Smith warned local Chamber of

Smith : continued,
British Columbia during the past
ten years has become a tre-

There ‘will be very few further

its fair, but the Carter. Com-|-

It would crucify, initiative and
would have a very seriqus stfect

Such a ‘setup would certainly
provide. no incentive for anyone

Paver said he is not desirous

of having the existing Protec-

Terrace flag girl
at issue in dispute

By RUTH HALLOCK 7

A Terrace girl waving a flag’ near Helis Bells creek
has sparked a major dispute: between, Ben Ginter's Argus
Construction and the B,C, Teamsters,

The girl ‘is. Tanne Smith, She's a flag girl who directs

the traffie when the big earth movers are at work onthe —

Paving of Highway 16 between Terrace and Hazelton,

Prince George tycoon Ginter claims that the Teamsters
want the girl fired -because she is ‘not a union member,

Teamsters counter that they are opposing use of other
non-union workers on the road paving job,

Whether because of’ Miss Smith or for more - ‘urgent
reasons, six men refused to work and walked off the job,

Ginter has countered with threat of a half-miliion dollar
damage suit against the union,

One of the six men continues to work -with Ginter’s
areus Construction but the other five are no longer em-
ploye

Whether they were fired or whether they quit, seems
an important issue in the dispute,

In a telephone interview Mth the Herald Monday, Ginter
sald, ‘How do you fire a man who refuses to work? They
weren't fired — they dust said they weren't golug to work
anymore,"

Teamsters lawyer, RE, Cocking, ‘fresh trom a two hour -
meeting with Ginter on Monday, told the Herald: "The flag
girl issue. was secondary, This was a matter of some sub-
stance, There were a large number of non-union members
on the job and this constituted a breach of the employers
agreement’ with Local 213 of tho’ Teamsters International.”

Cocking’ said his group deplores Ginter’s.- “attempts ‘to
hang the matter on one Hitle flag girl, s

ne hasn't gone about this in the spirit of the agrée-
ment,

The Teamsters solicitor: : said Monday's meeting was
“rather unsatisfactory”. -

Ben Ginter however did not sound discouraged, He in-
dicated he is not about to take orders.trom anyone,. .

“The Union officials, Joe. Whiteford (secretary-treas- .
urer) and Kenneth Scott (business manager) were Just. in
to ‘ice. for talks ether W. C) Wyer,
_ Mant to "know. if we'll’ take. tho men, back on this job, and

take them back when they refuse.to work,’’....
. > Ginter-' said:

"The Hippie’,

- "This type of ‘discrimination isn’t .new. against other
people. 1 think she has just as much right to work as anyone
else and [ don’t think we. should get rid ot her just because ©
_ the Union says so.*’ .

Asked whether he intends to proceed with a $500, 000
damage suit-Ginter said: ‘T certainly do intend to go ahend,
I ‘refused a one man. arbitration board this afternoon, I
wart a three man board and that’s what they'll have to pro-

le

The. Teamsters officials, contacted at the Inn of the North
“in Prince George, told the Herald they will agree to a three-.

' man arbitration board, “but i¢ remains to be seen whether
Mr, Ginter will live up to hia part of the agreement.” .

In the meantime, work at the Hells Bells site, near
Terrace, continues as scheduled according to Ginter.

“The only. difference is that we've now replaced all
our men with non-Union workers,. The sooner everyone,
regardless of who he is or. what -he is, gets anequal op- |

_ portunity to join these unions and work, then the better it

will be for all of us,’” he said,

As for the Terrace flag girl, caught in the midile, she's
reported to be still on the job,

The refusal of Teamsiers shop steward, Dave Chesney,
bus with the non-Union fag girl sparked

a‘ flurry of news coverage in Vancouver dally newspapers.

A close ‘friend of the girl told the Herald on Monday

the stories were “all hogwash’,

“She doesn’t use the crew bus to get to and from work _
anyway,” - }
