In such an order the conditions under which the general holiday should be granted may be set forth, an alternative day may be substituted, and other matters concerning the calculation of pay could be dealt with in the order. A " general holiday " means New Year's Day, Good Friday, Victoria Day, Dominion Day, Labour Day, Thanksgiving Day, Remembrance Day, and Christmas Day, and includes any day substituted for any such holiday in an order of the Board. Factories Act, 1966 This Act represents a general revision of the Factories Act and the incorporation of major additions thereto. Shops, offices, and office buildings are subject to the legislation as well as factories. Enforcement measures have been clarified and extended, and requirements with regard to safety and sanitation have been up-dated, and new requirements have been inserted. There is included a completely new part dealing with elevating devices. Maternity Protection Act, 1966 This Act represents a revision of the provisions of the Maternity Protection Act. The legislation now applies to all employment except farming and horticultural employment or domestic employment. 11 N 12 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR History of the Department of Labour In British Columbia the discovery of coal and gold in colonial days and the knowledge that the products of the vast hinterlands were readily saleable in other countries was an early indication of future industrialization. The completion of the transcontinental railroad to the Pacific Coast and the opening of the Panama Canal, together with the wider adoption of Occidental methods in the Orient, guaranteed the industrial future of the Province. Up to 1912 certain labour legislation had been passed in British Columbia, but the Government, feeling the Province " was in the formative stage," adopted a laissez faire policy. It had, in the words of Premier McBride, " indicated its desire not to interfere between employer and employee, but to leave hours of labour, wages and so forth to settlement by those interested." On February 27, 1912, a question arose in the Legislature regarding employment agencies, and Premier McBride announced that it was the intention of the Government to appoint a Royal Commission on Labour, " so as to enable Parliament later on to take what steps in the premises seem just and wise." The function of the Commission would be to carefully and completely investigate labour conditions throughout British Columbia in order to secure a report from that source which would deal in a general way with the affairs that especially related to the employment of labour in the Province. " The Government," said the Premier, " intended to make the Commission as representative as conditions would permit, so it might enjoy the confidence of the country." Royal Commission on Labour The Commission was appointed December 4, 1912, and made its submission March 3, 1914. It was composed of Mr. H. G. Parson, of Golden, Chairman; Mr. A. M. Harper, of Vancouver; Mr. J. A. McKelvie, of Vernon; Mr. R. S. Stoney, of New Westminster; and Mr. John Jardine, of Esquimalt. It inquired generally into labour conditions in the Province, the relationship between employers and employees, the payment of wages, the working and enforcement of certain Statutes and any other regulation affecting labour, the precautions taken for the protection of life, preservation of health, and prevention of unsanitary conditions. The Commission held 127 hearings and examined 419 witnesses. Its recommendations in that day may have been judged extreme. Nevertheless, many of those recommendations have since become law, and they are described briefly so that the reader may judge the length of the forward steps that have since been made in the Province. (a) Hours of Work.—Legislation on this point was considered a handicap on the industries of British Columbia in competition with other Provinces, and it was thought that a measure of this kind should be national in character. The hours of shop assistants were thought unduly long, and a Saturday half-holiday was recommended. (b) Minimum Wages.—The request of the Vancouver Trades and Labour Council for a minimum wage of $4 per day was unfavourably received on the grounds that it would destroy such industries in British Columbia as were in competition with Eastern Canada. (c) Payment of Wages.—The Commission expressed itself as in favour of wages at frequent and stated intervals. The establishment of a fortnightly HISTORY OF DEPARTMENT N 13 pay-day was recommended. The uses of time checks which were not negotiable were considered an abuse. It was recommended that such checks be made negotiable, and that labourers when discharged from camps throughout the Province be provided with transportation to the nearest office of the employer where a final settlement of wages could be made. (d) Factory Inspection.—The Commission recommended a more stringent enforcement of the Factories' and Shops' Regulation Acts. It advised the employment of more women inspectors, and the extension of the Factories Act to include many smaller establishments. An examination of all elevator attendants was recommended. (e) Employment Agencies.—The Commission recommended the establishment of municipal labour bureaux in all cities of over 10,000, free service to all in search of employment, and the abolition of the private agency. (/) Workmen's Compensation.—The Commission recommended the adoption of compulsory state insurance and the repeal of the Workmen's Compensation Act. The establishment of a Workmen's Compensation Board " to initiate and control such an insurance scheme " was recommended. Such a scheme, it was said, should be limited to dangerous employments, but other employers could come in on request. All actions at law would be abolished. The employer would be taxed a percentage of his payroll based on the risk of his particular business, and the employee unable to work two weeks from the date of the accident would be given compensation from the date of the accident. Payments would be made weekly. The Board should have the power to commute payments in exceptional circumstances. The scale of compensation was left to the Legislature to decide. (g) Sanitary Conditions.—The Commission found there was a great difference in the standard of maintenance and sanitary conditions in various camps, and recommended Government supervision of construction and maintenance. The sanitary condition of barber-shops and bakeries was also dealt with. (h) Asiatic Exclusion.—The Commission recommended the total exclusion of all Asiatics from Canada, and the statutory prohibition of the employment of white help by Asiatics. (i) Arbitration of Labour Disputes: Discrimination.—The Commission found that the arbitration of labour disputes " would not be possible without the support of the two principal parties . . . and to ensure this would appear to have proved almost impossible." The Commission considered that no employer should be allowed to discriminate against a workman for membership in a union of his choice, and, on the other hand, recommended legislation to protect against intimidation those workmen who choose to continue to work in cases of industrial disputes. The Commission recommended that amendments be made to the (Federal) Industrial Disputes Investigation Act so that the " machinery for investigation could be more readily set in motion." The Commission additionally urged the study of mothers' pensions legislation, recommended free textbooks, and dealt with other matters. With the outbreak of the First Great War in 1914, the implementation of the recommendations of the Commissioners came slowly. In May, 1917, the Legislature passed an Act establishing a Department of Labour in the Province. N 14 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR Department of Labour Act The duties imposed upon the new Department included the administration of laws affecting labour, the dissemination of information on all matters connected with the industrial occupations of the people, the publication of data relating to the industries of the Province, and rates of wages and the establishment of employment bureaux. The Department was also required to report on industrial conditions and the operation of labour laws in other countries. It was required to consider any petition suggesting a change in labour laws, or any matter affecting industrial classes presented by any Trades or Labour Council or any other organization, and to perform any other duties prescribed from time to time by the Legislature. The Minister of Labour and his officers were given adequate powers to obtain the information required under the Act. The first Minister of Labour was the Honourable J. W. de Farris. He was appointed on May 23, 1917, and held the portfolio until April 11, 1922. The Deputy Minister was Mr. J. D. McNiven. Labour Standards Annual Reports of the Department for 1917 and 1918 indicate that there were a number of organizations interested in social reform actively discussing the question of minimum wages for women and girls and pressing for legislation governing these matters. In July, 1918, the first Minimum Wage Board of the Province, consisting of three members, was set up to administer the provisions of the Women's Minimum Wage Act, which had been enacted earlier in the year. This Board dealt with minimum wages and conditions of employment with respect to female employees. It was not until 1925 that legislation was passed relating to the establishment of minimum wages applying to male employees. Prior to 1934 the Hours of Work Act, a Statute passed in December, 1923, had been administered by the three-member Board of Adjustment which was established in January, 1925. The Board of Adjustment also, until the Male Minimum Wage Act of 1925 was repealed and a new Male Minimum Wage Act was passed by the Legislature on March 20, 1929, had jurisdiction over the matter of minimum wages for male employees. With the enactment of the Male Minimum Wage Act oil 929, a Male Minimum Wage Board was established to exercise control over minimum wages for male employees. The Male Minimum Wage Board consisted of three members and functioned during the years 1929 to 1934. When the Male Minimum Wage Act of 1934 was passed by the Legislature, provision was made in that Statute for the establishment of a board consisting of five members, to be known as the Board of Industrial Relations. The Board was established in April, 1934, and was charged with the duties and responsibilities formerly connected with three separate boards—namely, the Minimum Wage Board, the Board of Adjustment, and the Male Minimum Wage Board. The Board of Industrial Relations has continued to function since that time, and one of its original members was Mrs. F. Eaton, O.B.E. In its operations the Board holds public hearings in various