VANCOUVER (CP) ~ Any labor problems that develop
_at the site of the 1984 world’s fair will be the fault of premier
Bill Bennett, the heattof the B.C. and Yukon Building Trades
Couneil said i
j Roy Gautier the comment after some 200
construction work: ‘walked off the job at the site of Expo

por

Vancouver.

Gautier said the walkout was the first move in. labor's
war against p 1 g di to the
Labor Code and warned that the work stoppages may
spread ‘throughout British Columbia.

The trades’ desire to see the fair proceed went
out the window when. the labor code changes were intro-
duced, said Gautier, adding that negotiations over the use of
non-union labor at the Expo site are over.

Labor Minister Bob McClelland said in Victoria that the
dispute at the Expo site was a private matter between the
workers and the management of the world’s fair.

McClelland said ft was up to the Labor Relations Board
to determine if the walkout is illegal. “If management wants
to appear before the labo rboard and ask for a ruling, they
have the opportunity to do that.”

The Labor Code amendments, given approval in
principle early Tuesday following an evening sitting of the
legislature, will allow the government to declare projects
such as Expo economic development projects and open to all

VICTORIA (CP) — A
licence for the, 20-year-old
Conmac Stages Ltd. bus
which crashed on Mount
Washington in January was
considered on the basis of
public need for a bus service,
a coroner’s inquest was told
Tuesday.

But Al Fitch, superinten-
dent of the provincial motor
carriers branch, said his
branch relied on Conmac to
do its own mechanical safety
inspections of its buses. The
branch enforces orders made
by the Motor Carrier Com-
mission.

A mechanical inspection

ill-fated bus, Fitch testified,
but added that he couldn't
say who did it, when it was
done, or what the results
were.

The inquest is looking into
the deaths of Adam Kerr, 17,
and Scott Branson, 16, who
died as a result of the Jan. 30
crash. The two were among a
group of Saanich high school
students who were returning
home from a day of skiing.

Fitch also told the inquest
jury that he could not recall
seeing the inspection report
referred to in the company's
initial application for a li-
cence for the bus in May
1980.

He said that as far as he
knew, no inspection reports
were submitted in annual
licence renewals, even when
conditions of the licence were

make it easier to certify or decertify a union local.

The Social Credit government, through Expo chairman
Jim Pattison, had been seeking assurances from the building
trades’ council that there will be no disruptions in site
construction and that union and non-union workers will be
permitted to work side-by-side.

The government is concerned that the building trades
will invoke a clause in their collective agreement which
permits council members to refuse to work alongside
non-union workers or those not affiliated with the building
trades courril.

Last month, Bennett announced after much agonizing
that the fair, which runs from May to October in 1986, would
proceed. But he warned that any disruptions to the building
and operation of the fair would not be tolerated and said the

an rights cod

VICTORIA (CP) — British Columbia's new human
rights eode, which came in with a roar, has been approved by
the provincial legislature after only a whimper of protest.

‘The first version of the new code, which is expected to
become law on Thursday, sparked massive uproars when it
was presented to the legislature last summer as part of a
flood of program-cutting legislation,

The outrage was so great-the government was forced to
let the legislation die on the order paper, promising to
— with community gropus before bringing in another

The new code is little changed from its predecessor. But
organizers of a recent protest here were only able to muster
715 people who melted away in the drizzle after a two-day
vigil, instead of the massive crowds that were hoped to stay
for four days.

Protests by four federal cabinet ministers, human
rights advocacy groups and the New Democratic Party
failed to sway the Social Credit government, which has used
its majority to get the bill through the legislature.

A last-ditch effort by the B.C. Human Rights Coalition
failed this week when Lt.-Gov. Bob Rogers said it would not
be appropriate for him to refuse Royal assent to legislation
passed by a clear majority of the legislature.

Opposition centred on the elimination of the catch-all

cause.” Human rights advocates said the clause was used by
a wide range of people not mentioned in the code,
such as homosexuals.

New Democrat labor critic Colin Gabelmann said there
are major omissions in the human rights act, and the way to
catch them is to have such a clause,

However, Labor Minister Bob McClelland said the
clause was dropped because it “cast too wide a net, and we
wanted to zero in more specifically on the areas in most need
of protection.” ee

He said more than 90 per cent of human rights com-
plaints deal with employment so “we wanted to make certain
that those areas were covered, and that the council and
people involvedwould spend most of thgir time dealing with
the area where there was the most abuse.”

The legislation officially eliminates the three-member
Human Rights Commission and the 19member human
rights braheh of the Labor Ministry, replacing them with a
five-member human rights council that will receive,
investigate and adjudicate disputes, and refer cases it
cannot solve to the Minister of Labor. The minister will then
either appoint someone to conduct the hearing or dismiss the
dispute. 1

OUTLAWED BY CODE

The new code outlaws discrimination in publication

including advertising, public facilities, purchase of property,

and associations on the basis of race, color,

rest i Place of origin, political belief, religion, marital

status, physical or mental disability or sex.

“Phere are a large number of groups of people who are
not named and therefore are not covered,” said Gabelmann.
Pregnant women, homosexuals and those who are not fluent
in English were cited as examples.

“You can even, under this new act, be discriminated on
the basis of source of income — if you're on welfare, you can
be denied rental accommodation because you are a welfare
recipient.”

He said the NDP was particularly concerned about
homosexuals, because if “what we're told is correct, we're
talking about 10 per cent of our society, we're talking about
a major element of our society that is not protected now, and
was before,”

‘The New Democrat said protests haye not been as vocal
as they were when the first bill was introduced because
people “feel beat up.”

But MeClelland defends the legislation, saying that only
those areas which the government felt were necessary were
spelled out in the code.

“We didn't think we needed that reasonable cause
clause.”

VANCOUVER (CP) — Pri-

Canada’s pharmacists and
their patients would lead to
patients receiving maximum
benefit from medications,
says the president of the
British Columbia College of
Pharmacists.

But Frank Archer added
during a panel discussion at

the annual convention of the
Canadian Pharmaceutical As.
sociation Tuesday that
people may not be willing to
pay for such a service when
they can go to a doctor for
consultation at no direct cost.

MOSCOW (REUTER) —
The Soviet Union, increasing-

introduce anti-alcohol lessons
in schools, even for seven

health minister said today.

Writing in the influential
weekly Literaturnaya Gazeta

(literary newspaper), Pyotr
Burgasev also said hospitals
across the Soviet Union
would set up treatment cen-
tres for under-age alcoholics
to combat the problem.
