Transport Canada ‘surprised’ by proposal

By CasNews Staff

A Transport Canada official says he is ‘‘surprised”’ to hear flight service specialists are suggesting they could take over running the Castlegar Air- port from the control tower if the air traffic controllers are eliminated.

Peter Proulx, director general of

navigation systems in Ottawa, said Thursday he is unaware of the FSS

Proposal although ‘‘they have briefed some of our people.””

The flight service specialists, who are currently calling themselves “*flight safety specialists,’’ are part of the Canadian Association of Professional Radio Operators based in Ottawa. Proulx said the association recently held a convention in Quebec City and its members probably decided to promote their organization

Unemployment rate down in Castlegar

By CasNews Staff

The Castlegar unemployment rate fell by more than one percentage point in June while the Trail rate has risen by more than one per cent.

The unemployment rate in the Cen- tral Kootenay area, which includes Castlegar, Nelson, the Slocan Valley and Creston, was 11.2 per cent last month, Statistics Canada said. The rate stood at 12.7 per cent in May.

In Trail, which is part of the Kootenay-Boundary area that in- cludes Grand Forks, the unem- ployment rate was at 10.2 per cent in June, up from 9.6 per cent in May.

Central Kootenay, part of Statistics

Canada’s economic region 920 which includes Columbia-Shuswap, had 5,000 unemployed people in June out of a labor force of 43,000.

The Kootenay-Boundary area, part of economic region 930 which in- cludes the Central Okanagan, had 12,000 people unemployed in June out of a labor force of 119,000.

Castlegar’s unemployment rate has changed substantially from March when it stood at 8.3 per cent. The April rate was 12.5 per cent.

In Trail and Grand Forks, the Mar- ch unemployment figures stood at 11.3 per cent and then fell to 10.4 per cent in April

because many people are unfamiliar with their work.

The proposal, which the flight ser- vice specialists said would apply to any airport in Canada where the Possiblity exists for the traffic con- trollers to lose their jobs, is likely part of that promotion, Proulx said.

Members of the FSS planning committee held a news conference Tuesday in Castlegar to explain the functions of FSS personnel and “clear up some misconceptions and rumors’’ about the level of safety flight service specialists provide, FSS planning committee spokesman Charles Milner said.

Milner said the FSS organization wants to see the Castlegar tower maintained and FSS personnel could provide the service as well as traffic controllers.

Fears have been raised that the con- trol tower will be shut down following Transport Canada’s review of airport operations across the country, especially since the Castlegar con- trollers’ hours were cut back this week.

An FSS study has shown airports operated entirely by FSS personnel have safety records equal to that of airports operated by traffic con- trollers, FSS planning committee con- sultant Carl Denis said. Flight service

Steelworkers set to strike Monday

By CasNews Staff

The United Steelworkers of America will likely be on strike at Cominco 7 a.m. Monday, USWA Local 480 chief negotiator Ron Sch- midt said Friday.

Schmidt said the union bargaining committee had scheduled a caucus meeting Friday afternoon to discuss the status of the contract talks. The results of that meeting were not available before the Castlegar News went to press.

The union served strik: after Cominco officials refused to table a monetary offer Thursday because they wanted agreement on outstan- ding contract issues first, Schmidt said. A final meeting between the two sides Friday ‘‘didn’t materialize,’ he said.

The company proposed mediation Thursday but the union vetoed that idea because the two sides are too far apart, Schmidt said.

“We're miles apart and we'll just get beat up by the mediator,’’ he said. **He’ll do whatever he has to do to get a@ proposal.’’ That could include trying to force eath.side to back down from demands it considers important, Schmidt explained.

The bargaining committees were back at the table late Thursday after the union presented Cominco with a wage and benefit Proposal and the

Cominco is doing well financially right now due to a number of factors including the current price of lead and zinc and the expected increase in Production when the Red Dog mine ore from Alaska starts arriving in the near future, he said.

