However, the provin- cial government never even hinted at the equally strong need to restrain excessive wage increases (over 12 percent or more) over the cost of living Increase. ‘Thus, smaller rental pro- perty owners have fallen .be- hind in their pay for: con- siderable amount of-labor to maintain their properties; and a reasonable return on’ their investment, (The big real es- tate compantes quit building and moved their funds and part of their operations to. the U.S.A, and Alberta.) ‘Unemployment costs have been too high. The high percen- tage of the regular pay. re- turned to the claiment, the ease of obtaining benefits after too short'a waiting period, the disregard of the total family income in awarding benefits all contribute to: 1) Lack of incentive to stay ‘on the job or try to find a job quickly; 2) Maneuvering to receive maximum benefits: with the least amount of work; ‘ 9) Earn $10,000 to $12,000 dollars ‘on a construction job with overtime involved over four or five’ months and then retire on UIC for the balance of the year, even though that person ‘earned enough to lve on for that year. - It ia difficult to understand how the outside post office workers can collect UIC while sawmill employees’ did not qualify who also were out of work, because thelr company's pulpmill unton did not supply essential services to run len! sawmill.” Neither the. sawmill, em- ployees nor the outside post office. workers should be en- titled to UIC benefits, since both are directly involved In a strike or labor dispute.
