The second express ‘‘fuill

protection from parents of

The third motion directs
the school board to contact
the West Vancouver police
department in order that
**the police department be re-
quested to have officers pre-
sent at all schools in West

crossing a picket line.

The action by the Westcot

But as the News went to
press Thursday (a day early
because of the Remembrance
Day holiday) there were few
indications that the growing
confrontation between the
provincial government and a
growing number of public
sector employees would be
settled.

If it is continuing, in fact,
the situation will worsen this
week as previously scheduled
walk-outs take placc.

West Vancouver, however,
may escape much of the
impact.

West Vancouver Municipal
Employees Association
members, meeting last weck,
voted 2-1 against taking part
in the walk-outs and that ap-
pears to mean that municipal
services will be maintained

That won't be the case in
North Vancouver, where
municipal workers, who are
represented by the ( anadian
Umon of Pubhe Employces,
are scheduled to leave the job

Monday

Ouhers scheduled to walk
out Monday include BC
Ferry and B ¢ Rail
employees and union
represented workers with
icgal services

Tuesday, it is utility and
transit umions that ate

scheduled to join the protest
strikes North Vancouver
residents will be without bus
service as the Metro Transit
system is shut down

In West Vancouver, mean
while, tt appears the bus
system may still be running

The News was not able to
contact an Amalgamatcd
Transit Union official prior
.to deadline but a dispatcher
with the West Van bus system
said that as far as he was
aware the ATU represented
employees would remain on
the job