parts of the Province and hears representations from labour organizations, employers, church groups, women's organizations, and others and has recently revised a number of its Orders. At present, Minimum Wage Orders apply in various industries and occupations, and the rates range up to $2 an hour. The principle has been established that overtime shall be paid for hours worked in excess of 8 hours in the day and 40 hours in the week. HISTORY OF DEPARTMENT N 15 In 1917 the Semi-monthly Payment of Wages Act was introduced to protect the wages of employees by ensuring that all wages earned were paid in full at least twice in the month. The Act was replaced by the Payment of Wages Act in 1962 in order to provide greater protection. In addition to requiring that wages shall be paid at least as often as semi-monthly, the Act states that all wages must be paid in lawful currency or by cheque, subject to certain authorized deductions. Under the revised Act the Board of Industrial Relations may adjudicate claims for unpaid wages, and where wages are found to be owing may issue a certificate setting forth the unpaid wages, which certificate may be filed in a Court. When so filed, such certificate has the same force and effect as if it were a judgment of that Court for recovery of a debt. The first Act in British Columbia providing for annual vacations was the Annual Holidays Act. It became effective in 1946 and required that employees should be given one week's holiday for each year's service based on one-eighth of a day's pay for each week of actual work performed. Later the Act was amended to change the method of calculation to 2 per cent of an employee's earnings, and in 1957 it was again amended to provide for two weeks' vacation with pay based on 4 per cent of the total wages and salary earned by employees. Following further minor amendments, the name of the Act was changed to the Annual and General Holidays Act in 1966, and provision was made for the Board of Industrial Relations to issue an Order providing for certain statutory holidays with pay. Enforcement of Minimum Wage Orders, Hours of Work Regulations, the Annual and General Holidays Act, the Control of Employment of Children Act, investigations with regard to applications for certification, and apprenticeship training came under the jurisdiction of the general administration of the Department until 1966. In that year the Labour Standards Branch was created, and it assumed responsibility for the administration of these requirements. During 1966, 40,931 calls were made upon employers, and adjustments for wages and holiday pay amounted to $356,042.99. Workmen's Compensation At the same time that a Royal Commission was considering labour legislation, a group headed by Mr. A. V. Pineo was investigating workmen's compensation matters, and on March 1, 1916, submitted a report to the Legislature. During the same session a new Workmen's Compensation Act was passed, coming into effect in 1917. The Act introduced a new concept in accident prevention, not only from the economic angle of placing a price on work injuries, but by bringing about a realization that the distress and suffering of accidents was a matter that affected everybody and required the co-operative efforts of all concerned. Benefits have increased tremendously since the Act was first introduced; for instance, pensions paid to widows in 1917 amounted to $20 a month, while today they are $122.04 a month. In 1917 the allowance paid for dependent children was $5 a month; today it is $42.45 per month under 16 years of age, $47.75 per month for those between 16 and 18 if at school, and $53.06 per month for those between 18 and 21 if at school. Other benefits and conditions have also greatly improved, and many new benefits have been added. ^^M N 16 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR Labour Relations Formal Government interest in collective bargaining began in 1894 when the Legislature passed the Labour Conciliation and Arbitration Act. It provided for Councils of Conciliation to be selected from a list of nominees submitted by employers and labour organizations. From this panel two nominees were selected by the disputants and appointed by the Lieutenant-Governor in Council. The nominees, in turn, selected a chairman. The services of these Councils were not available unless both parties so desired. In the 28 years the Statute remained on the books, there is no record of advantage being taken of its provisions; as a result, it was repealed in 1922. Among the several matters dealt with by the Royal Commission on Labour of 1912 was the arbitration of labour disputes, which it claimed "would not be possible without the support of the two principal parties . . . and to ensure this would appear to be almost impossible." In 1925 the Province passed the Industrial Disputes Investigation Act (B.C.), which was applicable to every dispute subject to the legislative jurisdiction of the Province. The Act referred only to certain industries, and in others provided that Departmental assistance could only be made available with the consent of the disputant parties. Experience taught that such assistance was by then usually fruitless, and the Department came to the conclusion that there would be greater opportunity for industrial peace if the parties were given assistance in resolving their difficulties before strike action took place. Research Preceded Legislation In December, 1937, after an exhaustive study of industrial disputes, legislation in Great Britain, the Dominions of the Commonwealth, the United States of America, and Scandinavian countries, the Government enacted the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act, which repealed the Industrial Disputes Investigation Act (B.C.) The new legislation provided that employees could bargain collectively with their employer, through representatives duly elected by a majority vote of the employees. A dispute between the parties could be referred to a Conciliation Officer, and if the Officer failed to resolve the matter, it could be referred to a Board of Arbitration. These Boards were empowered to make recommendations only, and the right to strike was not denied. Wartime Labour Relations Regulations During the war years, the Province, in co-operation with the Government of Canada, administered the Wartime Labour Relations Regulations (P.C. 1003). The legislation provided, for the first time, for the functioning of a Labour Relations Board in the Province and the process of certification. Functions of the Board were discharged by the then Minister of Labour, the Honourable George S. Pearson, .and the decisions of the Board were subject to appeal to the wartime Labour Relations Board (National) of Canada. In April, 1947, the Provincial Government enacted a new Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act, and this was replaced by the Labour Relations Act on April 14, 1954. Amendments in succeeding years have brought about more flexibility in the handling of disputes, made provision for expediting the settlement of grievances, and improved the procedures regarding matters pertaining to collective bargaining. HISTORY OF DEPARTMENT N 17 Applications for Conciliation Officers, which have risen from 6 in 1938 to a present annual average of 403, are handled through the office of the Chief Executive Officer. Here they are processed and assigned to a Conciliation Officer. The Officer, after meeting the disputants and endeavouring to resolve the dispute, may report settlement or recommend that (1) the dispute be referred to a Conciliation Board; (2) under section 29 (1) of the Labour Relations Act, his recommendations be substituted for those of a Conciliation Board; or (3) under section 29 (2) of the Act, no Conciliation Board be appointed. Action under section 29 (2) is taken only in those cases in which the parties are deadlocked, where the application of other sections of the Act appears fruitless, and where an alternative is required so that the parties may come to grips with reality in as short a time as possible. Should the dispute be not resolved by any of these steps and a strike is imminent or in effect, the Branch offers the services of one of its officers as a mediator. These efforts to resolve disputes have been markedly successful. A three-year sample reveals that 73 cases, involving 106 employers and 9,869 employees, were referred to Conciliation Officers as mediators. In each of these cases, during strikes or where the machinery of the Labour Relations Act had been exhausted and strike action was anticipated, mediators resolved the disputes and settlements ensued. It is also interesting to note that over the years Conciliation Officers have settled 45 per cent of all disputes referred to them. This figure does not take into account those settlements brought about by recommendations under section 29 (1) of the Statute or through the process of mediation, following Board reports, or strike or lockout votes. Amongst their duties, Conciliation Officers are usually appointed to conduct the taking and counting of strike votes. A five-year average shows that 164 such votes have been taken each year. Information Service The Department of Labour has found that a wide public knowledge of Branch activities is essential to efficient operation. For many years the Department, through the Labour Relations Branch, has published a Summary of Activities, which is descriptive of work done by the Labour Relations Board, the conciliation service, Conciliation Boards, and Industrial Inquiry Commissions. Trade-unions Act In 1959 the Trade-unions Act of 1902 was repealed, and a new Act having the same name was introduced. The new Act established the following principles:— (a) The circumstances in which information may be given in labour disputes: (b) The circumstances in which ex parte injunctions may be granted; and (c) The legal status of the parties involved in labour disputes. Factories Inspection Branch In 1908 the first Factories Act in the Province's history became law, and at the same time a Factories Branch was created as part of the Provincial Secretary's Department. With the formation of the Department of Labour in 1917, the Factories Inspection Branch was absorbed into that Department. The Branch dealt with health, and factory and elevator safety. N 18 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR Since those early times the Branch has always concerned itself with the various physical features which affect the working conditions of industrial workers. From an inspectional point of view this holds true today, in spite of all the changes that have taken place in the design of factories in over half a century of progress. Sophisticated washrooms have replaced detached waterclosets. Controlled automatic heating has supplanted the pot-bellied stove. Fluorescent, neon, and