Outside Civic Workers

seek 31c¢ wage increase

An official letter from Vancouver Civic Employees’ Union, Local 28, outlining wage and. other demands of outside workers for 1951, was read by city council finance committee this week and referred to the conciliation committee, which conducts the yearly negotia-

tions.

In preparation for negotiations, ,

Local 28 has been conducting an “Operation Blitz” to unite all civic workers under one banner, and many former union members who revoked, their check-off under pres- sure and promises from the Carl Berg faction have now rejoined the legitimate union.

Photostatic copies of dues deduc- tion vouchers from city hall, dis- tributed to job stewards early this week, prove that Local 28 has the vast majority of outside workers in its ‘ranks, and blasts Berg’s claim that “from 500 to 900” workers joined his rump union.

Payroll deductions for October (before the split) amounted to $1,742.50. Deductions for Decem- ber were $1,426.25. This shows a drop of 273 members, but, as Lo- cal 28 points out, “this drop in- cludes winter lay-offs in construc- tion, and retiring men not re- placed by new employees.”

In addition, some 30 or 40 mem- bers are usually off sick or on com- pensation in winter months,

“At the most, Berg’s rump group have 150 members, compared with more than 1,200 in Local 28,” a union statement says. “The swing is back to us from the rump group, and from those who revoked their check-off but did not join the split- ters.”

Local 28’s bargaining committee for 1951 was named from the floor of the last membership meeting, and ‘consists of the following:

GREETINGS To All Our Friends Peace Must be Won in 1951

Sam, Ione, Mary, Brenda

and Kenneth English

Chief demand of the union is a 3l-cen: hourly pay hike.

T. Evans, S. Highfield, J. O’Neil, J. Arbuckle, C, Cruise, G. Keats, A. McDermid, N, McFarlane, A. Robinson, E. Smith, T. Thomsic, L. G. Brown, E. Lawrie, J. Bey- non, F. Bianco, A. Lawrie, B. Lane, W. McDonald, J. Findlay, J. Shaw, F. Burns, R. Bailey, W. Churchill, W. Whyte, P. Whittak- er, T. Hearfield, D. Guise, J. Phil- lips.

A meeting of the negotiating com- mittee elected the following sub-

committee to carry out direct ne- gotiations with the city:

T. Evans, J. Arbuckle, N. Mc- Farlane, E. Smith, E. Lawrie, B. Lane, W. McDonald, R. Bailey, D. Guise and J. Phillips.

At the union membership meet- ing, a motion was passed protest- ing the decertification of the Can- adian Seamen’s Union as bargaining agency for Branch Lines on the

Great Lakes.

The four key by the students ing the critical were:

principles endorsed as a means of eas- Far East situation

That the principle of the uni- versality of membership of the United Nations, as stated by the secretary-general, should be re-

| established, and the admittance of

the Peking government along with other de facto governments which can claim membership in fulfilment

| of the principles of Article 4 of the

Charter, should be effected in ac- cordance with that principle.

That the contention of the

* western powers that the Ko- rean crisis must be discussed sep- arately is demonstrably unrealistic and unsuitable as a basis for set- tlement; and must be abandoned therefore in favor of the proposal of the Peking government, spoken

ni That the principle should sim- | ultaneously be established that the economic program for the Far East, not a political or military (strategic). program, is the main duty of UN toward that area. This would bring the Technical Assist- ance Program into greater prom- inence as the solution, rather than Western political solutions, The economic policy of the Common- wealth Conference, laid down in 1949 at Colombo, would provide a

possible pattern to this;in particu- lar the key factor—domestic and | not foreign administration of assis- | tance. That the association of UN * policy with U.S. policy should be discontinued. In particular the responsibility of General MacArthur to the 'UN and not to the U.S. should be re-stated, and American policy (political and military) in Formosa and Japan should not be confused with UN efforts in Korea. Further- more, there should be reconsidera- tion of the apparently dual position held by General MacArthur as U.S. military governor in Japan, and UN field commander in Korea.

“War with the peoples of Asia is unthinkable, and unless the West takes a more compromising view in the United Nations, we are faced with that prospect,” the resolution concludes. “This is the reason why we should resolve ourselves, above all, to avoid this alternative by accepting the above four principles.”

The resolution also points out that UN must recognize the “movements of social revolution, of land reform and of national independence” which are sweeping Asia.

LPP calls for withdrawal of Canadian froops

Delegates from city and provin- cial LPP clubs attended a special one-day convention of the B.C- Yukon district of the Labor-Pro- gressive party here last Sunday.

The convention discussed the draft resolution issued recently by the LPP national executive, and elected delegates to attend the na- tional convention which opens in Toronto on January 25.

| At the opening of the special ,convention, delegates observed a minute’s silence in honoring the

memory of Kay Erickson, word of whose death a few hours earlier was received as the convention opened.

}

| The convention endorsed resolu- tions calling for withdrawal of Can- adian troops from Korea; demand- ing recognition of China and seat- ing of New China in the United Nations; opposing proposed in- creases in hospital insurance rates ‘and demanding better hospital faci- | lities; condemning conscription and | militarization of Canadian youth; |and supporting the program for | peace advanced by the Warsaw | World Peace Congress.
