Alberta unions
face tough times

By MARK LISAC
Canadian Press

EDMONTON — It's been a summer of rock-throwing,
injunctions, arrests and unemployment for thousands of
Alberta union members.

The militancy follows four years of tough economic
times that have seen thousands of workers move out of the
province in search of jobs.

Organized labor in Alberta has lost members and
suffered wage cuts.

The provincial Labor Department recently reported
there were 283,000 union members in Alberta at the start of
the year, compared with 307,000 in 1983. Wages for some
groups have been frozen and the construction trades have
seen wages fall about one-third in the last four years to
about $14 an hour or less.

Bargaining power has largely been knocked out

The nearly 50,000 members of the Alberta Union of
Provincial Employees cannot legally go on strike — the law
backs up the prohibition with fines which could kill the union

and its only resort is a system of arbitration which by law
takes into account government economic policy.

Industrial employees have found that 10-per-cent un
employment produces enough surplus labor to take away
their jobs when they go on strike.

Pacific Western Airlines won a four-month strike in
March. Its 1,850 machinists, flight attendants and baggage
handlers could not shut down the company. They settled for
a contract which allows PWA to hire more non-union part
timers and freezes wages for 500 flight attendants until
1988.

KEEPS GOING

The Suncor oil sands plant near Fort McMurray has
kept operating with non-union labor although its 1,000 union
employees have been on strike since May 1

The 1,080 strikers at the Gainers’ meat-packing plant in
Edmonton were earning as much as $13 an hour when they
walked out June 1, minutes before lockout would have
taken effect. They have been replaced by several hundred
non-union workers earning $8 an hour

Under pressure, the unions have become tougher and
more ingenious, as well as more aware of public relations.

The Gainers’ union, the United Food and Commercial
Workers, is fighting back with a national boycott of the
company's meat products and has recently decided to raise
union dues to $10 a week from $2 to help with strike pay for
Gainers’ pickets.

The pressure on organized labor fits into a long-term
pattern, said Paul Voisey, a historian at the University of
Alberta

Labor has made gains in timés of economic prosperity,
he said, but wages and working conditions fall back when the
economy weakens, as in the recession in 1982

Again we're seeing an attempt by labor unions to make

gains ina relatively depressed circumstance, and it's always
failed in the past,” Voisey said.
SHRINKS SIZE

The Alberta union movement has always been small and
now economic factors have ¢ut deeply into union ranks.

The province's construction industry has shrunk by
about half in the last four years. The construction workforce
has fallen from about 100,000 to about 67,000

There used to be 12,000 union carpenters in Alberta in
the early 1980s and now there are about 3,000.

Bill Marlowe, business manager for the Carpenters and
Joiners northern Alberta local, said about 400 of his 2,000
remaining members are working at any one time, and most
work for non-union companies, or non-union subsidiaries
created by unionized firms to bypass labor contracts.

But employers are also beginning to recognize that a
union contract brings along with it guarantees of stability
and skill, Marlowe said

forest industry, the president of the B.C. Forestry
Association said this week during a visit to Castlegar.

Bill Young, who was in town to address a meeting of
the local Kiwanis Club Tuesday, said B.C. has the most
productive forest sites in Canada and some of the most
productive in the world.

BILL YOUNG

But he added that now is no time to be complacent

“We have to spend more on reforestation,” Young
said in an interview with the Castlegar News. “It's the
strongest link in the chain.”

Young pointed out that the industry will plant some
200 million trees in the province in 1987, but added that
“we're doing poorly on brushing and weeding,” industry
practices that aid in the growth and development of
healthy trees.

He said the B.C. industry is a world leader in forest
genetics, particularly on the coast, and in the ecological
classification of forest types, “we're as good as anybody.”

It isn't all doom and gloom.”

. he said the p | gover
just three per cent of its budget on forestry.

“I don't think that’s enough,” he said, adding that the
provincial forest resource has helped pay for B.C.'s social
programs.

Young, 60, was born in North Bend, B.C., attended
high school in Vancouver and received a bachelor of
science degree in forestry from the University of British
Columbia.

