Real jobless rate far worse

Local 452 revealed this alarming figure after
conducting a survey of over 600 residents in
the area. The survey was not confined to
construction workers but was a scientific
sampling,

Statistics Canada showed 11.9 per cent
unemployed in the Vancouver area during
the period of the survey. The large number
of hidden unemployed is a matter of specu-
lation but there is reason to believe that the
figures the survey found are consistently
more than the StatsCan figures throughout
the Kingsway riding. Add the numbers of
underemployed that the survey found and
the figure approaches 50 per cent.

How much worse must the problem
become before answers are found? Clearly,
increasing technological change has given
us higher productivity but at great cost in
jobs. The question is begged — if neither
government nor industry have the answers
to the social problems that will grow as
world competition increases, what is left for
workers but to resolve the issues them-
selves? Surely the biggest crime that must be
answered for is our unrealized possiblities.

Fruit ads mask
Pinochet terror

Robert D. Smith, Vancouver, writes:
While having a woman sweetly sing-
ing about Chile as “‘a land like Cali-
fornia, U.S.A.” doubtless sells more
grapes than an account of someone
tortured under Pinochet, it is never-
theless appalling that all the major
grocery chains so brazenly support
such a regime, sugar-coating it with a
slick media campaign. In openly
promoting the sales of Chilean
grapes, Safeway, Super-Valu and oth-
ers are assuming that most people
either don’t know or don’t care about
the many atrocities perpetrated by
Pinochet’s regime.

Chile is called a “‘grand land” in the
ads. It should be called a blood-
drenched fascist tyranny — but that
would hardly project the necessary
glowing media image of a Latin
