Another reason that we cannot make a really firm commitment is that we have a contract with the Canadian Merchant Service Guild, through whom we hire all our Ship's Officers and will quote you the Article dealing with the subject of hiring which is as follows: "Afflcfrfi i - mmnwn "1.2 The Company recognises the Guild as the source of supply for all Officers covered by the Agreement, and will request such personnel from the office of the Guild as required." "1.3 In the event of the Guild being unable to supply competent personnel with sufficient promptness the Company aha11 have the right to obtein replacements elsewhere, his name ahall be given to the Guild, within fourteen (14) days." Notwithstanding, in the past they have been extremely co-operative in allowing us to hire direct for the junior grades of Ships' Engineers but you must join the Guild within fourteen days of being hired. ...2 Mr. L.

Manager, B.C.C.S.S. HLH/jb r\ VANCOUVER, May 16, 1975. File: T-74-30-96 J. Yates Mr. W.W. Martin Vancouver, B.C. I am returning your complete file, PA 154318c, concerning damage to Doman Trailer 234505 December 21, 1974. Your remark that repairs to the trailer and labour to reload the lumber were authorized by this office, is not entirely correct. If a shipper directly makes a request on this office to go ahead with repairs to a trailer damaged while being handled by us, he is always told to do so and submit his claim for handling in the usual manner, but he is distinctly informed that this does not constitute responsibility on our part. The bill for $37.43 from Doman was as a result of their request to Casco to reload the lumber on to another trailer. I am of the firm opinion that the settlement of the claim for the damaged trailer is between Doman and Wallace, as the latter loaded the lumber and is responsible for the poor chains, and Doman handled the unit for them. I do not feel that we are responsible for this damage. Manager, B.C.C.S.S, LBJ'BB ■i.. ..■'■'' o 13. Furthermore, employees could be tempted to use such a proposed weapon in order to extract from the Company additional benefits (which they could not obtain during the open period of the contract) as a condition of an earlier return to work following refusal on their part to cross a picket line. As mentioned on Page 10, the Company has a legal obligation to the public in accordance with the Railway Act and the effect of the Union's demand would be tantamount to forcing the Company to forego its obligations by law. The Board is therefore urged to decline the Union's demand in this respect. 17. Safe Working Conditions. The Union demanded the following paragraphs be added to the present Article 1, Section 14 and to read sub-section (d), (e), (f) and (g):- Hard hats shall be supplied to crew members working in areas where overhead work is being performed. When air chisels, mechanical chippers or scaling tools are used, ear plugs and plastic face protectors shall be supplied. Safety goggles shall be supplied to crewmen doing manual chipping or scaling.

ARTICLE 3 WAGES AND OVERTIME Basic monthly rate to be increased one hundred and fifty dollars ($150.00) across the board. This is to reflect increases in wages, basic monthly and hourly rates, overtime rates and pro-rated vacation pay. Wages and overtime are to be based on one hundred and sixty-two (162) hours per month and the hourly overtime rate to be double basic hourly rate. Effective November 1, 1969, the monthly wage rates will be increased by one dollar and fifty cents ($1.50) per day worked for the employees covered by this Agreement, who are in receipt of subsistence provided by the Company.