mercury lighting have substantially replaced incandescent lamps, and the coal-oil lamps of the early days are a thing of the past. Ventilation over the years has been achieved mostly by mechanical rather than natural means. Refuse from the industrial processes is now also removed mechanically to protect workers and to keep our factories clean. Over the years, Inspectors of the Branch have seen many devices of modern science come to their aid in improving working conditions. They have also noted many manual tasks of the pioneering era replaced by machines of countless variety. While mechanization of today's factory has replaced outmoded methods, it has created many new problems for the Inspectors. This also holds true in the elevator field. During this period, elevators have developed to become the only form of fully automated public transportation. To cope with the problems presented by both factories and elevators and in order to protect both industrial workers and the public, the Branch examines and approves plans for the alteration and construction of factories and elevating devices. When new factories are constructed, they are inspected to see that they conform with the plans as approved. The same procedure applies to elevating devices and, as a further precaution, recognized tests are made before they may be used. On a continuing basis, Factory Inspectors make routine inspections to determine the adequacy of the following: Sanitation, lighting, heating, cleanliness, painting, ventilation, exhaust systems, lunchrooms, washrooms, restrooms, and air contamination from substances toxic or otherwise to determine any need for exhausting equipment. The Factories Division of the Branch is also responsible for controlling industrial homework. Coverage under the Factories Act was extended in 1966 to include stores, offices, and office buildings, and inspections are now carried out on these premises to ensure that the same high standards of health and safety are observed. The routine inspections conducted by Elevator Inspectors, also on a continuous basis, cover the inspection of all safety devices from the machine-room, throughout the hoistway, to the pit. The owners of elevating devices welcome and co-operate wholeheartedly with this service. Indeed, they take pride in displaying the inspection certificate issued by the Inspector. Indian Affairs The Indian Inquiry Act, which came into force on March 29, 1950, was administered by the Department of Labour. In 1951 a Provincial Advisory Committee on Indian Affairs was established, with the Government extending, wherever possible, the same services to Indians as to the rest of the population of British Columbia. Improved education, apprenticeship, and vocational training opportunities resulted in higher employment and better jobs. In addition, arts and handicrafts are encouraged. The administration of this Branch was transferred to the Department of the Provincial Secretary in 1962. HISTORY OF DEPARTMENT N 19 Employment Service When the Department of Labour was started in 1917, Canada was at war and 50,000 British Columbians were serving with the armed forces. In anticipation of the return of these men, the Provincial Government entered into an agreement with the Minister of Labour for Canada under the provisions of the Employment Offices Co-ordination Act whereby free Government employment offices were established, with part of the cost borne by the Dominion Government. In June, 1918, the first Free Employment Bureau was opened in Vancouver, and at the end of 1919 there was a chain of them throughout the Province. The offices operated for many years, assisting thousands of persons to find employment. This Provincial service terminated in 1940, when the Federal Government entered the field following agreement with the Province and an amendment to the British North America Act. Human Rights Legislation Under this heading the Provincial Government has enacted legislation assuring the rights of all citizens and establishing certain principles. These are:— Control of Employment of Children Act, which provides that a child under 15 years of age may not be employed in certain industries or occupations unless a permit has been issued by the Minister of Labour. Equal Pay Act. This Act was proclaimed December 31, 1953. It prohibits discrimination between male and female employees with respect to rates of pay in any case where a female does the same work as a male for the same employer in the same establishment. The Fair Employment Practices Act, which was passed in 1956, is designed to prevent discrimination in regard to employment and membership in trade unions by reason of race, religion, nationality, ancestry, place of origin, or age if the person has attained the age of 45 years and has not attained the age of 65 years. The Public Accommodation Practices Act, passed in 1961, prohibits any person from denying accommodation, services, or facilities customarily available to the public to any person because of race, religion, colour, nationality, ancestry, or place of origin. Women's Bureau This special branch of the Department was created in 1966 in recognition of the growing importance of women in the labour force. The Bureau examines and evaluates information, legislation, and conditions relevant to the employment of women. It initiates research studies, determines trends, and provides information on training, employment opportunities, benefits, practices, and conditions affecting working-women. The Bureau compiles comprehensive reports; examines existing legislation in such areas as equal pay for equal work, minimum wages, and employment benefits; and recommends changes to keep abreast of trends and needs. The Bureau assembles a considerable amount of information of interest to women and makes it available to employees, trade unions, and employers. The Bureau also develops channels of communication and liaison with such public and private agencies as women's groups, employer and labour organizations, the Federal and other Provincial Departments of Labour to facilitate the continual exchange of information concerning women in employment. The Bureau also advises on programmes for the training, retraining, and up-grading of women. N 20 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR Compensation Counsellor Assists Many Workmen In July, 1954, the office of Compensation Counsellor was created and a Counsellor appointed. He is an official of the Department of Labour and is separate and independent of the Workmen's Compensation Board. He gives guidance without charge to a workman with regard to the best method of proceeding with his claim under the Workmen's Compensation Act, and also advises him what appeal procedure may be open and what steps he may take. Approximately 400 claimants and dependents request and receive assistance each year from the Compensation Counsellor. Each claimant's file is carefully perused by the Compensation Counsellor at the head office of the Workmen's Compensation Board. This is done in order to decide on the appeal procedure to recommend. Many of the claims are taken up with the medical or legal claims departments of the Board. Failing here, presentations are prepared and presented for appeal to the Board of Review, and then, if necessary, to the Board of Commissioners. Such presentations on behalf of individual claims are made on receipt of new medical or factual corroborating evidence. It is not always necessary that the claimant or his witnesses be present. If important detailed information or evidence is lacking, the Compensation Counsellor will request the Board to conduct further field investigations or inquiry hearings to obtain any additional information that may be available. When there is necessity for reopening previously finalized claims or old claims due to a recurrent disability or injury, the Compensation Counsellor advises and assists in the proper procedures. When all procedures have been exhausted at the Board offices, and particularly when a bona fide medical dispute yet remains to be resolved in connection with some of the claims, the Compensation Counsellor may recommend to the claimant that he make an appeal to the Medical Review Panel and will assist the claimant in making this appeal. The Medical Review Panel is separate and apart from the Workmen's Compensation Board. A review of the files and examination of the claimant by this impartial panel is usually the last review allowed under this Act. The recommendations of this panel of specialists are conclusive and binding on the Workmen's Compensation Board as to matters certified on the date of the examination. Approximately once each month, trips of a week to ten days' duration are made by the Compensation Counsellor to Vancouver Island or to the Interior of the Province. Hospitals, convalescence institutions, and various retraining-schools are visited for discussions with administration authorities and with claimants who are patients. Claimants, injured workmen, and witnesses are advised of the dates the Compensation Counsellor will be in their areas. Interviews and discussions are also held with attending physicians, qualified practitioners, lawyers, trade-union officials, and other professional people connected with or involved in a particular case. Research Branch This Branch was established within the Department in April, 1966. It is staffed by economists and research personnel who study manpower needs and trends in considerable detail. The Branch studies manpower requirements extensively, indicating what new courses and methods of training should be undertaken and suggesting which courses should be altered to meet changing requirements. It is expected that by carrying out the recommendations of the research staff, the Department will be able to provide the greatest possible opportunity to the largest HISTORY OF DEPARTMENT N 21 number of persons to obtain good jobs at good rates of pay and to avoid training persons for obsolete skills. A further function of the Branch is to study trends and practices in labour relations, particularly as indicated by an analysis of the collective agreements on file. It also studies the latest thinking and developments in other jurisdictions so that those concerned with negotiations in British Columbia may be fully apprised of current happenings in other jurisdictions and therefore be in a better position to enter into more satisfactory collective agreements in this Province. Apprenticeship Training The participation of government in apprenticeship training began in British Columbia in 1935. Prior to that time, apprenticeship was unregulated, and was largely confined to those employers who could anticipate requirements for skilled men in their own future operation. The printing trade had introduced an industrywide system of apprenticeship, and certain of the