More than 300,000 public sector families, targeted by the Vander Zalm administration, are waiting. And watching. F the Social Credit government has really changed since the departure of Bill Vander Zalm as Premier, Bill 82 (the so-called Compensation Fairness Act) will be repealed during this session of the Legislature. But if this law remains in force public-employee families will receive a clear message that a conscious decision has been made to continue the confronta- tion. Public sector wage increases are moderate Wage increase comparisons over the past ten years show that average public and private sector wage increases are almost identical (less than one percent difference). Obviously, public sector wage in- creases art stot out of line with the private sector. And that’s why Social Credit Labour Minister Jim Rabbitt and many of the prov- ince's leading economists say Bill 82's wage controls are unnecessary. Bill 82 should be repealed. Women workers are hit the hardest Half of all public employees are women. Many of these dedicated British Columbians work with the very old (in nursing homies), the very young (as child care workers) and with the sick (in hos- pitals) and earn low wages. In fact, many female public employees’ pay cheques are below the poverty line. The Compensation “Fairness” Act will lock them into their present low-paying job ghettos. That's outrageous. Bill 82 should be repealed. Bill 82 ignores the people you elected in November Asa result of Bill 82, the school board and the municipal council you elected last November cannot conclude a contract with your community's employees. One man, appointed by a disgraced former Premier, has been given dictatorial power to over- turn the decisions of the people you elected. What's more, this heavy-handed intrusion in local community labour rela- tions comes from a government that self- righteously proclaims its belief in a free marketplace. if the Social Credit government means what it says Bill 82 should be repealed. Bill 82 threatens the quality of public services Public employees across British Col- umbia are attempting to negotiate collective agreements without knowing what the Commissioner will consider “acceptable” to the government. This nerve-wracking situation leaves hundreds of thousands of B.C. families in a position of nervous apprehension. Meanwhile, worker morale continues to fall and public services suffer. Women workers wonder how much longer they must wait for pay equity. Important work- place health improvements are delayed. And employees focus their day-to-day con- cern on the uncertainty of their families’ pay cheques. The Compensation “Fairness” Act allows one man's whim to determine the future of more than 300,000 British Colum- bia families. Meanwhile, public employers are surrounded by confusion as they try to determine budget and spending priorities. Bill 82 is creating chaos in our public services. We are now seeing costly court battles over this undemocratic, unfair law. Bill 82 is unnecessary and unaccept- able. tt must be repealed. CANADIAN UNION OF PUBLIC EMPLOYEES S8ntish Columbia Division
