Courts Deny Union Appeal

Unions affiliated to the B.C. Federation of Labor were warned at the meeting of the Executive Board, Nov. 5, that refusal of the courts to hear an appeal against a decision of the Labor Relations Board, renders more dangerous the recent ar- bitrary decisions of the Board.

Application was made to the courts to set aside the decision of the Labor Relations Board in permitting the Teamsters’ Union (AFL) to successfully challenge the certification secured by the C.B. of R.E, at Schofield and

Malpass Co., Nanaimo, before the | p;

statutory ten months had elapsed.

No Voting

Counsel for the C.B. of R.E. ap- plied for a writ of mandamus, which was disallowed as not ap- plicable. At the same time, the judge expressed doubt that pro- posed alternative legal procedures would be allowed.

The plant had been organized by the CCL union with a union shop agreement, and an irrevoc- able check-off clause. Substan- tial wage increases had been se- cured for the members as well as other concessions. Pressure was exercised on behalf of the AF of L Union,

The Board granted certification to the AF of L Union without taking a vote of the employees concerned, and in spite of the union shop agreement.

Increased means and increased leisure are the two civilizers of man. —Disraeli.

RENT CONTROL RELAXATION CONDEMNED

_“* Sandy” Bevis, popular Pres- ident of the Vancouver Typo- graphical Union was given an ovation by delegates attending the Nov. 8 meeting of the Van- couver Labor Council, CCL, when he announced the settle- ment of the strike at the “Van- couver Daily Province”.

_The Council tendered the AFL Visitor a resolution of congratula- tions, and complimented his Union on the persistence and de- termination shown in a strike of three and one half years.

At the same time the Daily ‘rovince was removed from the “we do not patronize” list of CC- L Unions, and its press repre- sentatives were re-admitted to the deliberations of the Council.

By unanimous resolution, the Council delegates condemned the irresponsible action of the Federal Government in relax- ing rental controls. Speakers in support of the resolution em- phasized the point that in- creased rents would further de- press living standards for in- dustrial workers. :

Three members of a large vis- iting delegation from the strike Picket line of the Retail, Whole- sale and Department Store Union at the Army and Navy Depart-

ment Store, New Westminster, were received and cheered by the Council delegates.

President Pen Baskin assured the strikers that the trade unions ronal not permit defeat of the ) be
