clusion with 20,000 people like

said. “There was no mass-media

rigid hierarchy and enable deci-

Dyer. “This has already had an

The Castlegar Sun

Celgar employees confront Rita J.

SHARLENE IMHOFF
Sun Editor

Union workers at Castlegar's
Celgar Pulp mill made it quite
clear to Premier Rita Johnston
which party they would be sup-
Porting on October 17.

Johnston's visit to the Celgar
Pulp mill Jast Thursday was part
of her scheduled campaign tour
hroughout the West K y

However, due to her tight
schedule and resulting late arrival
at the Celgar Modemization pro-
ject, the tour was conducted after
4 p.m. when workers had already
left the job site.

This fact was noted by three
union employees who made ‘a
special point of walking up
from their work camp to ques-
tion Johnston about a statement
she had made earlier that day in
Surrey.

_ The workers claim that the
Premier stated that trade union
workers are slower workers
than non-union workers, How-
ever media officials travelling
along the campaign tour and
who were present in Surrey
when Johnston was speaking
say there has been a mix-up.
They (media) claim the premier
stated that an NDP job site
would be a slower site, not a
trade union job site as the Cel-
gar workers are suggesting.

“Well I'm definitely NDP, so
does that make me a slower
worker?” questioned Don Preece,
a member of the Iron Workers
union, Local 97,

The premier, who was getting
ready to enter into her tour bus,
responded by asking if his partic-
ular shift was finished.

“Why don't you come down to
the camp-and talk to the work-
ers?” continued Preece,

Bill McGiverin, also from the
Tron Workers union, said the pre-
mier owes the entire trade union
movement in B.C. an apology.

“She wants to drive down
working conditions and cause
conflict between the union and
non-union workers. It’s a bad
shot. that trade unions don’t need,
tight now,” he said.

Members of the Hasty Creck

with the road building and log-

place in their watershed area.

“There are some changes we

can Forest Products (SFP) have
indicated a willingness to talk*
about it, but that remains to be