He worked with the forest service for several years
and until June 1984 was the service's chief forester.

He has been with the BCFA since October 1984

The B.C. Forestry Association is a member of the
Canadian Forestry Association, a federation of auto-
nomous provincial associations across Canada who are
dedicated to promoting the wise use and management of
the country's forests.

The B.C. organization was formed in 1925.

The Edmonton Oilers don't like to be called losers,
nor are they fond of labels such as ex-champions.
They spent a long summer answering too many
questions about their loss to the Calgary Flames in the
Stanley Cup semifinals last spring. Each answer was

accompanied by the assurance the Oilers would return
this season.

“Losing to Calgary was on my mind every day,” said
Norris Trophy-winning defenceman Paul Coffey.

“But every day I'd look at our roster and I'd look at
myself in the mirror and tell myself I know we have the

best team and because we had . .. a week and a half of bad
luck doesn't mean we're not going to win the Stanley Cup

There's no doubt the Oilers have the talent and
desire to regain the championship they held for two
years. There is, however, the question of whether the
team has learned from defeat.

‘That won't be known until next spring's playoffs, but
now, with the season less than two weeks away, there are

Oilers' loss prompts questions

are. But look beyond that and the answer isn't so clear.

him?

How will Coffey perform after his highly
semi-successful chase of Bobby Orr's records?

Will Coffey and Wayne Gretzky respond positively

roster changes have added toughness, rather
than talent, in the form of Kevin McClelland and Marty
McSoriey.

The Oilers may talk about talent — assistant coach
John Muckler says this year's training camp is the most

talented he's been at — but they don't have an abundance
of it at the minor-league level. An injury to any key
player means problems.

‘That's partly because the team that was built
through the draft has not had one draft pick develop into

Finally, there's the reality that once a champion
becomes vulnerable, winning becomes more difficult.
Which brings up the biggest question — how will the
Oilers treat their defeat?
Their 1982 playoff loss to the Los Angeles Kings was
a fluke. Calgary's victory was well planned and well
deserved.

Hodge takes
new job
in radio

TORONTO (CP) — Dave Hodge will
still be seen on Hockey Night in Canada
this year, but the veterar broadcaster
has taken a new job in radio because
he's unsure about the future of hockey
telecasts

Hodge, based in Toronto since he
replaced Ward Cornell as Hockey
Night in Canada host in 1971, will be
sports director for Vancouver-area
radio station CKNW, but will return to
Toronto each weekend during the
hockey season to handle Saturday
night telecasts

However, he has given up his job as
host on Wednesday-night NHL games
televised by Hamilton station CHCH

Hodge believes televised hockey is
entering an era of change brought on
by more games, more teams, more TV
crews and more networks.

During my first 12 years, we had
the only hockey show around and I was
the only host.” he said. “Now you can
watch hockey every night of the week
if you have cable TV and a satellite
dish

There are a lot more jobs and
business is more fragmented. I think
I've lived through the peak for TV. I
don't think it will ever be the same

Even Hockey Night in Canada’s
future is not certain, he said

I can't say when it will happen, or
what will come in its place,” Hodge
said. “But I don‘ think anything is for
sure any more in this business. Hockey
on CBC on Saturday nights isn’t a sure
thing

32-3 VICTORY

Eskimos win over Lions

By GRANT KERR
Canadian Press

VANCOUVER Grey Harding scored his first
Canadian Football League touchdown Friday night and
didn’t waste time making a bold prediction on behalf of his
Edmonton Eskimo teammates.

“Defence won the Super Bow! for the Chicago Bears and
our defence will take us to the Grey Cup,” Harding said after
the Edmonton defence forced nine turnovers and garnered
eight quarterback sacks in a 32-3 shellacking of the British
Columbia Lions.

It was Edmonton's first win under the dome at B.C.
Place Stadium in four years and came before a sellout throng
of 59.478, the largest CFL crowd of the season.

