Below are excerpts from his recent speech to a learned societies meeting in London, nt.) WILL THERE BE A SUD- den explosion in wage demands as wage and price controls are dismantled in Canada? Many observers, especially in the trade union movement, are saying: Don't worry, the downturn in the economy and the high rate of unemployment. will exert a sufficiently dam- pening effect on employee ex- pectations to more than’ make up for removal of the artificial restraints of the anti-inflation program. OTHERS ARE NOT SO confident. They believe that. workers are anxious to recap- ture wage gains that have been rolled back by the Anti-Infla- tion Board, and to recover a real wage position that has been eroded by the inflation rate of the past year. These observers are especially an- xious about the removal of controls in the public sector, which supposedly is not subject the ic discipline of the ‘or a peed which the parties knew was to be outside controls, AND THESE SETTLE- ments do tell a tale about the public sector. In several as- pects, the ferry workers and the hydro-electric workers are two of the most powerful employee unions. And yet these negotiatons fitted quite com- fortably within the bounds of our market model of free collec- tive bargaining. Certainly, this has helped engender a great deal of skepticism in British Columbia about the practical need for any special controls over public sector negotiations {notwithstanding the theoreti- cal argument being made vigor- ously by a number of econo- mists). Next, the prognosis I am making is about the immediate future. No one can guarantee that this degree of moderation will hold. It is quite unlikely to hold that long unless the rate of price inflation moderates soon. BUT IT WILL TAKE A key settlement to break the mould. The most likely candi- date in British Columbia is the contract in the truck- market. I believe that one can give a definite answer to that question as far as British Columbia is concerned. The removal of wage controls is not producing a sudden spurt in wage settlements, The reasons ing industry. That union feels a considerable sense of grievance about the Anti-Inflation Board disallowance of a claim of his- torical relationship, and the Teamsters usually have suf- ficient economic muscle to be able to do something about why tell us the their the t does not Process of wage di through collective bargaining— @ process through which back- ind expire until the end of 1978.

Two major oe *ments were i in Brit- ish Columbia remains heavily influenced by the key pattern- making agreements I have re- ferred to. I don't mean to tie is in British Columbia by one of the dis- tinctive features of our indus- trial relations system: its cen- tralized bargaining structures in which employer associations negotiate master agreements with the established trade union to cover that entire industrial sector, all of this being co-ordinated by powerful umbrella bodies on each side— the B.C, Federation of Labor and the Employers’ Council of .C.

WHAT KIND OF INFLU- ence was exerted by the pro- gram over collective bargaining in Canada? In retrospect, it is apparent that the rate of wage settlements had turned down as a result of natural market forces shortly before the pro- gram was initiated. But the vehicle of official guidelines considerably influ- enced that trend. It lowered the negotiating target—the con- tract zone—a little further and a little faster than the parties would likely have arrived at if left. to themselves. Moreover, the program shared the burden of this collective belt-tightening considerably more uniformly and more equitably. Why? Because the guidelines were legally enforceable against those significant segments of the world of collective bargain- ing which are largely immune from the discipline of market forces (and I do not single out the public sector for any tees me corses a pages 0 aren Came KOOTENAY LAKE FERRY SCHEDULE PACIFIC DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME The will be on the Kootenay Lake Ferry Tuesday, June 27, 1978, for the .summer season. 3 Leaves Loaves Balfour’ Vessel Kootenay Bay V.

These are the crucial settlements in both the private and public sectors in the province. The parties signed two-year agreements, these bargaining units ap- peardl to be subject to the guidelines, even for the second year of these settlements, Shortly afterward, the an- nouncement came from Ottawa that controls would be re moved, beginning April 14 this year. That meant that these second-year increases of about five per cent were not subject to the guidelines. Of course by that time the settlements were contained in binding collective agreements. BUT THE IMPORTANT fact is that once that pattern was set, it has held in British Columbia in subsequent bar- gaining—by parties who were aware that they were negotia- ting free of the guideline for that period in their proposed agreement. It held first with the ferry workers and, most recently, the steelworkers. I am confident that the con- struction industry, the fishing industry, and other key ne- gotiations in the near imme- diate future will all settle in the same ballpark, All in all, one ean now predict—indeed, one could pre- dict with a reasonable degree of assurance last winter—that there will be no wage bubble, no sudden explosion of de- mands in British Columbia by- reason of the lifting of wage controls, might be. made about that concrete experience?
