GEORGE BENSON:

In Flight

Jazz guitarist, George
Beason, spent many years
with CTI records as a little
krown artist, and a well
revognized side man until his
change of record companies
and his Grammy-winning a!-
bum Beezin plopped him into
tke limelight.

Since that time, Benson
has been punching out rec-
ords like a giant sssembly
line, and although there can
be little doubt that the man is
an excellent musician, his
lilting guitar work is begin-
ning to run u bit thin,

In Flight was Bensun’s

Labor dispute settlement becoming —
focal point of conflict at Selkirk

By GEORGE GAMMON
+ STAFF WRITER
Legally-binding arbitra-
tion guidelines intended to al-
leviate labor problems have
become a major point of
contention between Selkirk

to make decisions before
some of the problems can be
examined properly.

Marilyn Strong, Canadi-

Local 1341 president, recent-
‘ly contended that there were
76 - violations of thé

. guidelines by- management.

According to Strong, two
major areas of concern by the
union ‘are job classification

4 and wage disparities at the

three-campus institution.
But Harold Kamikawaji,
‘the newly-appointed person-

+ nel manager at .Selkir, said,

last week that only 31
violations were presented hy,
the unfon at the last labor
management meeting.
“The? union felt they
have icentified many issues,

: put it depends on which side

you are on if you consider

Ss them issues. Of the 31, we

have worked on a number of
them.’’ Kamikawaji did not
feveal whether any of the 31
issues had been resolved.
Kamikawaji said that the
union is asking management

were by
both sides, but no agreement
could be reached. Strong has
been pressing for Hall to
assume the position, as she
said he was the only one who
could clear up problems con-
cerning the award he es-
tablished.

“Conflict is going to con:
tinue to exist until Hall comes
back and clarifies the exact
interpretation of each article
in the collective agreement,”’
she said.

According to acting bur-
sar Robert Horton, manage-
ment does not feel that Hall
should be the committee
chairman.

“In the award, Hall
states that it should be a local
person that act as chairperson

-of the committee. We want to

follow what Hall established
in his arbitration award,”
said Horton.

“We want to follow it
too,” Strong said, adding that
the union had now dete:-
mined there were 102 viola-
tions of Hall’s award. Strong
said the union felt that
individuals filling the position
of acting -personnel were
incapable of doing an ade-
quate job, because they-were
seldom available.

“If there is something
you want straightened out ot

with stud faculty and
anyone who had something to
discuss.

“Although they may be
acting in the postion, they are
still in that position, and are
doing the: job,” said Kam-
ikawaji. ‘We are trying to get
around this buriness of the
union coming out and saying
‘fix this,’ We are trying .to
establish a’ working system
with the union.” .

But Strong disagreed.

‘We ¢o. not see any
progress being made by act-
ing managerent,” she said.
“the next tabor-management
meeting is Nov. 14 and prob-
lems still exi-.c that were to be
on the agende it. a September
meeting, but they did not
appear on the: agenda.”

An extriordinary meet-
ing was called for Oct. 3, and
most of the « .obiems got.cn
the agenda here, but not.all
were discusse.i, said Strong.

She said ‘hat che union
did not fee! management
wanted to take action on what
the union'feh w -re viclation
of the award, many of which’
were brought :t. their atten-
tion in August.

“We sugge.ed to man-
agement on scverei occasions
that union anc management
take a look at there areas and
come up with int

of the clauses and a system to
explain them, tefcre these
areas became problems,’’
Strong said. . . :

“With most. of these
issues, management said this
is how we (manage.tent) -in-
terpret the collective ugree-
ment. This is how it will be
adm'nistered,”” said Strong.
She said she met with Horton,
and cach presented 1'cir in-

Gary Burns said the amount
of timber that could be logged
in the Valhalla area could be
made up by more efficient
logging practices elsewhere.

The. B.C. forest service
spokesmen told the boarJ that
although waste is a problem,
it has improved in recent
years. Better management on
a multiple use-basis would
help control the protlems,
they said,

Cuthbert said the forest
service ordered a five-year

moratorium, expiring May 1,.-

1980, on logging in the Val-
Kaila area to comple-
tion of a timber supply analy-
sis,

The analysis will not be
complete by the expiry date,
he said, and the moratorium
may be extended a further
year as a result. The forest
service’s position on use of
the Valhalla ‘area will not be
revealed until. -esults of the
analysis are examined, he
said, .

Cuthbert and Milner told
the board they would be in-