Yates Purser Chief Steward "Princess Patricia" I am attaching copy of letter from the City Manager, City of Skagway, concerning garbage pickup from your vessel at that point. Will you please be governed by the requests contained in Mr. lee's letter. Manager, B.C.C.S.f, LBJ'BB 25. deny the demand and maintain the present clause. 26. Meals in Port. The Union demanded that present Article 2, Section 7 (b), meal allowance be increased from two dollars and fifty cents ($2.50) to seven dollars and fifty cents ($7.50) per day. Article 2, Section 7 of the present agreement is headed, "Meals in Port on Vessels on Articles". During negotiations the Company advised the Union that contingent upon a satisfactory wage settlement being negotiated, in the case of the "Trailer Princess", the Company would allow men when on ships Articles, when meals are not provided by the Company, an allowance of six dollars ($6.00) per day, or, two dollars ($2.00) per meal. 27. Laid Up Ships The Union demanded that the wages on laid up ships shall be adjusted as per general gain in wage rates, effective November 1, 1969, thereby amending Article 2, Section 8, sub-section (a) of the present agreement. The Company agreed with the Union that an adjustment in the rates of pay on laid up ships be made on the same percentage basis as that allowed the unlicensed deck and engineroom personnel on ships in service. c VANCOUVER, May 15, 1975. File: 75.AIA.055. J, Yates Mr. M.W. Holland Montreal, Que. Reference your letter of May 7th, File 103-6. There has been no direct transfer as such, between Canadian National's "Prince George" and our "Princess Patricia" service. All new inquiries and/or requests for space have been initiated by individuals and agencies. In view of the fact that Canadian National indicated to their clients the names of all available Alaska cruise ship services, feel there wes no moral obligation to compensate Canadian National for any business secured directly as a result of cancellation of their service. You may wish to inquire if Canadian National recovered their commission from agency cancellations, or in good faith allowed the retention of same, in which case they would have a right to recall it in view of our allowing agencies commission on the sale of "Princess Patricia" accommodation. The only direct reference given us was in connection with an October 12th charter of the "Prince George," but beyond discussing with the operators the possibility of utilizing the "Princess Patricia," it was finally agreed that our charter costs were beyond their means, in view of the numbers travelling in their group, requiring a smaller ship. Manager, B.C.C.S.S. RRR'BB 27. receive an allowance of six dollars ($6.00) per day in lieu thereof. This allowance will commence on the day subsequent to the day victualling ceases and shall cease on the day on which victualling is resumed. There is no justification in this request as the hourly rates on laid up ships were established on the basis that it compensated employees for weekly leave, room and board, as provided for in Article 2, Section 8, sub-section (e) of the present Agreement which reads as followss- "It is agreed the hourly rate of pay as defined in sub-section (a) of this Section compensates the employees for weekly leave and room and board." The Board is respectfully requested to deny this demand. The Union demanded that present Article 2, Section 8, sub-section (f) be amended to read as followss- Employees working on laid up ships at Victoria, whose home port is Vancouver or Nanaimo, shall receive transportation and meals to their home port when on weekly leave. This provision is already included in the Union's request contained in Article 1, Section 16, "Transfer and Travelling Time" (pages 14 and 15 of this statement). As stated, the Company agreed to an allowance of five dollars o VANCOUVER, May 15, 1975. F.W. Atkins on Memorandum Mr. B,D. Margetts Reference B.C.C.S. News operation. The News Stands on the "Princess Marguerite,f "Princess Patricia" and "Princess of Vancouver" have been operated for some years by commissioned News Agents on the first two vessels, and by a salaried News Agent on the "I rincess of Vancouver." The operation has required a News Stock inventory of from $15,000 to $25,000, depending on peak periods. With the sale of the "Princess Marguerite," it now leaves us with a large inventory and only two vessels to dispose of the stock. The "Princess of Vancouver's" sales are of a minor nature in souvenirs, which represents the bulk of the inventory. It is proposed, therefore, to sell the inventory to the present News Agent on the "Princess Patricia," and she will pay the Company the sum of $450 per trip in lieu of commission on her sales. On the basis of 19 trips in the season, return to Company approximates net revenue obtained from "Princess Patricia" News operation in 1974. The sale of the inventory would be on the basis of 90C on the dollar, as there has been an accumulation of dead wood over the years. It is suggested that sale involve down payment of $2,000 and balance spread over the 19 trips. Discounted inventory now approximates $15,000. It is not intended to charge interest on balance of payments. 23. Canada, but urges the Board most strongly to deny the Union's demand for an increase in the rate of pay. 24. Sailing Shorthanded. The Union has demanded that present Article 2, Section 3, (a), (b) and (c) be deleted and replaced with the following: In the event of any ship sailing shorthanded, wages and weekly leave that would otherwise be paid to the members who are absent shall be paid to the crew members in the particular department affected until such time as the vessel's crew is complete. All crew members affected by this clause shall at all times be covered by the overtime clauses in this contract when working in excess of eight (8) hours per day. Under the provisions of sub-section 3 (a) of the existing agreement, it provides; "Where the work of the missing watchkeeping crew member is performed by a non- watchkeeping unlicensed deck personnel, the employee performing such work shall receive overtime for any time worked in excess of eight hours in any one day." Under the present agreement, it is considered the employee is amply compensated, especially as he receives overtime for any time worked in excess of eight (8) hours in any one day. Under the provisions of sub-section 3 (b) of the existing agreement, it provides; "Where the vessel sails without a full complement of unlicensed watchkeeping personnel in the engineroom department and another watchkeeping Engine- room personnel who is normally assigned other duties performs 2. This proposal should prove beneficial to the Company, both from the standpoint of a very minor investment in News stock for the "Princess of Vancouver," reduce costs account staff requirements for stock handling, and still provide reasonable revenue return. If you approve, may I have your authority to progress matter to a conclusion. Catering Superintendent FWA * BB 21. The Company's proposal is common to the railway industry in Canada to say nothing of marine operations conducted by Canadian Pacific and Canadian National Railways on the Okanagan Lake. As the British Columbia Coast Steamship Service is an integral part of the Company's rail service any deviation from our annual vacation proposal would place the Company in an untenable position. The Board is therefore respectfully requested to refuse the Union's demand and to accept the Company's proposal. 23. Statutory Holidays. The Union demanded that present Article 2, Section 2 (a), be amended to read as followss- All employees shall be given ten (10) Statutory Holidays, namely, New Year's Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Victoria Day, Dominion Day, Labour Day, Thanksgiving Day, Remembrance Day, Christmas Day and Boxing Day off, is possible. If not possible, and they are called to work on any of these days, they shall receive two point five (2.5) days paid leave in addition to their regular wages. Employees on weekly leave shall be granted an additional one point five (1.5) day's leave. The Company stated during negotiations and conciliation proceedings that it was prepared to grant a ninth statutory holiday, i.e.: Boxing Day, contingent upon a satisfactory wage settlement being negotiated. The Company stated clearly at that time that it was not Ci CANADIAN PACIFIC LIMITED British Columbia Coast Steamship Service VANCOUVER, May 15, 197 5.

