Mr. Bennett hits out again with anti-labor Trade Union Act, Bill 42 Legislation r e q u i r ing the boding of firms in the construction industry to ensure payment of employees' .wages has been urged by the Vancouver and District Building and Construction Trades Council. The proposal was made to Labor Minister Peterson in a brief presented iu Victoria this month. -The brief said "the time has come for an Act to be passed making it compulsory for persons entering into the contracting field to become automatically bonded for the payroll of | their future employees at the time of the issuing of their licenses." The construction trade unions said that in recent years, people who have failed in business ventures have turned to the building field where the only ey is the cost of Once the licence is procured a dangerous situation is created to both the public and the provincial and federal governments." These iypes of companies leave behind them a chaotic ■B Lien Act offers little protection condition — bankruolcy. half- finished projects and hardship to employees who are left hold* ing wage cheques with, th* well-known insignia NSF, iho brief stated. "We believe that an Act for the bonding of contractors would bring this honored profession back to ihe prestige it once enjoyed. We are of the firm opinion thai people coming into the contracting business should bo morally and financially sound." It said that when contractors fail to meet their obligations and turn to the Bankruptcy Act for protection, a very unfavorable reflection is made on legitimate contractors who meet their obligations to the public and the community at large. The problems of employees who are left with unpaid wages could be eliminated to a great elrtfertt rrth--g,u »—--merit wouM require by law -bat contractors have financial proof of ability to meet their intended payroll. The brief said this is the "fair and just" method of protecting legitimate contractors who meet their obligations. Provincial Council of Carpenters this month also urged the labor minister to bond contractors, pointing out that the Mechanics' Lien Act is not doing the job intended because many tradesmen have difficulty collecting wages from defaulting contractors. Council secretary E. T. Staley said irresponsible people in the contracting business would be eliminated by bonding. The council also urged a revision of the manual of school law to include a fair wage regulation requiring going rates in areas where school boards are building. * The carpenters' central organization also asked that the hours of work act cut the work week from 44 to 40 hours and proposed more field staff for the department of labor to police government regulations. ;'*«.].■._;.■:■:■;■ i 4. Unemployment plagues economy 5. Proud moment 6. Holding fast on picket lines The legislative campaign against labor continued this year and the Socreds Bill 42 which clamped on further restrictions was pushed through the B.C. Legislature. The Labor Statesman's view ot how civil rights were being trampled was illustrated by cartoon (See leit, No. 1) . . . Meantime. Labor, in seeking political expression, joined with the CCF and other groups to launch the New Democratic Party, elect Tommy Douglas (No. 2) as party leader . . . During 1961 trade unionists played many community service roles, like its strong support lor the Community Chest (No. 3) . . . But through all the events oi the year, the failure to cope with unemployment was one of Canada's blackest marks . . . A proud moment came tor labor veteran Jack Henderson (No. 5) named Vancouver's "good citiren oi the year" ... As the year ended, several lengthy strikes continued (No. 6) as Retail Wholesale Union, United Steelworkers and Retail Clerks stuck to their picket lines, solid in their determination. $\ ■ ■ ■.' m —- - \ Page 2 The Labor Statesman - December, 1961 qj CI Ql REPORTS Postal help pay" too low A second protest has been made to the postmaster general about the $1 an hour rate being paid by the post office for casual labor employed during the Christmas rush period. Vancouver and District Labour Council said the wage scale is less than the minimum necessary for subsistence and "in our opinion the federal government should be setting an example in the payment of wages." The protest said casual employees should be paid the same amount as permanent | employees. I PosTmaster General Hamilton, said a recent survey by field officers found that the rate paid "is not much out of line with that paid in private industry" for a job which requires no experience. He said he has asked the civil service commission to conduct a further detailed survey of the wage scale. m 61.

