Union files grievance
over docking discipline

THE B.C. Ferry and
Marine Workers’ Union has
filed a grievance over a
10-day suspension handed
the captain of the Howe
Sound Queen ferry, which
slammed into a Horseshoe
Bay dock last month, inju-
ring passengers and damag-
ing vehicles.

After investigating the Dec. 9
incident, the B.C. Ferry Corp.
(BCFC) suspended Capt. Al White
for 10 days.

BCFC spokesman Bill Bouchard
said that White was familiarizing
another officer in the handling of
the vessel, which is a training ses-
sion in White's regular duties.

“The officer had made a
number of dockings with no dif-
ficulty; however, on this approach
to Horseshoe Bay, the final slow-

ing down necessary to make the
docking did not happen," said
Bouchard. ‘Instead increased revs
on the front propeller, which was
in the wrong position, caused the
vessel to inercase speed.””

He added that White im-
mediately took control of the
vessel as soon as he noticed the
iwo propellers were in the wrong
position, placed the propellers in
the proper position but that
“these actions were not done in
sufficient time to avert the hard
landing.”

“Based on these findings, ap-
propriate disciplinary action has
been taken,"* said Bouchard,

But union spokesman Penny
Crawford said White should not
have received the 10-day suspen-
sion.

“The union does feet the
suspension was excessive,”’ said
Crawford. “We have filed a