He, apparently, only drew them for a few weeks.

Mr. Chee Chan has been drawing unemployment insurance benefits wliile leid off from this Company and it would be appreciated if you will adviae the emounts and for periods covered that he actually claims since October 6, 1974, to date. Mr. Chan has been drawing U.S. Social Security due to the fact that he contributes by payroll deduction when our vessel is operating in U.S. waters. The U.S. Railroad Retirement Board are now demanding re-payment of $1,342.57 which they paid to Mr. Chan in Social Security benefits for the period October 6, 1974, to March 31, 1975. Mr. Chan thinks that he can avoid this by re-paying the Unemployment Insurance Commission the benefits he has received which he states were for only e few weeks this year. He had with him a cheque in the amount of $214.98 which he aald he was going to return immediately to you. As this employee does not read English to* well 1 think he become confused when his U.S. payments atopped temporarily and assuming he wea at the end of hia benefita, he applied for Canadian Unemployment Insurance.

The Company is at a loss to understand why this demand was submitted. During negotiations, the Union could not cite any specific benefits or provisions of the Agreement that were not being paid to employees working on laid up ships. Thus this demand is without foundation. 28. Maintenance Work.

In view of these penalties, the unlicensed deck ratings also receive considerable extra remuneration in the way of a penalty, and the Board will be interested to know that average wages earned by fifteen senior unlicensed deck ratings employed during 1969 ranged from $559.00 per month to $948.00 per month. Statement showing the actual earnings in 1969 of these fifteen senior deck ratings is attached and shall be called EXHIBIT "F". Some of the remuneration is paid to the employees because of penalties which are allowed them for doing work while actually performing their regular tour of duty.

As mentioned on Page 10, the Company has a legal obligation to the public in accordance with the Railway Act and the effect of the Union's demand would be tantamount to forcing the Company to forego its obligations by law. The Board is therefore urged to decline the Union's demand in this respect. 17. Safe Working Conditions.

These provisions are set forth in Article 3 of the present Agreement. The provisions as outlined in the existing agreement merely provide for an increase in the monthly wage rates of $1.00 per day for the deck and engineroom ratings who are in receipt of subsistence from the Company, and the Company then deducts from the wages of such employees an amount equivalent to $1.00 per day to pay subsistence provided these employees. This arrangement was agreed upon some time ago when demand was received from the Union so they could be provided with a receipt which they use for Federal Income Tax purposes. When this arrangement was agreed upon, it was definitely stipulated that the collection of pension rights and employees contributions to the Pension Fund would be based on the monthly wage rates less the amount deducted to pay for subsistence. The Board is requested to leave the present conditions unchanged. The Union demanded that contributions to the Railroad Retirement Fund be on a voluntary basis by the employee.

