f | Week 3: BANQUET | and DANCE for the Tribune Financial Drive legislation Peter Marcus, Vancouver, SATURDAY, writes: Dictatorship has many APRIL 22 masks. The Sc Bi Bea ' 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 * union shop. But there have to be «Supper 6:30 obligations placed upon workers Admission: $6 (adults) who benefit from a union. Speaker: What real freedom will the SEAN GRIFFIN workers have? Under such Editor, Pacific Tribune legislation employees will not have * : to join a union, of course. Under those circumstances one can bet that employers will not do workers any favors.

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.
