The most significant eco- development I witnessed during that a handful of dominant monopoly replacing hundreds of small and m-size producers, the main mechanism they used in achiev- ition was the securing, through provision, of tree farm licences iving them control, virtually in ty, of the bulk of our most valuable oductive forest lands. 398 argued successfully that they -d that kind of security and tenure in to attract investment capital.

Instead, they are demanding the right to contract-out work normally done by union mmbers. IWA members have already lost almost 10,000 jobs, mainly in the interior logging sector, to non-union contractors who pay far less in wages and fringes. Contracting out can be extended, and already is, to cover both tradesmen and production workers in the manufacturing sector. The companies argue that no currently employed union members will be replaced by contractors, but do not guarantee that those lost by attrition, which is rapid in the industry, will not be replaced by contrac- tors. It is obvious that without such a gua- rantee most of the union workers could be replaced by non-union contractors in a few short years. If Premier Vander Zalm is serious about resolving this strike, he is in the position to — do that by demanding that the majors grant their employees the same kind of security that they enjoy through their TFLs or else risk having them taken away. If he would take that position, he could settle the dis- pute in hours, if not minutes. The NPA’s West-Side arrogance A.C.L. Hughes, Vancouver, writes: While I am frequently at variance with the atti- tudes of some of city council’s decisions, one issue precludes any disagreement on my part. This is that, when the Non-Partisan Association held the balance of power on city council, the area east of Yukon Street received very little physical improvement. Since the present council came into exist- ence, our streets have been curbed and some sewers have been renewed. As a homeowner and one whose taxes will increase, regardless of which group is succesful in November, the future of my property and the district around it is more important to me than any antipathies engendered by individuals on city council. Most people will agree that the main priority of the NPA is the west end of our city and the properties of the wealthy, who fund the NPA’s election campaign. The arrogance of the NPA members of city council and their tendency to vote against issues that would benefit our area should influence our decisions on polling day. ; The overall good to our community should outweigh any private disagreements with the individual ideologies of the alder- men on council.