The Union demanded that the following provision be added to the present Article 2, Section 14 and to read "Sub-section (b)"s- Tradesmen or crew members who are required to provide their own tools shall receive up to an additional two hundred and fifty dollars ($250.00) for the value of the loss of such tools. As the Company does not require crew members to provide their own tools and if circumstances ever warranted the use of tools in line with Company practice such tools would be provided by the Company. It is therefore recommended that the Board deny this demand. 34. Wages and Overtime (Article 3) The Union demanded the following;- Basic monthly rate to be increased one hundred and fifty dollars ($150.00) across the board. This is to reflect increases in wages, basic monthly and hourly rates, overtime rates and pro-rated vacation pay. The Union's demand is exorbitant and the Company so advised the Union. 2. be.

The Company advised the Union that no cargo is handled or worked on B.C. Coast Steamship Service vessels and therefore this provision would not apply. 31. Special Commodities. The Union demanded that the rate paid for handling special commodities be increased from ten cents (IOC) per hour to fifty cents (50C) per hour, thereby amending Article 2, Section 13 of the present agreement. While this provision is contained in the present agreement there is absolutely no need for same due to the fact no special commodities are handled by crew members on B.C. Coast Steamship Service vessels. In the circumstances the request should be denied and the present clause deleted from the Agreement. ^ .■: VAWCOUVSR, May 12, 1975. Filet T-75-1010-A J.

Robinson, Nanaimo. For your information. Manager, B.C.C.S.S, 31. 29. Weekly Leave. The Union demanded that present Article 2, Section 11 be deleted and the following provisions be added and to read, "Sub-sections (a) and (b)"s- (a) Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, weekly leave shall be granted to employees covered by this Agreement, except those employed on an hourly basis or on laid up ships, on the basis of two and one-half (2^) days' weekly leave for each forty (40) hours worked, exclusive of overtime. Such leave will be given in the ports of Vancouver, Victoria or Nanaimo. The basis for calculating weekly leave shall be five-tenths (.5) of one (l) day off for each day worked. (b) When schedules and traffic conditions permit, these employees shall be granted the two and one-half (2^) days' off in each week. When it is inconvenient to grant this weekly leave when due, it shall be allowed to accumulate and be granted at a later date. Where conditions will permit a portion of the leave to be allowed in the Ports of Vancouver, Victoria or Nanaimo, it shall be granted on the following basis:- Twenty-four (24) hours free of the ship shall constitute one (l) day's leave. Aside from the increase from .4 per day worked for each day worked and the cost of providing relief for the additional weekly leave, the Union's demand would also result in a large increase in the overtime rate. The general increase of thirty-three percent (33%) demanded in the basic monthly rates would also reflect in paid weekly leave. The actual amount of paid leave would be increased 1 ' *v VANCOUVER, May 12, 1975. Filex 75.ALA.521.1.M. J. Yates Mr. J.G.

The Company is at a loss to understand why this demand was submitted. During negotiations, the Union could not cite any specific benefits or provisions of the Agreement that were not being paid to employees working on laid up ships. Thus this demand is without foundation. 28. Maintenance Work. The Union demanded that present Article 2, Section 9 be amended to read as follows:- The Company agrees to have all sanitary and maintenance work done between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., except that concerned with the safe navigation of the ship. Any of this work performed between the hours of 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. shall be paid at the regular overtime rate. The following provisions are contained in the present agreement:- "The Company agrees to have all maintenance work, except that concerned with the safe navigation of the ships and sanitary duties, performed between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m." "Such sanitary duties shall be confined to daylight hours. Squeegeeing windows, wiping hand rails and work howsoever performed on the car deck, shall not be considered sanitary duties." c May 12, 1975.

Yours very truly. Manager, B.C.C.S.S. RRR'BB 23, o Canada, but urges the Board most strongly to deny the Union's demand for an increase in the rate of pay. 24. Sailing Shorthanded. The Union has demanded that present Article 2, Section 3, (a), (b) and (c) be deleted and replaced with the following: In the event of any ship sailing shorthanded, wages and weekly leave that would otherwise be paid to the members who are absent shall be paid to the crew members in the particular department affected until such time as the vessel's crew is complete. All crew members affected by this clause shall at all times be covered by the overtime clauses in this contract when working in excess of eight (8) hours per day. Under the provisions of sub-section 3 (a) of the existing agreement, it provides; "Where the work of the missing watchkeeping crew member is performed by a non- watchkeeping unlicensed deck personnel, the employee performing such work shall receive overtime for any time worked in excess of eight hours in any one day." Under the present agreement, it is considered the employee is amply compensated, especially as he receives overtime for any time worked in excess of eight (8) hours in any one day. Under the provisions of sub-section 3 (b) of the existing agreement, it provides; "Where the vessel sails without a full complement of unlicensed watchkeeping personnel in the engineroom department and another watchkeeping Engine- room personnel who is normally assigned other duties performs c VANCOUVER, May 12, 1975.

