its policy banning the con-
struction of ‘hydroelectric

wrong if exports benefit con-
sumers, a B.C, Utilities Com-
mission member said Tues-

jay.

Frank Walden, a member
of the three-man panel hear-
ing the Crown corporation's
application for a rate in-
crease, made the comment
after questioning if Hydro
recognized the benefits of
long-term exports.

Hydro vice-president John
Sheehan said the corporation
had adhered to provincial
government policy, as reaf-
firmed by Energy Minister
Bob McClelland during a re-
cent Site C dam hearing, that
Hydro should not intention-
ally plan to produce a surplus
of electricity for export.

However, the utility last
year earned about $250 mil-
lion in U.S. revenue from
surplus power sales, provid-
ing a buffer against inflation,
he said.

“If long-term contracts are
entered into, there is a mar-
ket in the: U.S, to take ad-
vantage of,” said Sheehan,
“There would be quite an
economic advantage to build
to service that U.S. market."

Sheeham said Hydro could

have more energy available.

dam project curréntly under-
way comes on stream as
scheduled.

But he said Hydro does not

that would allow it to make

Threatens legal
action over cuts:

VANCOUVER (CP) — The union representing about ‘30,
employees at. a North Vancouver auto dealership has
threatened ‘legal action if the company imposes an
11-per-cent wage cut on its members even though the

, employees voted in favor of the reduction.

Members of Local 14 of the Canadian Association of

‘Industrial, Mechanical and Allied Workers employed at

Lions Gate Plymouth Chrysler voted 22-2 last. week to

‘ accept the cut in a bid to save their jobs.

The vote took place in the company's bodyshop, without

-a union representative present.

“The company is obligated under our collective
agreement to pay the wage rates in the agreement,” union
spokesman Peter Cameron said this week. “If they move to
change the rates, we will likely. be grieving the matter
before the labor relations board.

“The procedure that has gone on is totally outside the
collective agreement.”

‘The union shop d the vote,-claiming
the union denied members a chance to vote on the company

* proposal at a union meeting earlier this month.

..The \11-per-cent cut would reduce the service de-
partment rate to $12 an hour.from the $13.48 called for
under the previous agreement.

reduction would help the company consolidate its position,
reduce, losses, save jobs and prevent the feslersiip from
closing down...
