Gat Labor troubles The labor dispute that has shut down BC Timber's Celgar pulp and sawmill operations and that threatens to spread to the entire B.C. forest industry once. again points up the adversarial nature of labor-management relatians in this province. At issue is the Pulp, Paper and Woodworkers of Canada’s ban on overtime. The union has taken the stand that its members should not be forced to work overtime when so many other members are unemployed. BC Timber’s position is based on dollars and cents, It says’ re- hiring unemployed workers for overtime jobs. is uneconomic. And when a mill like the Watson Island pulp mill in Prince Rupert (the cen: tre of the ovestime controversy) is already losing money, every little bit helps. e Of course, BC Timber’s hard line position with Watson Island employees contrasts with its con- ciliatory stand earlier this year with PPWC members at the Celgar pulp mill. 5 The 325 employees at the local pulp mill served 72-hour strike notice over a similar overtime issue and BC Timber backed down. But then, that's the difference bet- ween.a money-losing operation like Watson Island, and Celgar—which is 8C Timber's flagship pulp mill. And that, too, is the reason why the Prince Rupert pickets appeared so quickly out- side the gates of the local mill. However, lost in the day-to- Generous offer Castlegar council's offer this week to pay 30 percent of the cost of the downtown revitalization: . plan is generous. After all, the city Isn't under any obligation to Pay, for, to the d day drama of the labor dispute Is its effect not only on Castlegar j but on the pi asa whole. : ¢ ,, lf the Pulp and Paper in-: dustrial Relations Bureau: goes ahead with its threatened lockout, that could effectively mean the closure of pulp and sawmill Operations everywhere in this Province. That devastating. A lengthy province-wide forestry shutdown would 4 c A still’ reeling from the recession.

It is ironic that in the same Issue of the Castlegar News that we carried the story on the pulp dispute, we also carried an article ona ‘speaker who outlined labor ~ relations in Japan. In ‘Japan, labor — and management have much more : respect for each other and work together to the mutual benefit of - both. Many thought the recession would force labor and management in Canada to seek each other's help in troubled times. : - The dispute ot the pulp mill simply illustrates how deep-rooted the problems in this country’s labor relations are. Even 11 per cent unemployment and staggering company losses can't bring labor and management together. Jinainis and walk for visitors and residents .would be a welcome addition. And. that is. what the ‘revitalization program is all ebout— improved Suality of life, s ill literall core. In fact, we wonder just how many taxpayers, given the chance, would agree to picking up one- third of the cost of a project that will benefit private businesses the most. i We hope taxpayers aren't that. short-sighted.

She remarked proudly, to no one in particular, “Everyone's out of step but my Johnny.” Last night, at a meeting, this Johnny appeared to create the idea in the minds of his fellow members that he was actually in favor of nuclear war, nuclear energy, and even radioactive waste. It is quite Popular in this peace-loving valley to align oneself with nuclear disarm- ament, anti-cruise missile testing and absolutely oppose war, whether it be a nuclear holocaust of just itsy-bitsy automatic weapons com- monly carried by warmakers in sunny countries to the south. Some people feel so strongly about peace that they are willing to -die for it, Some have even felt moved to kill for peace. We need but move the needle a degree or two and we have the basic reasons for wars. Most people want peace on their. own terms. If they don't get it, then by golly they will fight for it.

They suffer from an elusive sort of class consciousness. They, and “mama's marching boy”, share an important idea, we are rattling our chains and sometimes worrying the status quo.