This will be your authority upon Red caps ' request shortly after 10*00 a.m., to pay each Red Cap the sum of $3.00, to be charged as Red Cap services. Wherever possible, names will be given you in advance, but in each case those performing these duties will be properly represented by their Red cap hats. Please obtain signatures in the usual manner, accounting therefor accordingly. Manager, B.C.C.S.S. RRR'BB 21. The Company's proposal is common to the railway industry in Canada to say nothing of marine operations conducted by Canadian Pacific and Canadian National Railways on the Okanagan Lake. As the British Columbia Coast Steamship Service is an integral part of the Company's rail service any deviation from our annual vacation proposal would place the Company in an untenable position. The Board is therefore respectfully requested to refuse the Union's demand and to accept the Company's proposal. 23. Statutory Holidays. The Union demanded that present Article 2, Section 2 (a), be amended to read as followsz- All employees shall be given ten (10) Statutory Holidays, namely, New Year's Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Victoria Day, Dominion Day, Labour Day, Thanksgiving Day, Remembrance Day, Christmas Day and Boxing Day off, is possible. If not possible, and they are called to work on any of these days, they shall receive two point five (2.5) days paid leave in addition to their regular wages. Employees on weekly leave shall be granted an additional one point five (1.5) day's leave. The Company stated during negotiations and conciliation proceedings that it was prepared to grant a ninth statutory holiday, i.e.: Boxing Day, contingent upon a satisfactory wage settlement being negotiated. The Company stated clearly at that time that it was not r^ c VANCOUVER, May 12. 1975, J.

No Company shall (a) make or give any undue or unreasonable preference or advantage to, or in favour of any particular person or company, or any particular description of traffic, in any respect whatsoever; (b) by any unreasonable delay or otherwise howsoever make any difference in treatment in the receiving, loading, forwarding, unloading or delivery of the goods of a similar character in favour of or against ny particular person or company; (c) subject any particular person, or company, or any particular description of traffic, to any undue, or unreasonable prejudice or disadvantage, in any respect whatsoever." "Section 392.

As the British Columbia Coast Steamship Service is an integral part of the Company's rail service any deviation from our annual vacation proposal would place the Company in an untenable position. The Board is therefore respectfully requested to refuse the Union's demand and to accept the Company's proposal. 23. Statutory Holidays.

The Union demanded that present Article 2, Section 7 (b), meal allowance be increased from two dollars and fifty cents ($2.50) to seven dollars and fifty cents ($7.50) per day. Article 2, Section 7 of the present agreement is headed, "Meals in Port on Vessels on Articles". During negotiations the Company advised the Union that contingent upon a satisfactory wage settlement being negotiated, in the case of the "Trailer Princess", the Company would allow men when on ships Articles, when meals are not provided by the Company, an allowance of six dollars ($6.00) per day, or, two dollars ($2.00) per meal. 27. Laid Up Ships The Union demanded that the wages on laid up ships shall be adjusted as per general gain in wage rates, effective November 1, 1969, thereby amending Article 2, Section 8, sub-section (a) of the present agreement. The Company agreed with the Union that an adjustment in the rates of pay on laid up ships be made on the same percentage basis as that allowed the unlicensed deck and engineroom personnel on ships in service. .3.

HLH'BB o KmJ 7. Since its inception the Company has had shipyard firms and other outside contractors perform a variety of maintenance and overhaul works on laid-up ships during the period prior to the commencement of the regular sailing season. The Company contracts out certain phases of work since it does not have the facilities nor the equipment to perform most of the work. In addition, the Company has always had its own shore maintenance staffs at Victoria and Vancouver carrying out maintenance work including painting during the course of the season. The railways reject this demand on principle. It is a clear cut and unwarranted infringement of management's functions The prime duty of the Company is to provide an efficient and economical transportation service. This means that all reasonable means of improving the service and reducing costs must be used. Neither Company management nor management in any other industry can discharge its responsibilities effectively unless it has the authority and freedom of action to determine and implement the most efficient and economical combination of all factors of production, including labour. The right to contract out is an essential part of this authority and freedom. In each situation in which contracting out is considered, a decision to contract out is made only after careful and detailed study of the various factors involved. ' VANCOUVER, May 1. 1975, J.