St. Eloi recently returned from a tour of the northern B.C. area. He said: • That Peace River contractors were hiring most of their employees from Alberta while many B.C. workers are out of jobs. • That in some areas men were working nine hours a day ior a wage of $8 a day. • Compensation rules were not being adhered to and conditions in the camps" are poor. • Tradesmen were working seven days a week with hours ranging from 10 to 14 hours a day. All this, while over 300 plumbers are out of work in •Vancouver. • That practically all benefits to secondary industry in that field in B.C. were being lost because purchase of materials is being made from American and prairie companies. B.C. companies were not even being allowed to bid on pipeline equipment. • The provincial government is*, "issuing overtime permits like newspapers" with full knowledge of the hours being worked. , St. Eloi said that _•,•*■ saw overtime being carried on to the extent that some workers were on the job around the clock until they were so tired they had lo take time out to sleep. ••Pressure must be brought on the provincial government to do away with this overtime so that all possible unemployed can be put to work." he said. HERE'S YOUR CHANCE Course offers advice on many pitfalls in financing A special course to delve into interest rates, mortgage and credit charges will be set up by the regional office of the Canadian Congress of Labour if enough trade unions ists show an interest. Dan Radford, regional CLC education representative, told VLC meeting this month that the course would be sponsored in conjunction with Dr. S. A. Jennings of the UBC Department of Mathematics. He said the course is inr tended to give the average man sufficient background to enable him to understand and to appraise the interest rates being levied in every day transactions. He said the course would deal with time payments, mortgages, installment payments, simple and compound interest, the cost of owning cars and appliances, time payment contracts and the operation of the credit union and the co-operative movement. Vancouver and District La bour Council earlier this year led a campaign against high interest rates and dealing in mortgages and created a new public interest in the subject. Radford said charges of usury—lending money at ex- hobitant interest rates— have been hurled at money lenders since time immemorial and that in some cases the charges are well founded in others they are not. The proposed classes would run for eight weeks — one class eaclj week on Wednesday .nights at 8 'p%. m^aaom at UBC starting on Jan. 17. The course would cost $8 per delegate, I Maximum class will be 40 while a minimum of 25 is necessary to make it economically feasible. Radford said. He urged that all union members interested in the course to contact Vancouver and District Labour Council secretary at TR 9r2421 as soon as possible.

"Blame Labor" has become their chant. „ ' The representatives of both government and management are still looking for a scapegoat for the mess they have made of the Canadian economy—and it appears that Labor has been their unanimous choice. Their attempts to blacken Labor's face by smear tactics, however, has not paid off and now a new attack is being directed at the worker. He's\ being blamed for the present recession with the claim that high wages have driven Canadian products out of the world market. This blame - the - worker blast is being refuted daily on the financial pages of our newspapers even though the front pages continue with the attack. There can be no doubt that the anti-labor legislation introduced by the present provincial government—Bills 43 and 42—have made it more difficult for Labor in B.C. to organize the unorganized and to negotiate with employers from a position of strength. And this is exactly what the legislation was intended for. There can be no doubt either that their attempt to blame organized Labor will continue and intensify, especially with a federal election looming in 1962. The employers and their political parties are living in fear of the new political arm of the worker — the New Democratic Party — and will pull all stops to keep our political party out of power. The employer groups care little whether they elect Liberals or Conservatives as long as they beat the NDP. As the year closes, unemployment continues to plague the economy. Unless some positive action is taken by our governments, the total number of people out of work may well rise above the 800,- OOOmark in the early spring. It is up to our governments in the coming year to work out fiscal and economic policies that will reduce unemployment in this, the richest country in the world. We in the labor movement also have a responsibility — not only to our members who are working but to the thousands of unemployed who are living on starvation inromfs through no choice of their own. Labor must continue to demand a better distribution of the fruits of automation and its increased productivity. Our goals must be shorter working hours, longer vacations and earlier retirement PADDY NEALE for the working people in a prqgr^im^;<^('*_C2a-H VISIT OUR *The newspapers say that i/ob opportunities are opening up, Ed, and I'll bet I landed one of 'em'." 401.

