The Employers’ ‘Council of
B.C. says that in. the 12-
month period ending Jan. 81,
1981, wage, increases nego-
tiated in the first year of new
collective agreements aver-
aged 16.6 per cent.

Tom Fawkes of the B.C.
Federation, of |Labor says
those figures might be a bit
on the high'side — “you al-
ways get conflicting figures
in things like this” — and
adds that if workers -are
keeping | pace “we've just
been banging on by our, fin»

gernails.”

But T'm not sure ‘the’ in-
flation rate. is the proper

indicator for a lot of working _

people,” the federation's com-

munications director said in.

an.interview.

“The wage increase that
was negotiated and. you ‘ac-
cepted may very well have
covered inflation, but did it
cover the cost of_renewing

your mortgage at a -signi-
Heantly higher interest rate?
That's the crunch.” .
AVERAGED $419 WEEKLY

And if workers are keeping
pace with inflation — as of
September, 1981, the ‘aver-
age weekly wage in B.C. was
$419 — the situation facing
the .province's two largest
unions is certainly an anom-.

national Woodworkers .of

wage increase of 15 per cent

Inflation and the worker

Between 1976 and 1980,
workers gained on inflation
by an average of three-quar-
ters of one per cent every
year, but that was dropped to
‘16 per cont since 1977.

Telling workers they are
generally keeping pace with
inflation doesn't wash, how-

‘ever, when one looks at how

costs are going up in 1982 and
the bite they will take « out of

prices?

“When we accepted eight -
per cent a year, nobody was
prodicting that, inflation
would reach 14.5.”

Dave Ferry, an economist
with the pro-labor “Trade
Union Research Bureau, says
that while B.C. workers’
ability to generally '- stay
apace of inflation * is the
exception in ‘Canada, “that
comment has to be qualified.”

He says there has not been
any allowancé for' sharing in
any growth in the economy

when there was some in-
crease in “real wages.”

Corp. of B.C. wants 20 per,

clunker.

Last year’s rapid escala-
tion in property values in the
Vancouver area means muni-
cipal taxes will rise by-as
much as 25 per cent — and
homeowners wanting to re-
new mortgages are looking at
rates of about 18 per cent.
