Where have all the strikers

JASON KEENAN Sun staff

Looks might be a bit deceiving in Castlegar.

Passers-by might see an empty parking lot where picket lines used to be in front of the West Kootenay Power office on Columbia Avenue, but most of the work force is still off the job.

“The pickets go up and down intermittently, and not on a sched- ule,” said Paula Stromberg, com- munications director with the Office and Technical Employees’ Union. Since the beginning of last week, strikers have not been in front of the WKP, except for first thing in the moming. Part of that stems from numbers.

“There's only one OTEU member in Castlegar,” explained Stromberg. While picketing isn’t visible in. Castlegar, all the main WKP offices have regular pickets in front of them.

“There can be intermittent

Stromberg added that there are no guarantees that lines won't go up in Castlegar at any time

Workers from the OTEU and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers have been off the job since July 17, when the IBEW went out on strike. The OTEU refused to cross IBEW picket lines until the end of August, when the OTEU itself went Out on strike.

In the past two weeks, the cen- tral Interior power utility has moved forward on front while being stalled on the other.

A settlement was agreed to with IBEW, which was ratified by

members last week. Last Wednes- day morning, mediated talks between WKP and the OTEU broke down.

An OTEU press release dated Oct. 7 stated that “WKP refused to make the same monetary offer to the OTEU that they gave to the IBEW in the third year.”

Mike Bradshaw, the director of community and public affairs with the utility, said that’s not exactly the case.

“We offered the OTEU exactly the same [percentage] wage increase over three years that the IBEW accepted.”

The OTEU release, in a quote

attributed to OTEU President Ron Tuckwood, stated “WKP offered a settlement package that provides IBEW members with nearly one percent more compen- sation than was offered to the OTEU over the same period.” Bradshaw again disagreed.

“TI think Mr. Tuckwood has to clarify what that means.”

Bradshaw said that neither

SuperValu employees vote to strike

Employees at Castlegar's SuperValu store have voted large- ly in favour of taking labour action, after a strike vote was held last Wednesday.

Keith Kennedy, Business Rep- resentative for the Teamsters in Kelowna, said the dispute at the Castlegar SuperValu is an isolat-

“Our objective is to get the employer back to the bargaining table,” said Kennedy.

Kennedy would not comment on the number of employees in favour of striking.

ed one, and that the ploy have been without a contract since July 1991.

“In negotiations we have pro- posed another three-year agree- ment with a four-per-cent incréase in wages each year,” said Kennedy.

Currently, the top wage at SuperValu is $14 per hour, while starting salary is $8.50 per hour.

Besides wages, Kennedy said another outstanding issue is lan- guage in the collective agree- ment. Kennedy said i

Video disc players, which are the size of a video cassette recorder and cost about $1,000, will play a disc roughly the same size as a record album, but made from the same material as audio compact discs.

There are an ever-increasing number of disks to chose from, with the main educational discs available from Smithsonian, National Geographic, Videodis- covery and Imax.

The technology has been around for a while, but now sys- tems can access individual frames and jump from one to another.

Santori, Trail residents can gaze affectionately upon Castlegar’s flag for one week, starting today.

Castlegar stomped Trail by col- lecting 377 units of blood to Trail’s Wednesday total of 302. The Red Cross far surpassed their Castlegar goal of 350 units of blood by 27.units. There were 441 people who attended the clinic. In Trail on Tuesday, 300 people attended the clinic, with a total of 268 units of blood collected. Trail also collected 302 units of blood on Wednesday, with 354 people attending.

Anne Robertson, Public Rela- tions Chair-person for the blood donor clinic said, “The clinic was a great success, we're very happy with the number of people that came out. The SHSS grad class

Patricia Marshall-Thompson, the Red Cross Community Devel- opment and Volunteer Resources Coordinator said, “I'm very, very pleased that Castlegar had such a good turnout. The response in the community was terrific. BC Tel should be thanked also, they put up the banner.”

Trail Mayor, Sandy Santori had a personal message for Castlegar’s Mayor, Audrey Moore. He said, “Don't fool around with the home of the champions.” Moore responded by saying, "I am going to bring the flag in personally, and I want Trail to fly it with great pride,”

This is the first year that there has been a blood donor competi- tion between Castlegar and Trail, but you can be assured that this won't be the only year that Trail will be flying Castlegar’s flag