“I had the jitters in the first quarter,” said Harding, a
defensive back with National Football League experience
with the New Orleans Saints. “But our secondary coach (Don
Sutherin) had us so well prepared that we were ready for
anything B.C. threw at us.”

After getting beat badly twice in the opening quarter
by B.C. receiver Jim Sandusky. Harding picked off an errant
throw by Lion pivot Roy Dewalt in the second quarter and
raced 38 yards for a touchdown to give the Esks an 11-3 lead.

REMATCH SOON

The victory pushed the Eskimos, 8-3, to within two
points of the leading Lions, 9-3, in the Western Division
standings and the two teams meet again next Friday in
Edmonton, where the Esks also won 36-13 July 3.

“Qur defence was knocking the ball and people down all
over the place.” said Edmonton head coach Jack Parker.
“We hit them with some big plays and that was the
difference”

Kick-return specialist Henry Williams raced 74 yards

with a punt return for a touchdown in the third quarter and
quarterback Matt Dunigan fired 64 yards to wide receiver
Stephan Jones in the last quarter for the only offensive
major of the game

The Edmonton defence was led by the charge of end
Stewart Hill with three quarterback sacks and tackle James
Zachery with two. Middle linebacker Danny Bass had two of
the four Edmonton interceptions.

‘Our defence might look like it's boring.” said Bass, “but
we've done a great job with it this season

Tom Dixon, under pressure recently for his incon
sistency, kicked for the other 14 Edmonton points, including
three field goals in as many attempts.

Many of the Lions were embarrassed by the lack of a
productive offence, especially 16-year veteran centre Al
Wilson

“Our defence played Grey Cup football
“but the offence played Pop Warner.”

“Sure, we had only four days between games and
Edmonton had a two-week layoff, but that’s no excuse for
the way we blocked.”

The B.C. defence held Edmonton to eight first downs
and 114 net yards, with seven quarterbacks sacks, as
Dunigan completed only seven of 24 passes for 94 yards.

said Wilson,

Dewalt was forced to throw on the run by the fierce
Edmonton rush and completed 19 of 37 passes, with three
interceptions. B.C. had 11 first downs and 220 net yards.

Edmonton, undefeated in six games this year against
western teams, lost defensive back James Bell in the fourth
quarter with a possible neck injury after he tackled B.C
slotback Jan Carinci

Bell was taken from the field in an ambulance and
rushed to hospital for examination.

Raiders face 0-3 hole
after Giants game

By The Associated Press

It could almost be called Pete
Rozelle’s revenge against Al Davis — a
National Football League schedule that

as Davis's Los Angeles Raiders
staring at an 0-3 record after three
weeks.

Here's the plot: penalize Davis for
plaguing the league in court by starting
his team in Denver and Washington
then bring them home against the
Giants, hoping the cheers of trans
planted New Yorkers will negate the
home-field advantage

It's worked perfectly so far

A two-point loss to the Broncos and a
four-point loss to the Redskins has left
the Raiders 0-2 for the first time in 22
years. And now New York, which took
the ball away seven times last week
from the San Diego offence, is arguably
the league's best

It's probably the toughest starting
schedule we've had.
Flores, quarterback of that 0-2 team in
1964. “It's not that we're falling apart
it’s not that we're playing inadequate
ly. it’s just that we haven't had that
little something in the second half to
win

says*coach Tom

That little something is not going to
be easy to find, especially with starting
quarterback Marc Wilson out with a
separated right shoulder

After losing 31-28 in Dallas, the
Giants rebounded last week to beat the
Chargers 20-7, sputtering a bit on
offence, but holding San Diego to 41
rushing yards and intercepting Dan
Fouts five times.

Holding the Chargers to seven
points is almost unheard of.” says
Flores

New York's biggest problem was
putting the ball in the end zone. Joe
Morris ran the same play nine times
from within the San Diego 2 and was
stopped on eight. giving the Giants 10
points out of a situation where they
should have had 21

That can't
Raiders

But what happened to the Raiders in
their first two games can't happen

happen against’ the

either

We're going to win this week.”
Flores says. “We've got to win this
week
