-wide negotiations between Inside and outsidy municipal
employees and, 1g uwnicipal employers, including North

month as employers apply for essential services designa-
tions, sald Hoc2var.

Talks adjourned eurty Saturday morning,

There are about 800 Locat 389 workers in) North
Vancouver.

A GVRD press release stated the principal issues are a
union demand for wage increases of 6.5% over the term
of a three-year agreement and employer proposals for a
process to effect chunges to hours of work during the term
of the agreements,

North Vancouver and other municipalities are propos-
ing that if an agreement with the union locals is not possi-
ble on the issue of hours, a neutral umpire would evaluate

of fishermen and destroyed their
livelihoods: in the fate 1980s. The
Howe Sound fishery had been esti-
mated to be a $900,000-a-yeur indus-
try before being shut down,

Meanwhile, fisheries said the arva
¢losed to commercial crab. fishing
araind Howe Sound has been
extended to the southwest, and west-
em Howe Sound is still closed to all
crab fishing.

Most closure extensions have
arisen due to new sampling in areas
not tested previously rather than
increased dioxin levels, said fish-
tries.

In areus where non-commercial
crab harvesting is allowed, a maxi-
mum of 40 grams a week of crab
hypatopancreas, a digestive gland
that tends to concentrate contami-
nants, should be consumed.

Fisheries’ Sammis said commer-
cial crab fishing bans remain in
Howe Sound to protect consumers
who do not know about the limit on
hepatopancreas consumption and to
“maintain Canada's good name” as a
fish exporter.

Reopenings are assessed on a
species and urea-specific basis so
crabs may remain closed while
prawn and shrimp. fishing bans are
lifted. -

Howe Sound shrimp fisheries
have already reopened but prawn
fishermen will have to wait, said fish-
eries Nanaimo-based biologist Jim
Morrison.

He said commercial prawn har-
vesting normally opens in April -in
British Columbia, but Howe Sound
will be managed as a “special study

area” to monitor the impact of har-
vesting rates on stocks.

Currently, the opening date for
the Howe Sound prawn harvest has
not been determined, but it will like-
ly be between April 1! and Sepi..1,
Morrison said. He said 78,000 prawn
traps are pulling the crustaceans out.
