Labor Relations Board upheld Friday the right of Cominco Ltd. to prohibit unions from signing up mem- bers on company premises — a decision which could affect the current raid by the Can- adian Association of Indus- trial, Mechanical and Allied Workers at Cominco oper- ations. The Canadian union is try- ing to grab from the United Steelworkers of America the right to bargain for 6,000 Cominco employees in Trail and Kimberley in southeast- ern B.C. Cominco, faced with the certification war, has tightened up a section in its collective agreement which outlaws unions activity on company time or property. The giant resources com- pany has refused to allow distribution of leaflets or signing up of union members on company property. This policy, as the labor relations board notes in its decision, order to get its name on a ballot in a certification vote. The Canadian union ap- plied for an unfair labor dec- laration against Cominco but the board ruled in favor of Cominco because the policy.- had been applied equally to both unions. It also denied the associ- ation’s position that Com- inco's policy violates the labor code which prohibits trade union activity only during working hours. The association had been signing up members during lunch and coffee breaks — periods which, the union ar- gues, are not considered working hours. “It was one of the most outrageous decisions I've ever seen,” said association secretary-treasurer Jess Succamore. “Cominco tightened it up because it wil hurt us. The Steelworkers don't have to nen up anybody. Cominco is COMPLETE DISPERSAL Of Hadikin Brothers sawmill was made by Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers Thursday.
