Labor Code, comes around. That would not be before October and could be as late as the fall of 1983 — depending on how the Labor Code is interpreted. _ “We're not going to go In Castlegar " provincial court Thursday John Brig- geman pleaded guilty to two charges, He was fined $500 or - 80 days for driving while * imapired and $300 or 30 days for obstructing a public offi- cer, * 8 -@ Ronald Schmidt was fined $400 or 80 days after plead- ing guilty to driving with a _ blood alcohol acount over .08. *. * .

An application can only be made in the seventh and eighth month of a union contract. In the case of the Cominco contract that. should mean the fail of 2088. But J ‘Stephen’ Kelleher aaid. ae board has never been asked to rule on whether an appli- cation that does not go to a vote — such as in this instance — constitutes a true application and requires a one-year wait before a new raid can be waged. The union is also consider- ing asking the B.C. Supreme Court to ovérturn the board's decision, Cameron said. . Although the: labor code reserves most interpreta- tions of labor law to the labor board, in some cases a union or company can appeal a board decision through the courts. Kelleher declined to comment. on whether this decision could-be appealed in © that way.