“*We're going for the bundle,’’ he said of the proposal.

Last week, the union locals voted 96 per cent in favor of strike action to back contract demands.

The strike vote was taken after the_. company tabled its first wage and benefit offer which the union

took time to to look it over, he said.

The proposal included a wage demand ‘‘that reflects the needs of the membership and reflects the ability of the company to pay,’’ Schmidt said.

rejected as unacceptable.

Cominco officials have said the company has a policy of not commen- ting on contract negotiations until they are concluded.

Nurses to continue’ rotating picket lines

By CasNews Staff

Central Kootenay community-care nurses will continue rotating strikes throughout the region until they receive word from the B.C. Nurses Union. head office in Vancouver to stop, a local union spokesman said fe a-call to return to the bargaining table Thursday by mediator Vince Ready.

Ready has invited the nurses and their employer, the provincial gover- nment, to return to negotiations but no date has been set for talks to begin again, Castlegar union steward Dorothy Salisbury said.

The two sides could begin talking again next week, said Ron Myers, the government’s personnel services negotiator.

“We're prepared to go back to the

table as we have been all along,”’ Myers told the Castlegar News on Friday.

Aaron Bushkowsky, com- munications officer with the nurses union in Vancouver, could not—be reached for comment on Ready’s proposal.

The nurses erected pickets in Grand Forks and Nelson on Friday and nur- ses from Castlegar, Nelson and possibly Trail will travel to Nakusp next Thursday to walk a picket line in that community, Salisbury said.

The Kootenay nurses provided in- formation on the strike to area residents outside the Trail and Castlegar health units Wednesday. The nurses are barred from erecting strike pickets at those two health units by an Industrial Relations Council ruling. Salisbury said the union also

asked the nurses not to erect an in- formation picket at either location.

The nurses union has an agreement with the B.C. Government Employees Union that BCGEU members wilt not have 10 cross. nurses’ picket lines_of any kind.

However, strike pickets were up in Nelson and Rossland on Thursday and nurses from distant communities such as Nakusp and Kaslo joined the Nelson picket line, Salisbury said.

Community-care nurses _represen- ted by the B.C. Nurses Union and the Union of Psychiatric Nurses are seeking wage parity with general (acute care) nurses in hospitals.

The province-wide walkout, which began two weeks ago, is intended to force the government back to the bargaining table with the two unions.

City hangs on to fees

By CasNews Staff

The City of Castlegar is still withholding payment of waste permit fees to the provincial government.

Mayor Audrey Moore said Friday the city has yet to hear from the Union of B.C. Municipalities which has asked Environment Minister John Reynolds to delay implementation of the fees to January 1991. The UBCM also asked Reynolds to extend the June 30 deadline for the payment of the fees.

Moore said the city won't pay the fees until it hears from the UBCM.

The provincial government an- nounced in its budget earlier this year it would impose the fees on municipal

effluent and air permits effective April 20. Money collected through the the fees is to be placed in the newly created sustainable environment fund where it will be used to fund ‘waste management initiatives,’’ the gover- nment said.

But UBCM executive director Richard Taylor, in a memo to municipalities, said the UBCM’s examination of the fee schedule tur- ned up ‘‘anomalies’’ which ‘‘impose hardships or inequities among municipalities and regional distric- ts."

Moore said, for example, that a “‘cap’’ on the fees means Vancouver would pay about $12,000 while

Castlegar’s bill for the year is about $2,000.

The mayor added that the city doesn’t know if the fees are based on the permitted amount of effluent — in Castlegar’s case, domestic sewage — the actual amount of effluent discharged or an estimated amount.

Taylor told the Castlegar News Friday that Reynolds has yet to reply to the UBCM’s requests.

He said the government gave municipalities less than 30 days to pay the fees.

“I don’t think it’s unreasonable to withhold the fees for the near term until everything is straightened out,”’ he said.
