The Hydroplane Regatta, a high drawing card for spectators along the Columbia River, sched- uled to take place during the upcoming Sunfest weekend in Castlegar, has been cancelled.

the pro-title series decided that the uncertainty of high water lev- els combined with the current labour situation involving Pulp, Paper and Woodworkers at the Celgar Pulp Mill, would likely not be resolved by the time race day arrived June 27.

Currently, all pit sites that were to be used at the race are under water, and cannot be guaranteed by B.C. Hydro.

More than 12,000 pulp and paper workers throughout the province are now walking picket lines after an 80-member joint- union bargaining caucus unani- mously rejected an industry offer Sunday afternoon.

A previous offer, which included pay raises of about 15 cents an hour the first year and 85 cents the following year, was changed on Sunday, to 30 cents the first year and then 70 cents the second

Construction workers returning to job site after IRC announces decision on new gate

pulp paper and woodworkers, when the union jumped the gun

Officials from the Celgar Modernization Project are hope- ful that more than 850 construc- tion workers from various unions will be returning to work this week.

Construction workers, well into the busy stages of modern- ization to the pulp mill, refused to cross picket lines set up by

on an impending strike last Wednesday.

Project Manager for the mod- ernization project, Rod Meares, said contractors went to the Industrial Relations Council (IRC) and were granted a request to allow one gate into the Celgar site open and free of pickets, since construction workers have no part in the dispute.

“The IRC rules that the (PPWC) pickets cannot legally interfere with construction work of the mill. The temporary gate which has been established also

Over 200 sawmill workers off the job

SHARLENE IMHOFF Sun Editor

Employees at the Pope & Tal- bot Sawmill in Castlegar have been back on the job for less than six weeks, and already they have been forced off the job due to the labour dispute next door.

Because the sawmilling opera- tion is tied directly to the Celgar Pulp Mill, it is reeling from the effects of the PPWC strike.

Bob Coutts, Castlegar sawmill manager, said that over 200 workers have received layoff notices. Currently, less than 60 employees are left on the site.

“The only things we are run-

As well, the IRC stated the PPWC would be required to con- tact other workers to inform them that the gate will not be picketed.

With the IRC decision made and the continued cooperation of PPWC's workers, the only prob- lem left is to ensure all construc- tion workers are made aware of the new gate.
