Dear Editor:
I believe both sides are wrong in

the way they have behaved over
the enacting of Bill 19. Is there no
other way of responding to this
issue other than through confron-
tation?

The voters knew the ‘‘style’’ of

democracy, we must accept the
majority who are making this bill
law.

As this bill unfolds, we will see

premier promises such as more

Balance-of-power
needed in B.C.

Dear Editor:

We usually equate the
“‘balance-of-power’’ cencept with
nations and foreign policy; howev-
er, in so far as it means ‘‘no power
should be strong enough to
dominate the majority,’’ I feel it is
applicable to our Labor-Manage-
ment Relations in B.C.

In the beginning management
was the “‘power’’ and we ail con-
cede they were tyrants and workers
were no better than slaves. We also
agree that unions were not only a
necessity, but the salvation of our
country.

Management did not want to
relinquish the power, but eventual-
ly, after much turmoil and strife,
unions prevailed, and as the
balance-of-power equalized,

_ everyone prospered.

Now the balance-of-power has
shifted to the unions side and they
have now become the tyrants,

wielding their ‘‘power to dominate
the majority.”

Despite a world-wide recession,
massive unemployment and the
possibility of this province going
down the drain, the unions do not
want to relinquish any of their
power.

I therefore see Bill 19 as a
necessity to once again equalize the
balance-of-power.

We may have to go through a
period of turmoil, but I believe we
will be able to attain and enjoy a
thriving economy if the scales are
balanced.

Equality neutralizes power and
when union, non-union and
Management realize that and start
working with each other to attain a
common goal, the government will
not have to be a referee and can
get on with the job it was elected
to do.

Is it not possible to bring in the

be afraid to make the changes that
will be needed — and once again
think of the whole country and
stop making it a political issue?