This simple statement marks one of the inost frightening things that can happen to a man or woman. Because of this we have Unemployment Insurance" .in this country — our protection in case of this possibility. I The Unemployment Insurance Commission office in Vancouver administers this program. At the same office is the National Employment Service who do an equally important job helping men and women find employment. WHO IS INSURABLE? Anyone in Canada in a wage- earning position no matter how old or how they are paid, providing their earnings do not exceed $5,460 in a year, can be insured. Even those earning over this figure are insurable if they are paid at so much an hour, per day, by the piece; if they are employed In fishing, or if they pay both their own and their employer's- share of the premium. Some part-time employment is insurable. It's best to consult the local office in this area for the rul- ing.on individual work. YOUR INSURANCE BOOK When you enter insurable employment for the first time you are registered with the Commission and receive an insurance book with a number. This insurance number is allotted to you for life, so it is important that you either memorize it or write it where you will have it handy. Your employer keeps your book and it is his responsibility to record your contribution each pay. You have the right to examine your book. If you should lose your insurance book give full details, including your insurance number, to the local office of the UIC immediately. WHERE DO CONTRIBUTIONS GO? Contributions, both yours and your- employers, go into the Unemployment Insurance Fund. To this the federal government adds one-fifth of the total amount* from employees and employers. The fund is used for payment of benefits. The Government pays operating costs such as upkeep of UIC offices and administration salaries. A question often asked is: If I leave insurable employment permanently can I get a refund of the contributions I have paid? The answer is no. It is just like any other insurance — take fire insurance, you pay the premiums for protection against fire. If your house does not burn down, you have had the protection and you get no refund of your premiums. In the same Way, if a man retires from work, or a woman marries and leaves the employment field, no refund of unemployment insurance contributions is made. The contributions stay in the Fund for those who do lose their jobs. WHAT DO I RECEIVE? If you are laid off youf job go immediately to the local of-. fice of the Commission and register for a job. If you wish to make a claim for benefits get your insurance book from your last^employer, see that it is stamped up to and including the last week you worked and take it to the local office. There you will fill out an application for benefit. The local office will then instruct you when to return. Benefits range from $6 to $27 for a claimant without dependants depending on the level 6f the previous contributions; and from $8 to $36 for someone with a dependant. "If the NES finds you a job you are expected to take it, if it it suitable. If you refuse suitable employment or fail to apply for it without good cause, you could be disqualified from receiving benefits for up to six weeks. BOARD OF REFEREES An insurance officer decides whether your claim may be allowed. If you are not satisfied with this decision you may apply to the board of referees. The board of referees is made up of one member "representing insured persons, one member representing employers and a chairman appointed by the government. None of these persons is an employee of the UIC or a civil servant, nor are the members (with the exception of the chairman) selected by the Commission. WHAT DOES THE NES. DO? This employment service is available to anyone whether employed or unemployed. If you are looking for different work, or want more training in your present line of work or if you are out of work, the facilities of this employment service are open to you. Every class of worker is welcome — both men and women — including skilled, unskilled and handicapped, juveniles, professional and veterans. Here are some often asked pertinent questions: If you quit your job without just cause or are dismissed because of your own misconduct can' you* claim benefits? You can be disqualified from benefits for as long as six weeks. However, if still not working after that time it is possible that you could receive benefits. What if you are unemployed because of a strike? No benefits, unless you can prove (a) that you are not taking part in the dispute, (b) are not financing the dispute, (c) are not directly interested in it, (d) do not belong to a grade or class of workers at the premises who are striking. What if you are ill and lose your job because*-.