Castlegar News June 18, 1986 BUSINESS Strike could relieve glut By ALLAN SWIFT The Canadian Press These are difficult times for the world Two men working independently of each other, Charles Martin Hall in ~ US. and Paul Louis Heroult in France, industry. New production lines are coming on stream in several countries, adding to a market that is already oversupplied ‘And low world oil prices are making plastic replacements for aluminum products more attractive. But upper-most in the minds of analysts is the labor situation in the American industry. Tough contract negotiations began May 12 between unions and companies representing 71 per cent of U.S. capacity and one-sixth of the total world’s output. The American industry, represented at the table by Alcoa and Reynolds Metals Co., says it needs major wage and benefit concessions from its employees But the unions are holding their ground. And one union official, Ernie LaBaff, president of the Aluminum, Brick and Glass Workers, is quoted as saying “There's a good chance there’ 's going to be a strike.” Ve expect that this summer is going to be a very turbulent period for labor. This will have a beneficial impact on prices,” said John Ing, with Maison Placements Canada in Toronto. HAS PROBLEM There is a basic problem with aluminum, discovered exactly 100 years ago in 1886: there is too much of it around. World production capacity will increase by 500,000 tonnes this year, and despite the metal's remarkable qualities, the market is not growing Large firms such as I-based Alcan A each from bauxite in “1888 process to extract aluminum Aluminum production grew rapidly around the Second World War, but a rapid increase in the number of smelters since then has meant an oversupply. Adding to the glut, a new $1.5-billion smelter built by Becancour Inc., controlled by Pechiney of France, has just come on stream and will reach its capacity of 230,000 tonnes by next year. Alcan spent $77 million on research and development in 1985 to find new uses for the metal. And the future may lie in transportation uses. One of Alcan's firms developed bonding and Welding techniques to allow car manufacturers to switch to aluminum from steel without major tooling changes. Passengers may walk to aircraft WINNIPEG (CP) — Pacific Western Airlines is consider. ing making passengers walk from terminals to aircraft as a cost-cutting measure, a Ltd., the world’s largest single ingot producer, have delayed expansions and cut jobs, while doing research to find new uses for the light, rust-proof metal. A strike could relieve the glut, but Terence Ortslan, metals analyst with Maison Placements in Montreal, said “Any strike has to last at least a month before it starts making a dent in world inventories because there was-so much strike-hedge buying.” Aluminum ingot prices on New York and London commodity exchanges are about 52-to-53 U.S. cents a pound They reached a high of 62 cents U.S. in February-March from a low of 44 cents U.S. late last year. 4 World inventories are down by 25 per cent from a year earlier, but are still high. Bank seeks depositors VANCOUVER (CP) — The BAnk of British Columbia will experience “slightly higher” loan losses this year and growth will be modest during the next 18 months as the bank concentrates on strengthening its deposit base, says bank president Dale Parker. The bank is currently borrowing $650 million from the Bank of Canada to shore up its deposit base, down from about $900 million it borrowed in March, Parker memo reveals. A telex to ground services employees from Steve Bul lock, PWA's director of plan ning and administration, states ways must be found to cut nine or 10 per cent from the airline's budget A revenue shortfall, esti mated as the worst in the company’s history, could hit $20 million, says the May 27 document obtained by the Winnipeg Free Press. PWA_ spokesman Jack Lawless confirmed from Cal gary that the company lost $4.6-million in the first quar. ter of 1986. He said no layoffs are planned beyond those an nounced in March, but con firmed the memo asked per sonnel to see if money could be saved by doing away with bridges and buses that board passengers. It also suggests cargo offices during times of the day Lawless added business generated by Expo has been cancelled by discount fares offered because of airline deregulation. closing slack OTTAWA (CP) — Cabin et's privatization committee will study a memorandum signed by Transport Minister Don Mazankowski that ree commends up to 40 per cent of Air Canada stock be sold to employees and the public, The Financial Post reports. Tom Van Dusen, press aide to Mazankowski, confirmed the committee is studying a document related to Air Canada privatization “Such a document or some- thing like it is before (the committee,” he said Tuesday. “But as to the contents, I can't talk about them — they're confidential.” Former industry minister Sinclair Stevens, an influ ential member of the privati zation committee, suggested in an interview before he re- signed that employees of the company be given a chance to purchase shares if the airline were privatized Executives of Air Canada have been pushing the gov. ernment to sell off at least part of the company for some time. They say the company needs an injection of cash to go ahead with plans to re vitalize its fleet. CONSIDERS PRICE The Financial Post says the first parcel of * shares could be in employees’ hands by late this year. Other in. vestors likely won't be able pate until 1987. 's ommittee studying privatization plan dum also proposes that im- plementation of the privati- zation plan be carried out by Air Canada, which has en gaged Wood Gundy Ltd. to assist in the work.
