions officer Chris Gainor said

Wednesday there are minor slow-
_ down actions occurring at some
facilities, but Mills Memorial is

not among them.

There are 98 HEU members
in Terrace.