- injury? No benefits. .Because you are not available for work. However, if you become incapacitated after registering with UIC and serving your waiting period and are entitled to benefits,' your payments will not be affected. What if you have a pension or private income — does this affect benefits? No. Benefits are received according to con- tributions paid previous to the claim and income from private sources or permanent pension awards are not considered as earnings. However, such income received by a claimed dependant may affect dependency satus. I r I Greetings to Organized Labor! BURRARD DRY DOCK CO. LTD NORTH VANCOUVER BRITISH COLUMBIA Greater Vancouver Real Es- tate Salesmen's Association Local 1570 has applied to the provincial government for coverage of real estate salesmen under provisions of the male and female Minimum Wage Act. Association secretary Barney McGuire said the inadequacies of the B. C. Real Estate Act have prompted the drive for protective legislation. He said the present Act gives no wage protection to salesmen, particularly on the amount of commissions and when commissions are paid. The real estate union also announced a revitalized organizing campaign will start in early January. Gordon Wilkinson, general representative of the CLC, has been assigned by the Congress to work with real estate salesmen in the campaign and ground work for the i drive is now being laid. McGuire said the amount a salesman is paid today is at the sole discretion of the employer. In the Greater Vancouver area, salesmen are paid under a low ceiling — a maximum — established by the employers organization, the Vancouver Real Estate Board. The association Warits the generally established system of minimum rates and also will question the method of payment and non-payment to salesmen as practised by some em- Continued on Page 8 A British Columbia favorite ♦ became of the taste!

The submissionlvas made to a committee of inquiry into the Unemployment Insurance Act. The CLC said that failing an adequate broad plan of social security there would continue lo be a tendency to use unemployment insurance and other programs in ways not originally contemplated. The CLC brief said: "The committee has at least the right, if not the obligation, to recommend that the necessary steps be taken whereby social security in Canada will become more comprehensive and otherwise more satisfactory as a means of protecting people againstvjthe hazards of illness, old age, unemployment and other contingencies which arise in an industrial society and which require collective action ...IN ERIEf MORE—Three more unions thave affiliated to the B.C. Fed- eration of Labour since its last [convention: Distillery Workers I Local 69, Painters Local 1163 and United Papermakersa Local 795. The unions represent about 1,300 members. This brings the new affiliations in the past'year to 16 with a total membership of about 5,000. STRIKE COMMITTEE — B.C. Federation of Labour has set up a strike co-ordinating committee. Representatives from Vancouver and District Labour Council on the committee will be Secretary Paddy Neale, Doug Gibson of Retail Clerks and Jerry LeBourdais of Oil Workers. PLANNING AHEAD — The Union Label Trades Council are already working out plans for its display at the Canadian Labour Congress' national convention which moves to the west coast in 1962.

The committee fill report back to city coun- \l the findings .of its probe. if effective, solutions are to be found. . "Unemployment i n s urance cannot be dealt with in isolation. "Unless there is an aggressive, imaginative and well- planned employment policy, unemployment insurance benefits—however desirable — will not stop the corrosion of human beings if they see no hope of re-employment ahead of them." The CLC submission made 10 specific proposals: 1. A revision of the present system of financing the Act by providing for the payment of seasonal benefits out of consolidated revenue and a change in the ratio of contributions from the present 50:50 (employer and employee) and 20 government to 50:50:50, providing equal contributions from all three parties. workers and their employers. Dealing with benefits, the CLC suggested the committee might consider the possibility of extending rates to recognize the case of persons with more than one dependent and that consideration might also be given to the position of claimants unemployed, for long periods. In opposing experience rating, it was said that experience in the United States showed that this practice did not stabilize employment but rather caused employers to resist the payment of claims since each additional claim was likely to result in increased rates. With experience\_tfating, funds were not built up in good times to meet the needs of bad times. HARRON BROS.

The CLC said il was not opposed to the payment of seasonal benefits to meet special situations but the cost should be borne by the country as a whole and not only by insured Salary range kept secret The practice of keeping job salary structures a secret from employees was criticized this month by March Bluck, president of the Bank Employees Association. Bluck told a meeting of Electrical Workers that neither management nor employ ees should be ashamed to make salary scales public.