The vessels operated by this Company are:- Gross Tonnage Princess of Vancouver 5554 Princess Marguerite 5911 Princess Patricia 6062 Trailer Princess 2689 3. Number of personnel directly concerned in this dispute during the summer months is 70, representing 21.5% of the total floating personnel (The "Princess Patricia" and "Princess Marguerite" operate during the summer months only). Number of personnel directly concerned in this dispute during the winter months is 37, representing 22.3% of the total floating personnel. 4.

The Company wishes to advise this Board that the provision of safety equipment requested by the Union is acceptable to the Company, with one exception. In place of sunglasses which the Union requested the Company supply Quartermasters and Lookouts, the Company will install suitable tinted windowshades in all wheelhouses. 18.

The Union demanded that Article 1, Section 16, subsections (a), (b) and (c) be amended to read as follows:- (a) An employee appointed to a position necessitating travelling from one point to another on the British Columbia coast to assume that position, shall be signed on the ship's articles as "Supernumary" to be worked, if necessary, and shall be provided with board and living quarters, being on full pay from the time of leaving starting point. (b) When employees are transferred from one ship to another at the Company's convenience, where such transfer necessitates a layover period awaiting ship, such employees shall be compensated at their regular rate of wages during such layover. If layover takes place at any port other than the employee's home port, accommodation and meals will be provided.

A o 31. 29. Weekly Leave. The Union demanded that present Article 2, Section 11 be deleted and the following provisions be added and to read, "Sub-sections (a) and (b)":- (a) Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, weekly leave shall be granted to employees covered by this Agreement, except those employed on an hourly basis or on laid up ships, on the basis of two and one-half (2^) days' weekly leave for each forty (40) hours worked, exclusive of overtime. Such leave will be given in the ports of Vancouver, Victoria or Nanaimo. The basis for calculating weekly leave shall be five-tenths (.5) of one (1) day off for each day worked. (b) When schedules and traffic conditions permit, these employees shall be granted the two and one-half (2*g) days' off in each week. When it is inconvenient to grant this weekly leave when due, it shall be allowed to accumulate and be granted at a later date. Where conditions will permit a portion of the leave to be allowed in the Ports of Vancouver, Victoria or Nanaimo, it shall be granted on the following bas is: - Twenty-four (24) hours free of the ship shall constitute one (l) day's leave. Aside from the increase from .4 per day worked for each day worked and the cost of providing relief for the additional weekly leave, the Union's demand would also result in a large increase in the overtime rate. The general increase of thirty-three percent (33%) demanded in the basic monthly rates would also reflect in paid weekly leave.

The Union demanded that the following provision be added to the present Article 2, Section 14 and to read "Sub-section (b)"s- Tradesmen or crew members who are required to provide their own tools shall receive up to an additional two hundred and fifty dollars ($250.00) for the value of the loss of such tools. As the Company does not require crew members to provide their own tools and if circumstances ever warranted the use of tools in line with Company practice such tools would be provided by the Company. It is therefore recommended that the Board deny this demand. 34. Wages and Overtime (Article 3) The Union demanded the following:- Basic monthly rate to be increased one hundred and fifty dollars ($150.00) across the board. This is to reflect increases in wages, basic monthly and hourly rates, overtime rates and pro-rated vacation pay. The Union's demand is exorbitant and the Company so advised the Union. o t 1 o May 6, 1975. File No. 529 Mr. L.L. Reid District Manager Dept. of Communications #300-325 Granville St. Vancouver, B.C.