larger industrial establishments were involved in internal apprenticeshap training programmes as early as World War I. Later, in 1925, the General Contractors' Association and the Building Trades Council in the City of Vancouver united in an effort to improve the status of apprenticeship by organizing the Vancouver Apprenticeship Council. The principal objective of this body was the promotion of training in the building trades on a voluntary basis. While training remained on this basis, little could be done to introduce a really effective training programme. The Vancouver Apprenticeship Council, acting with organized labour and employer groups, requested the Government to consider enacting legislation governing apprenticeship, feeling that in this way a system fair to all could be brought into force. In line with this request, the Government presented to the 1935 Legislative Assembly An Act respecting the Training of Apprentices, which was assented to on the 23rd of March of that year. The objects of the Act were fourfold:— (1) The establishment of a regulated system of apprenticeship in industries that were dependent on skilled help: (2) The setting of regulations that would ensure the youth of the Province proper training and the opportunity to become skilled craftsmen under uniform and fair conditions: (3) The correlation of technical education in the technical and vocational schools with practical training in industry, so as to offer the best medium for the advancement of apprentices: (4) The elimination of unfair practices in the employment of youth in industries suitable for apprenticeship training. Under the Act the Lieutenant-Governor in Council was empowered to appoint a Provincial Apprenticeship Committee to advise the Minister of Labour on all matters connected with the general conditions governing apprenticeship, including the designation of trades to be made subject to the provisions of the Act. Provincial Apprenticeship Committee A Provincial Apprenticeship Committee was appointed in August, 1935, and on its recommendation the Act was proclaimed on the 9th of September, 1935, with carpentry and joinery (benchwork), painting and decorating, plastering, sheet-metal N 22 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR work, plumbing and steamiitting, and electrical work being designated for regulated apprenticeship. Arrangements were made for representative delegations of employers and employees in each trade to appear before the Provincial Apprenticeship Committee. Following these hearings, tentative regulations were drawn up and referred to the representatives. Due to the compulsory features of the Act, the Committee felt that it was desirable to set minimum conditions to cover a very broad field of varying circumstances and in such a manner that the opportunity to learn a trade was open to a sufficiently large number of young people. In January, 1936, following further negotiations, regulations and minimum scales were approved and the enforcement of the Act commenced. About the same date the automotive industry, through its various associations, made application to be designated for apprenticeship training. This industry could offer regular employment, and in this respect presented conditions which were somewhat more favourable for the training of apprentices than the building trades, where seasonal and intermittent employment frequently interfered with a consistent training programme. In February, 1936, regulations and conditions were approved and the industry brought under the Act. In the next few years, sign and pictorial painting, ship and boat building, servicing and repair of electrical appliances, jewellery manufacture and repair, lithography, machinist, pattern-making, boiler-making, aviation mechanic, moulding, and pharmaceutical chemist were added to the list of designated trades. Today 31 are covered by the Act. Amendments to the Act were made on several occasions to meet changing conditions, and in 1955 the original legislation was replaced by the Apprenticeship and Tradesmen's Qualification Act, under which the following programmes are conducted:— The basic apprenticeship programme consists of special technical- and vocational-school training in conjunction with employment experience in industry. Apprentices are indentured to employers, under whose guidance the practical aspects of the trade are learned. During the period of apprenticeship, usually four or five years, the apprentice receives gradually increasing wages from his employer and periodically attends special classes at a vocational school. The technical training classes are provided by the Department of Labour and are conducted in the British Columbia Vocational Schools at Burnaby, Kelowna, Nanaimo, Nelson, Victoria, Dawson Creek, and Prince George and in other schools at Trail, Vancouver, and Victoria. In some instances the apprentice is released from employment for periods of four to eight weeks to attend full-time day classes, and under other circumstances is enrolled in evening classes outside of his working hours. The pre-apprenticeship programme was started in 1957 with classes for the trades of automotive mechanics, bricklaying, boat-building, carpentry, lathing, plastering, plumbing and steamiitting, and sheet-metal work. These classes were all held in Vancouver, with the exception of automotive mechanics, which was conducted at Nanaimo. The scope of the pre-aoprenticeship programme has broadened to meet the needs and anticipated requirements of industry. Not only have more trades been included, but the number of classes and locations throughout the Province have been substantially increased. At the present time there are ore- apprenticeship classes offered in the following trades at the locations indicated:— Automotive mechanical repair: Burnaby, Kelowna, Nanaimo, Nelson, and Prince George. HISTORY OF DEPARTMENT N 23 Automotive body repair: Kelowna. Benchwork and joinery: Burnaby. Boiler-making: Burnaby. Bricklaying: Burnaby. Carpentry: Burnaby and Kelowna. Cooking: Dawson Creek. Electronics: Burnaby. Electrical: Burnaby. Heavy-duty mechanics: Burnaby, Kelowna, Nanaimo, Nelson and Prince George. Heavy-duty mechanics (farm equipment): Kelowna. Logging (basic): Nanaimo. Millwright: Nelson and Prince George. Parks gardening: Victoria. Painting and decorating: Burnaby. Pile-driver and bridgeman: Burnaby. Plumbing and steamiitting: Burnaby. Sheet-metal work: Burnaby. Sign-painting: Burnaby. Structural-steel erection: Burnaby. The tradesmen's qualification certification programme was initiated in November, 1955, by an Order in Council authorizing the issuing of certificates of proficiency to refrigeration mechanics. During the following year the trades of automobile maintenance and electronics were added to the programme, and in 1966 the trades of plumbing, steamfitting and pipefitting, sprinkler-fitting, millwrighting, and domestic radio and television servicing were approved for the issuance of certificates of proficiency. Until a tradesmen's qualification certification programme became effective, certificates were available only to those persons who had completed a contract of apprenticeship in British Columbia. A tradesman, regardless of his ability, could not otherwise obtain a certificate indicating his qualifications. Orginally the legislation provided only for a voluntary system of examination, and no tradesman could be compelled to obtain a certificate. Subsequent amendments to the Act allow for compulsory certification in any trade. Examining Boards for determining the qualifications of tradesmen are appointed by the Department, and each Board consists of two persons from industry, one of whom represents employers and the other employees, along with a chairman, who is an official of the Department. However, there is no limit to the number of Examining Boards that may be appointed. In the case of automotive mechanics, Examining Boards are appointed in Kelowna, Nanaimo, Nelson, Prince George, Vancouver, and Victoria, and there are indications that more Boards will be required soon to properly service the industry. Administration of the activities under the Apprenticeship and Tradesmen's Qualification Act is a Provincial responsibility through the Apprenticeship and Industrial Training Branch of the Department of Labour. A Director, Assistant Director, Examinations Co-ordinator, and a staff of Apprenticeship and Industrial Training Counsellors along with stenographic and clerical staff are available throughout the Province. The Director's office is located in Vancouver, and Apprenticeship and Industrial Training Counsellors are stationed at Department offices located in Kelowna, Dawson Creek, Nelson, Prince George, and Victoria. N 24 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR So that the training will be realistic for the several thousands of pre- apprenticeship students and indentured apprentices in the plan, there are Trade Advisory Committees composed of men from industry from whom the Department receives valuable advice regarding the standard of curriculum and examination. In this way there is assurance that industry is being properly served with practical training. Although the programmes are Provincially operated, it does not mean that Provincial standards exist in isolation. Through the co-ordinating efforts of the Federal Government, the Provinces of Canada co-operate in establishing as much uniformity as possible so that tradesmen graduating from the apprenticeship programmes of every Province will be of relatively high proficiency. To this end, a series of Canadian Interprovincial Standards Examinations for apprenticeship have been developed jointly by the Provinces participating in the Federal-Interprovincial Training Agreement. Similar co-operation is being developed regarding tradesmen's qualifications for persons who are beyond the apprenticeship programme. To provide the school facilities, equipment and materials, and the administration of such a broad training programme is expensive and beyond the means of the individuals taking part. The cost is not levied against the trainee or the employer, but is borne by government as one means of providing continuing education for the work force and of developing the expansion of industry in the Province. HIGHLIGHTS OF 1966 N 25 Highlights of the 1966 Statistical Report on Trades and Industries Presented in the following pages is the 49th report in the annual statistical series issued by the Department. This review of the year 1966 touches briefly on the various elements of change occurring during the past 12 months, and the general effect of these fluctuations on the British Columbia worker. Strength through competition became the keynote in the booming economy which swept the Province during the greater part of the year. Production levels, employment, and wages carried