The labour ministry’s office here is back up to full strength,

There had been two industrial relations officers and one clerk until the early 1990s when one officer was trans- ferred out after the ministry said the workload here didn’t justify having two officers.

That lead to complaints which were compounded when

' the second officer left.

The labour ministry announced late last year that it. was

returning to the days of having two industrial relations of-

ficers here, Those two officers are now in place and they are being assisted by a clerk.

They cover the area from Kitimat north to the Yukon : ‘border and from the Queen Charlotte Islands east to out--

side of Smithers.