This should also be of concern to the Union, inasmuch as such wage increases are already having a direct effect on the stability of employment for the men the Union represents due to the intense competition being encountered and the pricing of our service. Further pyramiding of wage costs will only worsen the situation. The wage demand of the Union certainly is an inflationary one and far in excess of Federal guide lines. As matters stand, wage increases in the B.C. Coast Steamship Service have risen above the cost of living index during recent years? for example, for the period May 1, 1967 to May 1, 1969, the Dominion Bureau of Statistics Cost of Living Index for Vancouver increased 8% from 110.5% to 118.5%, yet on the other hand the rate for an A.B. Seaman rose 14.2% in the same period. If Canadian Pacific is to secure and retain its share of the available traffic potential in a highly competitive market, this can only be accomplished through exerting every means to rigidly control our costs. It is obvious, therefore, that while the request of the Union for an inflationary increase in wage rates over their present levels is unwarranted and unjustified, a recommendation for an increase over and above that offered by the Company would have far-reaching and serious consequences both to the Company May 6, 1975.

I regret to advise that we have no openings at present, but should you be in this area at any time, please come into our office and enquire as to the situation regarding enf>loyraent as Deck Officer. Your interest is appreciated. Yours very truly.

These provisions are set forth in Article 3 of the present Agreement. The provisions as outlined in the existing agreement merely provide for an increase in the monthly wage rates of $1.00 per day for the deck and engineroom ratings who are in receipt of subsistence from the Company, and the Company then deducts from the wages of such employees an amount equivalent to $1.00 per day to pay subsistence provided these employees. This arrangement was agreed upon some time ago when demand was received from the Union so they could be provided with a receipt which they use for Federal Income Tax purposes. When this arrangement was agreed upon, it was definitely stipulated that the collection of pension rights and employees contributions to the Pension Fund would be based on the monthly wage rates less the amount deducted to pay for subsistence. The Board is requested to leave the present conditions unchanged. The Union demanded that contributions to the Railroad Retirement Fund be on a voluntary basis by the employee. The Company is required by law to make a deduction from the wages of employees working on B.C. Coast Steamship Service ships whilst in the territorial waters of the United States an amount equivalent to 9.55% (present rate) of each o c .,■' May 6, 1975. File No. 451 Mr. G.A.E.

The Union was advised that as the present agreement provided for a penalty to be paid to deck ratings on the "Princess of Vancouver" or "Trailer Princess" when required to block trailer wheels or to apply pads under the landing gears of such vehicles while on watch, it could not be considered part of the regular duties of the seamen. If such work was considered part of the regular duties of the seamen, then the penalty should be eliminated. The Company cannot add any further to what we have already said and it is therefore requested the Board leave the present conditions unchanged. 36. Cleaning Bilges and Rose Boxes. The Union demanded that Article 4, Section 4 of the present agreement be amended to read as follows:- When members of the unlicensed personnel in the Deck Department are required to clean either bilges, rose boxes or oil spills, they shall be paid the rate specified below. If required to perform such work during overtime hours, they shall be paid on the basis of time and one-half the overtime rate. The Union was advised the Company is agreeable to allowing the same percentage increase as that finally agreed upon with respect to the basic wages. VANCOUVER, May 6, 1975.

This clause shall also apply to unlicensed employees working on laid up ships. The provisions contained in the Union's proposal under sub-section (a) of the agreement are satisfactory, with the exception that such provisions shall not apply to employees transferring at their own request. The provisions contained in the Union's proposal under sub-section (b) of the agreement are acceptable to the Company. The provisions contained in the Union's proposal under sub-section (c) of the agreement are acceptable and the Company agrees to an allowance of five dollars ($5.00) to be made to deck and engineroom ratings to defray the cost of two meals, one when they travel from Victoria to Vancouver, and the other when returning from Vancouver to Victoria, when assigned to laid-up ships. The payment of five dollars ($5.00) is in addition to their fare which is provided by the Company. The Union was advised that the Company's acceptance of sub-sections (a), (b) and (c) was contingent upon a satisfactory wage settlement being negotiated. I 2. cc. Mr. C.A. Aitken, Vancouver. Mr. R.A.

Such a demand represents an infringement on Management's responsibility and right to operate as efficiently and economically as possible consistent with safe operation. The Board is, therefore, respectfully requested to refuse the demand. COMPANY'S PROPOS ALS On January 6, 1970, the Company submitted the following proposals to the Union:- 40. Welfare Plan. Amend wording contained in Article 1, Section 32, first paragraph of the current agreement as follows:- The Company will contribute the amount of fifty cents (50C) per man to be made per day worked AND NOT PER PAYROLL DAY. 41. Coffee Time. Article 2, Section 6 of the current agreement:- On the "Trailer Princess" where there are only two seamen on board, the arrangements for coffee period should be the same as that in effect on the B.C. Tow Boats and other self-propelled barges on the West Coast. 42. Maintenance Work. Article 2, Section 9 of the current agreements- i May 6, 1975. File No, T-75-1007-A Parts Diesel Division, G .M.