upward, with the impact of new work methods and technological change fast becoming realities in the new era. Despite some difficulties in foreign markets and labour troubles at home during the latter months of the year, production totals in most major indicators were well ahead in 1966. Total labour income in wages and salaries, which amounted to some $2,731 ,- 000,000 in 1965, was estimated at $3,200,000,000 for 1966, up over 17 per cent. While during the year the labour force increased by approximately 40,000 to a high of 753,000 workers, of which over 96 per cent were employed, the jobless rate at its low point of 3.6 per cent of the total in August did not quite reach the previous low mark of 2.8 per cent recorded during the same period in 1965. Industrial wage levels, however, continued higher, pressured by rising consumer prices and the growing weight of organized labour in its drive for new contracts at higher rates of pay. The average weekly composite figure representing wages and salaries was estimated at $108.50 for 1966, up 7.7 per cent from the final 1965 average of $100.71. The monthly index of aggregate payrolls (now based on the census year 1961 as 100) showed an average gain of 17 per cent for the first six months of 1966 in comparison with the first half of 1965. Employment by Industrial Classification A continued high level of employment was maintained during the early months of the year in spite of interruption in some areas due to severe winter conditions. By the end of the first quarter, no slackening had been noted in the high rate of production in the lumber-manufacturing industries, and the upward movement in employment also continued in the pulp and paper industry, mining, construction, and the service industries. With seasonal improvement in weather during the early spring months, the emphasis was on major developments in the northern areas, and construction totals climbed rapidly to register unprecedented gains. The average industrial composite employment index for the first six months of 1966 climbed to 122.8 from 113.0 recorded for the first six months of the previous year, a gain of 8.7 per cent. During the summer months considerable disruption in the employment pattern was occasioned by labour unrest, with disputes occurring in various sections of the manufacturing and construction industries, and subsequent disputes brought setbacks in the railway and transportation industries and the operation of ship-loading and storage facilities. Because of the adoption of revised employment series data, there was some delay in obtaining the Federal employment figures for the later months in 1966. N 26 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR The preliminary examination of employment trends occurring in the various industries has therefore been based on the first six months for which information was available. Largest employment gains during the first six months of 1966 were noted in the construction industry, up 27.6 per cent in comparison with the first six months of 1965. Next largest gains occurred in the pulp and paper industries, up 14.2 per cent, and the mining industry, up 12.9 per cent during the first six months of the year. The services industries continued higher, with employment up 11.5 per cent over the same period in 1965. Employment in wholesale and retail trade increased by 8.5 per cent in comparison with the first six months of the previous year. Manufacturing totals were ahead by 7.4 per cent over the same period in 1965, despite somewhat less activity in ship building and repair, which was off 1.7 per cent from the high figures established in this industry during the early months of the previous year. The table following records the index figures which show the employment trend in the major divisions of British Columbia industry, and includes the industrial composite figure for the years 1961 to 1966. Monthly index figures of employment are shown for the 12 months of 1965 and the first six months of 1966.

HIGHLIGHTS OF 1966 N 35 Labour Income Annual estimates of total wages and salaries in British Columbia reached record levels in 1966. That portion of total labour income attributable to wages and salaries is segregated in a new series recently made available by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, Ottawa, which indicates, on a monthly and annual basis, the revised estimates for Canada and the Provinces. Due to an extensive programme of revision in the monthly series of statistical data, current figures for a review of the full year 1966 have not become available in time for this Report. The annual estimate of total wages and salaries in British Columbia for 1966 is therefore formulated on the basis of monthly totals for the first eight months, and should be considered as preliminary only, and subject to correction as complete information becomes available. On the basis of Federal figures currently available, the monthly totals of wages and salaries in British Columbia during the first eight months of 1966 were running some 16.4 per cent ahead of comparative totals for the previous year. If this trend continued during the year, it is estimated that the preliminary figure representing total wages and salaries for the 12 months of 1966 would approximate $3,200,000,000.

Monthly estimates of labour income from wages and salaries are set out in Table 3a in comparison with similar totals for the previous year. Peak month in 1965 was September, when the British Columbia total was estimated at $247,900,000. While the comparative record for the full year 1966 is not available in time for this Report, monthly payrolls for the first eight months of the year were consistently ahead of previous records, and had reached a high of $277,000,000 by July, with peak figures expected later in the year.

N 36 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR Hours of Work On an industry-wide basis, the trend in average working-time has remained comparatively stable for the past two years. While during this period monthly changes in industrial activity are reflected in fractional increase or decrease in the recorded average hours worked, in most cases the increase in one area is offset by a slight decrease in another. It is significant that the average index number representing the weekly working-hours in 15 classifications of employment in British Columbia remained at 37.9 hours during 1965 and 1964. During the first six months of 1966 some smaU decreases in durable-goods manufacturing were largely offset by slightly longer hours in non-durables. Labour disputes were responsible for small fluctuations in the working-time recorded for some industries. Seasonal increases occurred in various manufacturing industries, but were later offset to some extent by losses due to interruption of the work pattern by strike action. The only major increases noted were in the construction industry, with the emphasis on longer hours in engineering and heavy construction. Compared with Hours Fig. 6.

HIGHLIGHTS OF 1966 N 37 a similar period in 1965, the first six months in 1966 showed working-hours for construction as a whole averaging 40.9, up from 37.0 during the first six months of 1965. Much of the increase here was due to longer hours worked in the engineering sector, heavily weighted by large employment factors. Average hours in engineering climbed to 43.3 during the first six months of 1966, compared with 38.1 weekly averaged during the same months of 1965. Building in general showed a work-week of 39.2 hours, up from 36.3 hours for the same period in the previous year. Manufacturing industries as a whole remained almost unchanged at 37.9 hours, although fractional increases were noted in food-processing, fruit and vegetable canning, and pulp and paper manufacturing. Minor decreases were noted in average time worked during the first six months in primary metal industries, woodworking plants, and ship-building. Revised figures for average working-hours in the industries included in the survey are shown in the tables which follow. Since the conversion of previous figures to the 1961 time base is currently in progress, and the historical series has not yet become available for earlier years, the chart used in this section indicates the trend in average weekly hours in selected industries from 1961 to 1966. Earnings Phenomenal expansion in the labour force, with higher wage scales generally effective during the greater part of the year, resulted in a continued upswing in the general level of earnings during 1966. Longer hours at higher hourly rates in the heavy engineering and construction fields were factors in the sharp increase of payroll totals over previous years. During the first six months of 1966, the industrial composite figure representing over-all average weekly salaries and wages in British Columbia was running some 7.7 per cent ahead of the previous year. The industrial composite figure of average weekly wages and salaries in British Columbia for 1966 was estimated at $108.50, up from $100.71 recorded as the average weekly figure in 1965. Greatest gains were noted in the construction industries, with average wages and salaries ahead in some areas by over 28 per cent during the first six months of the year. Much of this increase was due to longer hours in heavy construction at increased hourly rates of pay, following completion of new wage agreements in this industry. Service workers shared in some of the highest increases, with salaries and wages during the first six months of 1966 more than 9 per cent higher than during the comparative months of 1965. Preliminary averages for the first six months of 1966 showed salaries and wages in manufacturing running some 4.8 per cent above the previous year. Workers in pulp and paper manufacturing were first, with the six months' average up over 8 per cent, while salaries and wages in food and beverage manufacturing and ship-building showed gains of 5.0 and 4.8 per cent respectively in comparison with early months of 1965. Salaries and wages in transportation, communication, and other utilities averaged gains of better than 7 per cent during the same comparative period. Earnings in wholesale and retail trade averaged 5 per cent higher than comparative levels for the previous year. Based on the trend established during the first five months of the year, the preliminary weekly figure for salaries and wages in manufacturing was estimated at $110 for 1966, up from the final average of $105.09 noted in this section for 1965. Summary tables which follow include the comparative earnings for workers in various major classifications of business and industry for 1966 and earlier years. Due to many changes presently occurring in the source data, and pending further revision of material for earlier years, historical tables shown begin with the census year 1961.

