PAGE 2, THE HERALD, Monday, October 24, 1977 - CUPE against CLC’s co-operation policy VANCOUVER (CP)—The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) today opened a national policy convention that could have a major impact on the future of relations between the federal government and or- ganized labor. CUPE, the country's largest union with 231,000 members, is scheduled to consider a strong statement against the Canadian Labor Congress (CLC) policy of co- operation with government and business in economic planning. . “It was a good try, but it isn't working to be friendly with the government and the employer,” Grace Hart man, CUPE president, said in an interview before the opening of the five-day convention. | “We should now go back to doing things our own way.” As an executive of the 2.3- million-member labor congress, Ms. Hartman participated in economic talks between government, business and labor. Union The labor leaders pushed for an immediate and total end to federal wage and rice controls, Finance Minister Jean Chretien announced in Ottawa last Thursday that controls will be phased out gradually, starting next April 14. GUIDE TIGHTENED But the basic wage guide will be tightened to six-per- cent for the remaining months of the program. “The meetings were a waste of time,” Ms. Hart- man said. ‘'They didn’t listen.” a4 In her written re oft to delegates, Ms. Hartman said public service. unions should join forces to: fight “the increasingly hostile attitudes displayed by the fedecul government as well as other levels of govern- ment.” On Friday, the British Columbia legislature passed essentia services legislation limiting the right of peincial government civi servants to strike in too big, say delegates VANCOUVER (CP) — Delegates to the annual convention of the Canadian Union of Public Employees will consider a complaint from Alberta that the 231,000-member union is concentrating too much on becoming Canada's largest labor group. Twelve hundrea delegates will attend the five-day convention. . A yreporl by union president Grace Hartman says the union’s growth rate is slowing but also estimates there are 50,000 unorganized public employees in the country, and organizing drives are under way. Delegates also will discuss the federal govern- ment’s wage and price controls, which Ms, Hart- man says has chopped about $30 million off union pay- cheques through rollbacks and lost appeals. The Saskatchewan division has a resolution opposing the union’s par- ticipation in a wage monitoring board, calling the proposal a complete sell- jut. The Sudbury, Ont., local Storm cuts power VANCOUVER (CP)— Several Fraser Valley communities were affected by power outages Saturda night, after high winds caused trees and branches to fall across power lines. Only the Point Grey area of the city lost power, but outages were reported in Surrey, Langley, Ab- botsford, Coquitlam and Cultus Lake. Power outages were also experienced in Pender Harbor and Powell River. northwest of here, Police said despite falling branches and occasional live wires lying across roads, no injuries were reported. * {4 you wish your Business will suggest a report be prepurea for tne next convention outlinil alternatives to strikes since many government em- loyees are being legislated back to work. Other locals will press for changes in the union strike fund, suggesting members get up to $50 a week, and that the waiting time for. benefits be lowered to 10 days from 15 days after job action begins. Ms. Hartman’s report also says the union has bought $250,-000 in bonds owned by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers which were not due to mature for sev- dral years. She says the money will be used to help. inside postal workers in ~ their disputes with the federal government. ' leave ani Unemployment is ex- ted to be a major con- vention topic because public employees across the country have been hit by cuts in provincial social services. “We will be calling for some government action to get the country back to work,” Ms. Hartman said in the interview. The 1,200 delegates to the CUPE policy convention also are scheduled to con- sider major policy statements on health and safety, paid educational retirement, PAID LEAVE WANTED One draft statement urges delegates to push govern- ments to make paid leave for trade union education a legal right. Paid educational leave for union training is common in Swedzn, Germany, France, Italy Australia and Belgiufh and it has been negotiated in a few Canadian industrial plants. Another draft position paper demands more health and safety protection for workers because ‘“‘on-the- job sakety and health in Canada is in an appalling state.” “Qccupational health and safety standards are a direct result of an economy which places primary emphasis on increasing production through keepin costs down,” the paper said. CUPE local leaders will be urgsd to set up com- mittees airned at helping members prepare for retirement. “The purpose of this program is to provide assistance on how to budget on a reduced income, in- formation on social services in the communily, rights under old age assistance plans, legal counselling and advice on recreational and social programs that retired people may enjoy.’’ CUPE members are. employees of municipalities, sch boards,. hospitals, libraries, | universities, hydro plants and other public bodies in all 10 provinces.
