@ The Legislature should
enable a full enquiry into
labour-management develop-

mittee on Labour. The trade
unions should be given a
hearing before the Legis-
lature in this manner.

@ The sections of the
Labour Relations Act which
restrict trade union political
activity should be deleted, as
unconstitutional.

@ The law should prohibit
the use of injunctions against
peaceful picketing during an

The Speech from the
Throne in the Legislature,
January 24, announced that
the government would
sponsor a_ labour-manage-
ment conference ‘to deal
with the present disturbed
industrial relations.

Trade union officials have
now been approached by
the Department of Labour
to act on a planning com

ate agency. No ex-parte in-

@ The principle of com-
pulsory conciliation and pro-
hibition of strike action until
after two-stage conciliation
should be re-examined and
modified to make bargaining
more realistic and expedite

Debate”

@ The present system of
bargaining units should be
changed to permit a genuine
industry-wide strike vote fol-
lowing industry - wide bar-
gaining. Provision should be
made in this regard for the
rights of those employed by
contractors and sub-contrac-
tors. The majority of those
voting, instead of all those in
the bargaining unit should be
the determining factor in rep-
resentation votes, as in other
provinces. Provision should
be made for blanket certifica-
tions.

@ The Act should more
clearly prevent employers
from terminating employment
for employees on a legal
strike.

@ Provision should be

‘made for the appointment of

a panel of competent medi-
ators, more readily available
for critical disputes. Provision
should be made .whereby
mediators would gain advant-
age of conciliation under-
taken by conciliation officers
who recommend no concilia-

tion boards.

@ The section of the Act
which enables the Minister to
by-pass a union’s negotiating
committee during a strike,
should be deleted.

President Moore announced
his intention to gain consid-
eration of these matters by
the B. C. Federation of
Labour and the joint liaison
committee.

Meanwhile, Premier Ben-
nett seems in the mood to
brush all such matters “under
the rug.” The part-time Min-
ister of Labour displays an
amazing readiness to agree
with the Premier on all
points.

A young Liberal whom
Liberal Leader Lester Pear-
son once described as “just
about the youngest and
most energetic candidate
the Liberals have fielded”
has resigned from the Lib-

eral party and joined the
New Democrats.

Vincent Kelly, 26, a law E
student at the University =

of Toronto and former
president of the U of T’s
Students’ Administrative
Council broke with the Lib-
erals over Pearson’s state-
ments on nuclear arms. He
said they “totally contradict
previous Liberal policy.”

The former Liberal can-
didate in Lanark added that
the new Liberal policy can-
not be “justified in either
political or military terms”.
The demand for nuclear
warheads for Canada “is an
affront to logic.’

workers affected should continue to have the edvantags’ of
benefits negotiated for them by their own Union rn f

interruption. The proposed dislocation of their union
by order of the company can only lead to grave dissatisfaction.

We are well aware of the company’s purpose. It intends
to shelve its responsibilities toward pa. Ba dew employees
and thereby reap greater profits. It intends to drive a wedge
between the two largest unions certified in its ind
complex before the proposed unity plans mature.

This corporation would welcome certification of both
unions in sawmill operations as well as in pulp mill operations.
If either union becomes involved in a strike, it would then
be in a position to maintain production of both lumber and

pulp in a way that would smash strike action by either union,
acting separately.

We contend, that, for the above reasons, union jurisdic-
tion in the new Harmac mill should remain with the TWA.”