Sir,—We have the honour to present the thirty-third annual report of the Board of Industrial Relations for the year ended December 31, 1966. Meetings and Delegations The Board held 52 meetings during the year. Hearings were held in Vancouver, Victoria, Kelowna, Nelson, and Prince George to hear representations in connection with the revision of any one or all Minimum Wage Orders, and the making of an Order under section 10a of the Annual and General Holidays Act requiring employers to give employees certain general holidays with pay. These hearings were well attended, and representatives of employer associations, trade unions, and other organizations submitted briefs to the Board in connection with these matters. The Board had not completed its deliberations in connection with the representations at December 31, 1966. The annual regulation permitting persons in retail establishments to work certain additional hours during the Christmas season was the only regulation made. BOARD OF INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS N 45 Conclusion The Board takes this opportunity to thank all organizations, employers, employees, and trade unions for the co-operation extended during the year 1966. We have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servants, W. H. Sands, Chairman. Fraudena Eaton. G. A. Little. C. Murdoch. P. Baskin. J. R. Edgett. R. S. S. Wilson. N 46 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR Control of Employment of Children Act Unless a permit has been granted to the employer by the Minister of Labour or a person duly authorized by him to issue such permits, the employment of children under 15 years of age in certain designated occupations or industries is prohibited by the Control of Employment of Children Act. In order that the health and scholastic standing of the children will not be adversely affected by their work in industry or business, the Department works in close co-operation with the school authorities and the parents or guardians of the children. Permits are issued only when it has been established that the child's health will not suffer, and that the work will not expose the boy or girl to unsafe conditions or interfere with their standing in school. The Schedule to the Act specifies and defines the occupations or industries for which permits are required; these include:— (1) Manufacturing industry. (2) Ship-building industry. (3) Generation of electricity or motive power of any kind. (4) Logging industry. (5) Construction industry. (6) Catering industry. (7) Public places of amusement. (8) Mercantile industry. (9) Shoe-shine stands. (10) Automobile service-stations. (11) Transportation industry. (12) Laundry, cleaning and dyeing industry.

A difference in the rate of pay between a female and a male employee based on any factor other than sex is not a violation of the Act. One complaint was received in 1966, which, after consultation with the complainant, was withdrawn. Summary of Proceedings under the Equal Pay Act Totals, 1954 to 1966, Inclusive Employers Complaints Involved Complaints received 37x 11 Complaints referred to Industrial Relations Officer 34 8 Complaints settled by Industrial Relations Officer 16 5 Complaints referred to the Board 17 2 Complaints withdrawn 2 2 i In the case of one complaint the Act did not apply. In another the wage differential was based on a factor other than sex and was therefore not a violation of the Act. N 48 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR Fair Employment Practices Act This Act, which was passed in 1956 and amended in 1964, is designed to prevent discrimination in regard to employment and membership in trade unions by reason of race, religion, nationality, ancestry, place of origin, and age if the person has attained the age of 45 years and has not attained the age of 65 years. The use or circulation of " application for employment" forms or advertisements in connection with employment which express directly or indirectly any limitation or preference as to the race, etc., of any person is prohibited, unless the preference or limitation is based upon a bona fide occupational qualification. The principle underlying section 5 of the Act is that a person's race, religion, colour, nationality, ancestry, place of origin, or age rarely affect his work performance, and normally should not be the subject for employment inquiries which he is expected or required to answer. Reduced to its minima terms, the " application for employment" form would only show the individual merits and qualifications of prospective employees with regard to the jobs to be filled. The Act does not apply to an employer who employs less than five employees, or to any exclusively charitable, philanthropic, educational, fraternal, religious, or social organization that is not operated for profit, or to any organization that is operated primarily to foster the welfare of a religious or racial group and is not operated for profit. Institutions operating under the provisions of the Public Schools Act, are, however, subject to the legislation. The limitations in the Act with respect to age do not apply to (a) termination of employment because of the terms or conditions of any bona fide retirement or pension plan; (b) operation of the terms or conditions of any bona fide retirement or pension plan which have the effect of a minimum service requirement; (c) operation of the terms or conditions of any bona fide group or employee insurance plan. Numerous letters were sent to advertisers seeking job applicants drawing particular attention to the provisions of the Act dealing with age discrimination. The principle of the provision in the Act regarding this matter is that every individual will have equal opportunity to compete for, or to hold, any job for which he may be qualified, without regard to his age, with special emphasis on that age-group ranging from 45 to 65 years. If the advertisement could not conceivably include applicants between the ages of 45 and 65 years, it may be considered that the advertisement discriminates against applicants because of age. Under this legislation, words which are clearly improper for use in advertisements are " boy," " girl," or " young," and phrases designating an exclusive age- group—that is, " ages 20 to 30 years," or a preference for any age under 45 years. During 1966 numerous complaints in connection with employment inquiries were settled through correspondence and consultation. One complaint regarding employment discrimination because of age was investigated and dismissed to the satisfaction of the complainant, as the desirability of employing a younger person was based on a bona fide occupational qualification. Two complaints alleging discrimination because of race and religion were referred to the Board of Industrial Relations. After holding a hearing and hearing the evidence, the complaints were dismissed as the evidence did not support the allegations of discrimination. PUBLIC ACCOMMODATION PRACTICES ACT N 49 Public Accommodation Practices Act This Act, which was passed at the 1961 Session of the Legislature, is intended to prohibit any person from denying accommodation, services, or facilities customarily available to the public to any person because of race, religion, colour, nationality, ancestry, or place of origin. The use of discriminatory notices or advertising is also prohibited. No complaints were received under this Act in 1966. N 50 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR Employment Agencies Act This Statute requires persons operating an employment agency to register with the Department of Labour. The Act does not apply to a person operating an employment agency for the sole purpose of hiring employees exclusively for one employer or trade unions within the meaning of the Labour Relations Act. During the year 1966 the following employment agencies were registered with the Department:— Anderson's Baby Sitting Agency, 3530 St. Andrew Avenue, North Vancouver, B.C.

L N 52 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR Women's Bureau The Honourable the Minister of Labour, Parliament Buildings, Victoria, B.C. Sir,-—I have the honour to submit the Annual Report of the Women's Bureau for the year 1966. In the Speech from the Throne on lanuary 27, 1966, Major-General the Honourable George Randolph Pearkes, Lieutenant-Governor, announced as follows:— " In recognition of the increasingly important role of women in the labour force, a Women's Bureau will be established within the Department of Labour. It will be the responsibility of this new Branch to correlate existing information regarding legislation and to determine trends with regard to age, training practices, and conditions affecting working-women. The Branch will serve as a channel of communication with women's groups, employers, and labour organizations. It will stimulate investigation and research by other branches of the Department and compile comprehensive reports in such areas as equal pay for equal work, maternity protection, minimum wages, and employment benefits." Subsequent to the passing of the Labour Department's estimates, the Bureau became functional with the appointment of a Director and staff. A set-up similar to the Women's Bureau of the Canada Department of Labour was considered a basis for a beginning, a small bureau which would utilize already established branches within the Labour Department—the Labour Standards, Factories, Research, Labour Relations, and Apprenticeship and Industrial Training Branches—plus a liaison with other departments of government. Since the establishment of this Bureau, the Director has addressed various organizations, including counsellors of private employment agencies, employment service officers of Canada Manpower, Business and Professional Women's Clubs, Vancouver Council of Women, Quota Club, Workshop for Pre-school Groups, church groups, and various groups of school students entering the labour market for the first time, as well as interviewing women wishing to re-enter the labour market who had not worked for 15 or 20 years. The Director attended meetings in connection with child day-care centres, National Executive Housekeepers' Association, union conventions, and is in consultation with other women's organizations. The Director also serves on the Advisory Board of the Accommodation and Food Services Industries. The Labour Relations Board meetings have been attended as an observer by the Director, also those of the Board of Industrial Relations, including hearings held in various cities to hear representations presented on the revision of minimum wages and the making of an Order under the Annual and General Holidays Act. Since the inception of the Women's Bureau there has been an exchange of information and legislation with the already established Women's Bureaux in Canada, and this was furthered when the Director presented a paper on the " Role of a Women's Bureau " to the 25th convention of the Canadian Association of Administrators of Labour Legislation at Fredericton, N.B., which was held October 3 to 7, 1966. Telephone inquiries to the Labour Standards Branch from women, women's groups, organizations, employers, and government offices regarding women are now referred to the Women's Bureau. Letters have been received requesting informa- WOMEN'S BUREAU N 53 tion on many subjects, including labour legislation as it relates to female workers from all corners of the Province, other Provinces in Canada, as well as other countries. Personal interviews are held with most women visiting the offices of the Department, whether it is for the purpose of registering a complaint or just to talk over their particular problem, so that a greater insight may be formed on their thoughts and requirements in the labour market. Studies are being conducted by the Bureau of girls 15 to 18 years old entering the labour market for the first time to determine the various types of occupations engaged in by this age-group, whether it be a part-time position during high-school or university vacations or full-time employment. A survey is also being conducted throughout the Province, with the assistance of the branch offices of the Department of Labour, on the types of complaints and inquiries from women. An analysis of this survey will indicate the field of assistance most urgently needed to inform the female public of their rights. The Bureau is attempting to carry out its objectives as enunciated to serve as a channel of communication with employers, labour organizations, and women's groups, as well as stimulate investigation and research by the other branches of the Department. The Bureau