IWA Member Speaks Out;
— Union Leader Out ona Limb

Hl bees Sir:

v After reading the complac-
ent statemen* of Mr. MacKenzie,
finst vice-president of regional
council no. 1 of the IWA stating
that the union membership is

00 per cent for holding out for
ac with the coast, I can add
that te is so far out on a limb
that he couldn't catch a leaf as

he .

In Village of Slocan 1
can say that I know of not one
GOOD workman that is in favor
of this strike in the first place,
tet alone holding out for an im-
mediate 50 cents in one raise
that the union wants.

The blunder that the un-

We all like the big wages
and raises but where is it going
to end? The unions have got all
the paid holidays, benefits, etc.,
they can get so the only ‘thing
they can keep’ Joe Blow paying
dues in for:is a raise.

Well, if we were not the
most fortunate people in- the
world, with the tremendous na-
tural resources of timber, con
gas, oil,’ minerals of alt kinds
and the best wheat in the world}!
and the most of it, plus the tre-|
mendous Hydro potential as well
as the ones that are being de-
veloped. Thank God we have a
government in power that
foresight enough to develop the
present system: If the party that
supports athe unions had their

work, They are not loyal to the
outfit that pays thelr wages but|
‘are fanatically loyal to an outfit
that takes their money and tells
them what to do. It gives these
men a feeling of power,

One union member told me
the other: day that if I did not
do as the union saw fit they

While I am at ot I Fin take
a swing at unions in general. I
think they were very necessary
and did a lot of good for the
working man to start with, but
it's gotten to the time that they
are today destroying the incen-
tive of every good man to do
his best. Every dead beat is pro-

slows the good man down.

politely told there was not. I am

Mr, Mackenzie if we

had to compete in the world
trade with things that required|
‘countless hours of work, such
as radios, TVs, motorcycles and
a thousand other items. Even
the famous Winchester rifle is
made, or at least the parts are
made, abroad.
Another favorite saying of
the union, that is the good ones,
is the fact that they say “Well
you don’t like a union but you
like the wages we have gotten
for you.” Let me tell you some-
thing, brother. In 1952 I started
work in B.C. and it was not un-
ir 1961 that I-had ever worked
under the IWA and when I did
it was for Celgar as a millwright
for 2le¢ less than I had ever re-
ceived in the nine years previ-'
ous and as high as $1.83 less
than some jobs at the same
trade. Answer me that one.

By the way, that is no re-
flection ‘on the’ Celgar plant. I
am only stating facts.

In all honesty I will say that
I have met a’ few good union
