From CLRA of B.C.

Company refused de-accreditation

TERRACE — H& H
Builders of Terrace want
out of the Construction
Labor Relations Asso-
ciation (CLRA) of B.C.
but their application for
de-accreditation has
been refused by the
Labor Relations Board.

’ The CLRA is a bar-
gaining unit which
represents employers in
union negotiations and
jurisdictional disputes.

Dennis Palmu, project
manager and estimator
for H & H Builders said
it costs H & H Builders
about $250 a year to

belong to the CLRA. H
& H Builders have been a
member of the bargain-

ing unit since the late

1970s but Palmu said

company representatives
have not been satisfied
with the way the CLRA
has handled the bargain-
ing for the last six years.
“We'd rather do the
bargaining on our own,”
Palmu said. Why pay
them when we don’t like
the way they are handl-
ing negotiations? he add-

Getting de-accredited
from. the CLRA is simi-
lar to- proceedings re-
quired when a. member
requests decertification
from a union. We want
to get out of our bargain-
ing association, Palmu

said.

-H & H Builders sub-
mitted an application for
de-accreditation six
months ago. The request
was turned down, They
appealed the decision
and received a letter at
the end of September
from the LRB of B.C.
indicating the request
had been denied.

The LRB has the
authority to apply the
labor law, Palmu_ ex-
plained. According to
the LRB’s interpreta-
tion, H & H Builders
didn’t have sufficient
reasons to be de-ac-
credited, Palmu said.

Now representatives at
H & H Builders are
reassessing their position
and options. Palmu said
the company can make
their concerns known to
the Minister of Labor for
B.C. and other members
of government, file a
complaint with the om-
budsman or voice their
opinions through the
media.

_ Palmu said he suspects
the: LRB ‘is reluctant to
let H & H Builders out of
the bargaining unit as it
may set a precedent for
the other 600 or so
members of the associa-
tion.

Metabolic Regulation

Research into metabolic regu-
lation, the process by which the
body converts food into energy,
may provide clues to disease pre-
vention and treatment,

**A lot of diseases manifest
themselves by metabolic disregu-

. lation,'’ said James Brainard of
Los Alamos National Labora-
tory.

‘*For example, cancer cells
have very different metabolic
regulation than normal cells. The
metabolism in the heart during a
heart attack is different from
whenitishealthy.””