takes this opportunity to thank all branches within the Department of Labour for their kind co-operation and assistance. (Mrs.) C. K. Waddell, Director, Women's Bureau. N 54 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR Report of the Factories Inspection Branch Administration office - 411 Dunsmuir Street, Vancouver. Administrative Official of the Branch J. D. Forrest ----- Chief Inspector of Factories. The Honourable the Minister of Labour, Parliament Buildings, Victoria, B.C. Sir,—I have the honour to submit the annual report of the Factories Inspection Branch for the year 1966. Factories Division This review of the year 1966 indicates many noteworthy changes in the operations and inspectional work of the Branch, notably since April 1st when proclamation of the Factories Act, 1966, known also as an Act Respecting Factories, Shops, Offices, and Elevators, took place. The Act is more extensive than hithertofore, since it now deals with working conditions in stores and offices, as well as safety measures for elevating devices for the protection of both industry and the public. It is also more comprehensive, particularly in reference to factories, in dealing specifically with such matters as examination and approval of new factory plans or alteration of existing factory buildings and provision of washrooms, restrooms, lunchrooms, cloakrooms, sanitation, heating, ventilation, illumination, exhaust systems, and air-contamination control. Moreover, extending many of the provisions confined to factory workers to also include offices and stores will provide occupational health and safety measures to many more thousands of people in the labour force of this Province, and women in particular. Part II of the Act deals with elevating devices in a much more comprehensive manner than previously, to protect public and industrial users of this form of transportation. It also provides more effective controls for the construction and testing of all types of elevators. One of the most significant additions provides for the licensing of all elevating devices. The adoption of a licensing system will permit the Branch to conduct its inspectional services more effectively, particularly as increased volume of new installations is very evident. To permit the adoption of the 1966 C.S.A. B44 Safety Code for Elevators, Dumb-waiters, and Escalators as a regulation and also other regulations of our own pertinent to the Act, an Order in Council was approved September 26, 1966, incorporating both. It can be reasonably expected that these regulations will permit the Branch to function more efficiently and also keep abreast of a changing construction world. The application of the Act from an administrative and inspectional function required collaboration with a number of other bodies, including professional, business, and municipal. The co-operation of city and municipal building inspectors throughout the Province has been most helpful in facilitating the submission of factory plans to our offices for examination and approval purposes. After approaching the professional engineers and architects involved with factory design and construction, and outlining our requirements pertinent to the legis- FACTORIES INSPECTION BRANCH N 55 lation, as well as methods of developing mutual co-operation, we have found this phase of our operations working very smoothly. The same can also be said of construction firms, whether involved on factory construction or elevators. Another milestone reached in 1966 has been the participation of over 70 public health personnel working as part-time Factory Inspectors. This system of factories inspection has permitted coverage throughout the Province since they are located in over 80 cities and municipalities. This new system has permitted the Vancouver inspectorate of the Branch to concentrate this year on the Vancouver, North Shore, Burnaby, New Westminster, Richmond, Coquitlam, and Greater Victoria areas, in which is located our greatest density of industries. In the course of this year we have correlated our combined efforts through the Health Officers Council, which is comprised of the health unit directors, and the Public Health Institute, comprised of the health inspectors, and, of course, the officials of the Public Health Department, with satisfying results. Elevator Division To afford further protection to the users of elevators, the new regulations provide for the testing of overspeed governors and safeties every five years, commencing 1967. Also the conversion of hand cable control for freight elevators to constant pressure, providing electrically released and mechanically applied brakes, interlocked hoistway doors or gates, and contacted car doors or gates, will have to be completed by 1970. This will allow owners a three-year period to plan and arrange for the safety up-grading of such elevators. As a result of these forthcoming changes in our operations, plans have been completed on necessary procedures involved, and close co-operation has been given by elevator firms for the execution of these tasks. This year the Branch assumed the responsibility for the inspection and testing of workmen's passenger hoists, as well as chimney hoists. As the trend toward high-rise biddings has developed, it has been found necessary to install workmen's passenger hoists to transport large numbers of construction workers on these buildings as an efficiency and safety measure. In course of the year, numerous meetings were held with the management of elevator companies on matters of mutual concern. Also we undertook to meet several times with the management of construction-hoist manufacturers on the design, construction, and application of their equipment to buildings under construction, particularly high-rise. The Chief Inspector, as a member of the Canadian Standards Association B 44 Elevator Safety Code Committee and Z185 Passenger Hoist Safety Code Committee, met with the other members in Quebec City and Toronto to discuss the content of these codes in regard to elevator and construction hoists respectively. It is expected, as all Provinces have adopted the B 44 Elevator Code, so also will they adopt the Z185 Passenger Hoist Code in order to maintain uniformity of safety standards throughout Canada. In analysing the current elevator construction, it is evident this year that the trend toward office buildings and apartments with 20 or more floors is more pronounced than ever. There are already indications that 30-story-plus buildings will be on the upswing next year. Construction commences on a 40-story-plus building in Vancouver in 1967, and others of this size are to follow shortly. Consequently, we can plainly see the additional volume of inspectional work that will be involved, N 56 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR since such buildings have as many as five and six times the number of elevators usually installed in the below-20 category. Technical Services Division Early in the year under review, this third division, designed to conduct a new technical function of the Branch, became operational. In the course of the year under review we have been engaged on technical consultation on 33 elevator installations for the British Columbia Hospital Insurance Service and 34 elevator projects for the Provincial Department of Public Works. The British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority has required consultation on 14 installations planned for the Portage Mountain and High Arrow dam-sites. The very nature of this work demands the closest liaison with architects, consulting engineers, and elevator firms, and we are pleased to report that the cooperation received has been excellent. In addition to the consulting aspects of this Division's responsibilities, we have to report the institution of a protective maintenance programme for all types of elevating devices in Public Works buildings throughout the Province, as well as for hospitals. In January of this year, training seminars were held at the Essondale complex for 28 Public Works personnel from throughout the Province. The training to cover 98 personnel in charge of protective maintenance from 66 hospitals throughout the Province was conducted during the months of May and June of this year at six centres in the Province. It is our considered opinion, after close observation to date, that this system, developed by the Branch for the operational efficiency of the equipment and the extension of its life, has proved in large measure to be worth while. Plans and specifications for the construction of new elevating devices and factories submitted to the Branch for approval this year to date is itemized as follows:— Plan Approvals Passenger elevators 195 Freight elevators 20 Dumb-waiters 14 Escalators 15 Manlifts 2 Construction passenger hoists 14 Factory construction 106 Inspections Passenger elevators 1,148 Freight elevators 598 Dumb-waiters 239 Escalators 82 Manlifts - 3 6 Construction passenger hoists 11 Factories 1,955 Homework 16 Offices (including 20 office buildings) 1 155 Stores 119 Directives issued by Inspectors- Factory ____. -__~ - e— 935 Elevators _, 1 _i 1 1,180 1 FACTORIES INSPECTION BRANCH N 57 Staff Another change of events this year was the employment of a female Factories Inspector for the purpose of giving inspectional coverage to stores and offices particularly, although the inspection of factories employing females predominantly is also within the scope of her duties. It is for this purpose that Miss Evelyn S. Anderson became the first person of her sex to be appointed, through competition, a Factories Inspector in the Branch. Replacing Miss E. S. Anderson as secretary was Miss Irene Schwartz, who won this position through competition. Also joining the staff was Mr. Victor Caruso, who had been employed for 20 years with an elevator firm and latterly as a construction foreman. This year all Factories Inspectors have been participating on training courses pertinent to their work, and, in addition, Mr. D. A. Cooper received his Diploma in Public Administration from the University of Victoria. Conclusion We take this opportunity to acknowledge the assistance given our Branch by other Governmental departments and the continued co-operation of members of the staff. Also we wish to thank all officials and employees connected with industry for their co-operation during the past year. Respectfully submitted. J. D. Forrest, Chief Inspector of Factories. N 58 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR Report of the Research Branch G. D. Bishop ----------- Director The Honourable the Minister of Labour, Parliament Buildings, Victoria, B.C. Sir,—I have the honour to submit the annual report of the Research Branch for the year 1966. In April, 1966, the Research Branch was established within the Department and professional staff was recruited. The Branch has been provided with office space and other research facilities within the Departmental offices in Victoria. Research work is now under way on a number of subjects of concern to other branches of the Department, as well as studies of general interest to the public. The Research Branch has, as a primary function, the provision of factual information acquired from specialized studies which can assist in the formulation of policies and in the administration of programmes carried out by the Department. In particular, its role is to provide assistance in respect to manpower training programmes, labour standards, and labour relations. The Branch keeps up to date with current activities in the field of labour statistics and research undertaken by other jurisdictions. In this respect, the Director is a member of the Canadian Association of Administrators of Labour Legislation, Statistics and Research Committee. This Committee, which is composed of representatives from the Federal and Provincial Departments of Labour in Canada, meets annually in Ottawa to review and discuss new labour developments. This year the executive met in Victoria during December to prepare the agenda for the 1967 conference. This Committee provides a vehicle for co-ordinating statistical and research activities in Canada in the field of labour. One of the Branch's major research projects is a comprehensive review of all collective agreements filed with the Labour Relations Branch. This study serves as a means of providing up-to-date information to Conciliation Officers concerning changing trends in collective bargaining. Provisions dealing with such topics as hours of work, vacation policies, union security, and technological change are being examined. Respectfully submitted. G. D. Bishop, Director, Research Branch.

