Sorenson has been branded as a “union basher” because of a motion he submitted to North Van City council in January, Suggesting rollbacks for council members as an example to its CUPE staff to forfeit pay raises already negotiated to avoid the necessity of layoffs.

When CUPE pulled its account with the Credit Union in_ response to Sorenson's motion and his vote in favor of contracting out City’s garbage collection service, Sorenson quit as an alderman.

He says: “You accuse somebody of murder and there is usually a body, or somebody missing or something.

“Everybody is geting on the bandwagon but nobody is citing examples. It's trial without representation.

Last week the HEU wrote to Nhe credit union ter- minating its membership and issuing an instruction for its term deposit to be with- drawn at term.

It gave its reason as being the “recent notoriety of operations manager Sorenson and his continued antagonistic attitude towards the unionized people of the North Shore, many of whom it is believed to be founding members of the North Shore Community Credit Union.”

HEU chairman Gardner says the decision to pull out of the credit union was taken at a membership meeting and the letter of termination says the local “feels con- strained to demonstrate its soldanty with the Canadian

Union of Public Em- ployees.”

But Gardner tells the News “This bashing of

support from unionized people.

“I have had an over- whelming outpouring of support from people I have never even heard of.”

Meanwhle, credit union general manager Davies thinks things have gone far enough and wonders just what will make the unions éontént, quit being an alderman.

“He has ceased being a part of that acuity. That should satisfy them What else do they want?”

As for Sorenson being anti-union, Davies looks back to the months CUPE was on strike

“He was the first to be extending their mortgages and so on and was looking after their needs very well on an tndividual basis.”
