' Sa i paign is one such mask. The ap-
ae nies pearance makes one think that the

campaign will enhance our
Se Keary Street freedom by giving people the
ew Westminster “right” not to join a union in a

«Supper 6:30 obligations placed upon workers
Admission: $6 (adults) who benefit from a union.

Speaker: What real freedom will the

those circumstances one can bet
that employers will not do workers
any favors.

Thank You for $10,294

*As we move into the end of week three in our financial
drive, the tally has risen to the happy sum of $10,294.

Drive manager Pat O’Connor reports that the total was
sted last week with money from Surrey — now past the
$1,000 mark — Burnaby, Mission and North Vancouver. ~

A number of people have asked how they can contribute to
Making our drive a success. It’s simple — send us a

Or more for the drive. If your become a press builder we’ll
Send you a Tribune pen to mark the occasion. Then there
are the Honor Press Builders — those who raise $150 or
More for the drive. To each of them goes a pen and a special

ibune diary and calendar for 1979. Finally, there are the
Teal leaders of our drive — the members of the 400 Club,

Ose who bring in $400 or more.

Of course, every donation, no matter how small is
Welcome and appreciated. We are a labor paper supported
€ntirely by you, our readers.

We need $54,000 to fight for you; help us go over'the:top.

TRIBUNE
DRIVE

Sweatshop |

The wages will be low, the sweat
shops will return and many of the
benefits such as dental plans and
pensions that unions have fought
hard for will be dispensed with.

Where in a non-union shop or
right-to-work state could a worker
file a grievance and have it ef-
fectively dealt with? Nowhere!
The proponents of right-to-work
legislation are, in effect, tools of
the employers.

Corporations promoting right-to-
work in this country often make
massive profits in Latin America,
Africa and Asia where military
and fascist dictatorships, which
these employers support, keep
wages at the poverty level. That’s
what they would like to do here.

Where is the freedom, the
democracy, the human rights they
are so ready to defend in the unions
when they discard the same
principles elsewhere?

The issues of freedom,
democracy and human rights
interfere with their main aim
which is to maximize profits.
Profiteering is the reason they are
promoting right-to-work
legislation. The campaign masks
their true intentions.

‘Justice’ —
Holt-style —

Glyn Thomas, chairman, Cedar
Cottage-Kensington COPE com-

mittee, writes: On Saturday, April.

15a “‘new”’ concept was introduced
to the parents in the Cedar Cottage-
Kensington area, to approximately
50 parents. Four workshops were
held to explain:

e Juvenile accountability panel
composition;

e Police involvement;

e Juvenile containment;

e Probation.

The fifth panel — Native peoples
accountability program — was not
held nor did any Native people
attend. Perhaps they are on to the
establishment’s game better than
those of us who attended.

The term accountability was ex-
plained by deputy chief Oliver to
mean that young offenders need to

‘be accountable to their neighbors

for their crimes.
The desire of the workshop

leaders was to form parents’
justice — accountability panels to
hear and try young offenders as
their fellow neighbors would in an
effort to bring the juvenile into
line, as it were. :

The real meaning of the ex-
tensively organized workshop was
given by Liberal MP Simma Holt
who opened the session.

I cannot let her remarks pass un-
answered — since they shocked me
— coming from a person who rep-
resents me and my children in
Parliament. Here are the verbatim
quotes I wrote down during the
meeting. To quote Simma Holt:

“‘We have long treated children,
as children. They have not ex-
perienced pain. The old Juvenile
Act treats the juvenile as a child —
not as an adult. ;

“The new legislation proposed will
provide the same consequences for
behavior of children over 12 as that
for adults.”

The thoughts on this proposed
legislation are in a document of the
federal government entitled,
“Children in Conflict With the
Law.” No copies were available to
the panelists.

Who is going to be accountable to
whom?

Certainly not the federal govern-

_ ment which has done nothing to

tackle the major unemployment
problem facing every school
graduate.

Certainly not the provincial
government which has instead cut
back on such crime-preventing
agencies such as the Vancouver
Resources Board.

Weare now asked to sit in panels
and mete out judgment to our
neighbors’ children, when Simma
and Pierre write the rules to help
us create a more just society. Un-
fortunately no mention of preven-
tion programs for juveniles was
mentioned except in the context of

eye-for-an-eye type of ac-
countability. >
We in the Committee of Progres-

sive Electors feel that starting in
our own city with projects such as
light rapid transit would be a start
in creating jobs.

We need new concepts for
dealing with juvenile offenders. We
don’t need vigilantes set up to
divide neighbor against neighbor.

We need action for’ a better
future and a better quality of life.
