Mediator Richard Longpre
has been asked to book out of
a contract dispute between
the United Steelworkers. of

‘America and Cominco. Ltd.,

in a move by the union to file
72-hour strike notice.
Under B.C. labor law, a

“union cannot file strike notice

until a mediator books out of
the -dispute. The union will

“not be in a Jegal position to

strike until Longpre reports
to the Minister‘of Labor and
the minister with the

ings earlier in the day.

Georgetti said if Cominco’
‘does not change its offer of a
two-year contract with no,
wage increase and a “min-
imal” cost-of-living increase,
the company's Trail and
Kimberly operations will
be on strike next week.

. “If that's Cominco’s bottom
line, then the strike is on,”
hes aid.

Pezim said-his plan is to
acquire four to five million
BCRIC shares or “about $20
million worth”. through his
companies and friends as the
base for a proxy fight at the
next annual general meeting
to oust the BCRIC: board.

B.C. superintendent of bro-
kers, Rupert Bullock, said he
has received a statement
from Pezim disclosing his in-
tentions.

“There is nothing wrong
with what he’s doing,” said
Bullock. “This is not a take-
over bid and he has disclosed
his: move.” But the move
caught BCRIC by surprise.

“What can I say? Everyone

10 Aug. 27, 1980 But Mike Rodgers said in an interview this week that
he hopes a new executive and the current trend toward
cooperation will pave the way for improved relations and

better communication on both sides,
“There was a feeling within the membership that it
was time for a quieter approach to board relations — I
had that:feeling and the entire new executive had that
feeling,” the new president said.
. And he insists that the new executive doesn’t have a
“monopoly on cooperation. In fact, he says the feeling of

rather than

widespread in society as a whole.

Says the.40-year-old father of three, “I don’t think
we're different, we're just getting in the trend.”

Rodgers, a Grade 7 and 8 teacher at Kinnaird Junior
Secondary School, : will take over July 1 from Bob
Cacchioni, who has headed the 150-member association
for the past year. |

A ding to. Rodgers, Cacchioni decided to
his name from the ballot prior to the annual
election for family reasons, But although Cacchioni will be
gone, he will not be, forgotten as Rodgers promises that
the new executive will continue to work towards the
goals that the former president set. ;

“Basically, we will carry on the work of Robert... to
provide leadership ,for, CDTA in a representative
fashion,” Rodgers sald. 7

More specifically, the CDTA executive will continue
to ensure that Castlegar teachers have wage parity with
teachers in other districts, Rodgers said. As well, the
executive will continue to work with tHe school board

more through the
this’ spring, he added.

So far, the CDTA has representation on three
committees and has recently helped the board choose a
new school superintendent to replace retiring John
Holden. .

Of the eight new officers elected during the CDTA’s
annual general meeting May 26, half are newcomers. The
others have been re-elected to new positions,

And Rodgers explained that despite the move
toward a more low-key approach to board relations, there
was no “wholesale cleanout” of the executive.

He pointed out that many of the so called newcomers

- — including himself — have represented individual
schools on the executive in previous years.

As the new president, Rodgers sees himself as .
leading the membership rather than running the show.
And he defined his role as one who "gauges the feeling of

‘the membership and abides by the feeling of the
membership.”