Also, the Agreement covering wage and working conditions for Pursers, Pursers and Wireless Operators, Members of the Pursers Department, Chief and Second Stewards, is open for negotiation after July 1, 1970 with the Brotherhood of Railway, Airline & Steamship Clerks. Agreement covering our Licensed Officers y expires August 31, 1970. While the Company recognizes that an agreement with one group of employees does not necessarily mean that the terms of such agreement must apply to the other groups of employees, we may assume that settlements with the other groups mentioned will be affected by a settlement here. The ultimate cost, therefore, of the recommendation of your Board will be far in excess of the amount shown here. 12. Statement of the cost of the demands on the B.C. Coast Steamship Service is attached and shall be called EXHIBIT "C". THE EFFECT ON THE FINANCIAL POSITION OF THIS COMPANY 13. It is acknowledged that the Company does not expect the employees to subsidize in any way, its operations. On the other hand, the Company is in an unfavourable position in the Coastwise Pacific Trade business. The major passenger and automobile service between Vancouver and Vancouver Island is performed by the Government owned ferry service. The Passenger and automobile VANCOUVER, May 6,1975.

On August 1, 1969, the Vice-President, Pacific Area of the Seafarers' International Union of Canada advised our Company in writing as under:- "In accordance with the 'Termination Clause' of the current agreement between your company and this organization, please be advised that we are desirous of re-opening the agreement to discuss proposed revisions of wages and working conditions." "We will be pleased to meet with representatives of your company at an early date to commence collective bargaining. May we hear from you so that meetings can be arranged for the purpose of negotiations?" 6. The Union's proposals were submitted on August 29, 1969, a copy of which is attached, and shall be called EXHIBIT "B". The Company met with representatives of the employees on November 12, 1969 and on December 3rd, 1969. As the parties were unable to reach an agreement at these meetings, the Union advised the Company they were requesting the appointment of a Conciliation Officer, available under the Industrial Relations and Disputes Investigation Act. 7. Mr. D.H. Cameron, Industrial Relations Officer, Canada . 2. Charge - On conclusion of cruiae group will pay the rate of ?5.00 pax man to Canadian Pacific, covering food costs. Second steward, or other representative, should confirm number on board for charge. Asst. Manager, B.C.C.S.S, RRR'BB cc. Mr. J. Yatea : o o 29. The Company is at a loss to understand why this demand was submitted. During negotiations, the Union could not cite any specific benefits or provisions of the Agreement that were not being paid to employees working on laid up ships. Thus this demand is without foundation. 28. Maintenance Work. The Union demanded that present Article 2, Section 9 be amended to read as follows:- The Company agrees to have all sanitary and maintenance work done between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., except that concerned with the safe navigation of the ship. Any of this work performed between the hours of 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. shall be paid at the regular overtime rate. The following provisions are contained in the present agreement:- "The Company agrees to have all maintenance work, except that concerned with the safe navigation of the ships and sanitary duties, performed between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m." "Such sanitary duties shall be confined to daylight hours. Squeegeeing windows, wiping hand rails and work howsoever performed on the car deck, shall not be considered sanitary duties." -* ._.* VANCOUVER, May 6, 1975. Files 609 J. Yates Mr. B.D.

As mentioned on Page 10, the Company has a legal obligation to the public in accordance with the Railway Act and the effect of the Union's demand would be tantamount to forcing the Company to forego its obligations by law. The Board is therefore urged to decline the Union's demand in this respect. 17. Safe Working Conditions o The Union demanded the following paragraphs be added to the present Article 1, Section 14 and to read sub-section (d), (e), (f) and (g):- Hard hats shall be supplied to crew members working in areas where overhead work is being performed. When air chisels, mechanical chippers or scaling tools are used, ear plugs and plastic face protectors shall be supplied. Safety goggles shall be supplied to crewmen doing manual chipping or scaling.

The fee is $10.00 with the Company absorbing one-half and the employee the remaining one-half. Should the applicant not meet the requirements of the service the Company absorbs the entire fee. The present arrangement works to the mutual advantage of employer and employee, and should be permitted to continue without inclusion in the agreement. 15. Discrimination.
