SIGNS ORDERED OUT OF COUNCIL

CUPE demo fizzles |

A demonstration by about
35 striking North Vancouver
City employees never really
got off the ground at
Monday's City council
meeting.

The workers, members of
the Canadian Union of
Public Employees(CUPE),
attempted to display protest
signs during council's public
question period.

But when they began
unwrapping the banners,
Mayor Jack Loucks told

them to remove the signs.

“We will not procede until
you take those out of this
meeting,” he shouted above
the noise of rustling paper.

“They will not be left in
the council chambers,” he
added angrily.

After a few minutes of
hesitation a few of the
demonstrators removed the
signs, which read “Man Size
Wages for Women!”, “Keep
Our Benefits”, and similar
slogans.

Seabus picketing
declared illegal

Members of the Greater
Vancouver Regional District
Employees’ Union (GVR-
DEU) who jammed up the
bus loop at North Van-
couver's SeaBus_ terminal
twice on Wednesday last
week in support of their
strike have been told such
action is illegal.

The picketing occurred
the day after the ~union
bogan its strike to back the
same demands as_ their
CUPE counterparts. Bus
drivers refused to pass the
picket line, with the result
that buses piled up outside

the SeaBus loop and
passengers arriving from
Vancouver found them-

selves stranded at the ter-
minal.

The matter was taken to
the Labor Relations Board to
determine whether such
action was legal, with the
union agreeing to suspend
similar picketing until a
verdict was reached, which
eventually came Saturday.

Whereas the union
pointed out that the GVRD
receives the takings from bus
fare boxes, plans new routes,
controls the number of buses
in service and even the
amount of transit man-
power, the LRB declared
transit to be separate from
the GVRD.

The Canadian Union of
Public Employees (CUPE)
members left quietly a few
minutes tater when
ironically, council went into
in camera session to discuss
the strike.

Municipal workers
throughout the Lower
Mainland are on strike for
greater benefits and higher
pay. especially for female
employees, who are paid less
then men doing similar jobs,
CUPE says.
