Despite the deaths and the wounding of 19 people, the national assembly's 63-year-old sergeant-at-arms, Rene Jal- bert, emerged as a hero credited with saving the lives of other legislature employees as he calmed the gunman and persuaded him to surrender to police. “Tm sure Mr. Jalbert saved the lives of many people who were at the mercy of the gunman because he stopped shooting shortly after Jalbert stepped in,” said Johanne Tanguay,.@ national assembly camerawoman who was operating a remote-controlled television ‘camera .in the chamber when the gunman burst in with his submachine-gun blazing.

No politicians were among the injured. Levesque was in Montreal at the time. in Quebec and Canada “The Parti Quebecois wants to have one language in Quebec. For what reason? They want to confine us to Quebec,” he said, speaking softy in French. “I could have attacked something more important, like the Liberal party in Ottawa,” he added. “This is a very important point for me because my language is in Quebec and I don’t want anyone or anything to destroy it. “No one will be able to stop me, not the police, not the army, because I am going to carry out this destruction, and then I will destroy myself. It will be a first in Canada.” Leaving the radio station in a cream-colored rental car with Ontario licence plates, Lortie drove first to the Quebec Citadel, a 19th-century fortress where he fired a burst from his submachine-gun.

Seven CosNewsPhoto by Phil Colderbonk Labor code changes in VICTORIA (CP) — The British Columbia government brought down its long-promised changes to the labor code Tuesday — and, as expected, the province's union leaders are up in arms about what they are calling anti-labor legislation. The Social Credit government prop- oses to tighten up its labor legislation on all fronts, with amendments that will put more restrictions on secondary picketing, make it easier to decertify a union, prohibit political walkouts and which include a special section that can be used to open the Expo 86 site to both union and non-union construction companies. Art Kube, president of the B.C. Fed- eration of Labor, said the legislation does not bode well for workers’ rights. “This province needs labor peace,” Kube told reporters. “This document is not a charter for labor peace.” Jack Gerow, spokesman for the Hospital Employees’ Union, said it is time for Operation Solidarity, the coalition of labor, church and com: munity service groups that banded to- gether last year to fight other Socred legislation, to regroup. “If we don’t do it, there will be no trade union movement left,” he said. leaders went to Victoria for the intro- duction of the bill. Colin Gabelmann, New Democratic Party labor critic, said: “I don’t under- stand why they're determined to bring in legislation like this which is clearly aimed at kieking the trade union move- ment again.” Labor Minister Bob McClelland, who introduced the legislation when Pre- mier Bill Bennett was away from the legislature at the western premiers’ conference, said the amendments are a necessary element of the government's ongoing plan to provide a solid found- ation for economic recovery. But he would not guarantee that the amendments will reduce the number of work days lost to strikes in British Columbia. “I believe that this will bring some stability and I hope as a result of that there may be fewer strikes,” said McClelland. “But I think fewer strikes come from a better relationship between manage- ment and labor themselves. I don't know that you can legislate that.” Jim Matkin, chairman of the B.C. Employees’ Council — a body that has been lobbying for the labor code to be GOV'T DETE The provincial government is clearly “hell bent” on de-unionization, said Gerow, who with several other labor hened, said the is a step in the right direction. Matkin urged organized labor to give it a chance. “The legislation has to be inter- preted by the labor board and the board has an important part in making it fair. And there's the right of passing regulations to smooth out any deficien- cies in the legislation so I think it’s too early to make a snap judgement that it’s bad. In our view it looks good.” The bill: © removes the power of a union to strike unilaterally without consulting its membership; prohibits political walkouts unless the union is in a legal position to strike; e reinforces the right of union mem- bers to dissent from illegal action ordered by their union without fear of discipline; e and prevents secondary picketing unless consent has been obtained from the Labor Relations Board. ‘The bill also requires that employees be allowed to vote by secret ballot on whether they wish union representa. tion before a certification vote can be held. Currently employees indicate their desire—te_organize a union by signing a petition-like document. If a majority of workers sign up then the labor board holds a certification vote. The amendments also give cabinet the authority to declare certain econ. omic development projects open to union and non-union workers — a measure McClelland said he intends to use immediately at the Expo 86 site.

Voters in the two Mid. western industrial states fa vored the Colorado senator in primary nominating elections Tuesday, rebelling against advance forecasts that had awarded them to Mondale, the former U.S. vice-presi- dent who claims the open support of organized labor there and elsewhere.