Sir,—I have the honour to submit the annual report of the Apprenticeship and Industrial Training Branch for the year ended December 31, 1966. Apprentices in Training On December 31, 1966, there were 6,127 apprentices registered on the records of the Apprenticeship and Industrial Training Branch. This is an increase of 764 apprentices over 1965 and represents an increase of 110 per cent in three years. During the year 926 apprentices completed their practical and theoretical training and were graduated from the programme. This is an increase of 45 per cent over last year.

Evening classes for apprentices were operated in Vancouver, Victoria, Trail, and Kitimat and provided training to 1,900 apprentices in 35 trades. APPRENTICESHIP AND INDUSTRIAL TRAINING BRANCH N 61 Daytime classes for apprentices were conducted in the British Columbia Vocational Schools at Burnaby, Nanaimo, and Kelowna in 24 trades for 2,322 apprentices from all parts of the Province. Between both evening and daytime classes, technical training is being offered in 50 different trades. During the year considerable effort was expended in the establishment of a course of study for instrument mechanic apprentices in the pulp and paper industry, the oil-refinery industry, and the mining industry. Day classes for apprentices in this trade will be conducted at the Institute of Technology, Burnaby, commencing in January, 1967. Pre-apprentice Training Pre-apprentice training programmes were conducted in the Provincial Government owned vocational schools in Burnaby, Nanaimo, Prince George, Kelowna, Nelson, and Dawson Creek. The school at Dawson Creek commenced limited operation in the fall of 1966, and by the spring of 1967 will be offering pre-apprentice training in the trades of building construction, automotive mechanical repair, heavy-duty mechanics, farm machinery mechanics, and cooking. During 1966, training was offered in 17 trades to a total of 1,612 students. A total of 1,190 students graduated during the year, leaving 422 in training at the end of the year. The number of persons graduated represents an increase of 30 per cent over 1965. The courses of four to six months' duration are offered to persons who wish to prepare for entry into the apprenticeship training programme in industry. Basic trade theory is taught in conjunction with the practical training under conditions as near as possible to those encountered in industry. Applicants are selected by a committee of the officials of the Apprenticeship and Industrial Training Branch and of the Department of Education on the basis of having an educational background suitable for learning the skilled trade of this day, and within the age-group which is most acceptable to industry. Supervision and Promotion Counselling visits to secondary schools were undertaken throughout the year by the counselling staff in order to supply up-to-date information and literature on the apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship programmes to the students, school counsellors, teaching staff, and principals. The counselling staff maintained close contact with employer and employee organizations for purposes of promoting apprenticeship training. In order to serve and supervise the training of the increased number of apprentices, three Apprenticeship and Industrial Training Counsellors were added to the staff of the Vancouver office along with the necessary office assistance. Apprenticeship Advisory Committees The Provincial Apprenticeship Committee met seven times during the year to consider and approve new contracts of apprenticeship, the cancellation of apprenticeship contracts, the transfer of apprentices between employers, the extension of apprenticeship contracts, and the issuing of certificates to apprentices who satisfactorily completed their training. Approval was also given to enrol selected students in the pre-apprentice programmes. N 62 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR Meetings of the various trade advisory committees were held for the purpose of receiving recommendations for new courses, revision of existing courses, and the examining of draft copies of trade analyses and examinations. The Provincial Apprenticeship Committee held two public hearings during the year, at which time submissions made by interested parties were considered relative to the designation for apprenticeship of the trades of cement mason and of roofing, damp and water proofing. The Provincial Apprenticeship Committee approved the reduction in the period of apprenticeship for the jewellery manufacture and repair trade from five to four years. Tradesmen's Qualifications The voluntary examination and certification of persons engaged in the trades of automotive mechanical repair (formerly called automobile mechanic), domestic radio and television servicing, and refrigeration continued, but the number of persons applying for examination declined sharply from the previous two years. Pursuant to section 20 of the Apprenticeship and Tradesmen's Qualification Act, the Lieutenant-Governor in Council authorized the issuing of certificates of proficiency in the following additional trades: Automotive body repair, automotive painting and refinishing, heavy-duty mechanic, industrial electrical, millwright, plumbing, sprinkler-fitting, steamfitting and pipefitting. Special regulations governing the issuance of certificates were promulgated for these additional trades. They provide that persons with a specified period of qualifying time who pass an examination shall be issued a certificate of proficiency, and that certificates of proficiency may be issued, without examination, to the holders of interprovincial standards apprenticeship completion certificates issued by other Provinces of Canada and to the holders of British Columbia certificates of apprenticeship. Millwright trade examining boards were appointed and conducted examinations in and surrounding Kelowna, Nelson, Prince George, Vancouver, and Victoria. The preparation of suitable examinations for the other trades was started, and is continuing at the end of the year, with the advice and assistance of trade advisory committees so that examining can commence in 1967. Compulsory certification of persons engaged in certain trades in some parts of the Province was authorized to come into effect on January 9, 1967. Persons in the remainder of the Province will have an opportunity to obtain certificates of proficiency in these trades on a voluntary basis. The trades of plumbing, sprinkler-fitting, and steamfitting and pipefitting were specified by B.C. Reg. 200/66 for compulsory certification in the area of Vancouver Island and that part of the Lower Mainland area bounded by the International Boundary to the south, both sides of the Fraser River up to and including Hope to the east, the areas on both sides of Burrard Inlet and the east side of Howe Sound up to and including Squamish to the north, and Howe Sound and the Strait of Georgia to the west. The domestic radio and television servicing trade was specified by B.C. Reg. 198/66 for compulsory certification in the part of the Province described as within the Electoral Districts of Nanaimo, Cowichan-Malahat, Esquimalt, Saanich and the Islands, Oak Bay, and Victoria. The following table indicates the examination results for the calendar year and the cumulative total of certificates of proficiency issued since the inception of the programme in each trade:— APPRENTICESHIP AND INDUSTRIAL TRAINING BRANCH N 63 Trade Examining Board Offices Examined Qualified in 1966 by- Certificates Issued in 1966 Cumulative Total of Certificates in 19616 Examination Apprenticeship Automotive mechanical repair Kelowna Nanaimo Nelson 101 40 64 7(2 209 411 38 21 38 24 IB* 31 131 38 27 38 24 242 31 169 78 200 115 Vancouver Victoria :1,073 153 Totals 547 299 1211 4120 1,808 Kelowna Nelson...

British Columbia prepared or revised examinations for the trades of bricklaying, instrument repair, and heavy-duty repair. Interprovincial apprenticeship completion examinations were written by 531 apprentices during the year. Of these 441 qualified for interprovincial seals on their apprenticeship completion certificates. Standard completion examinations are in use or being developed for the following trades:— In Official Use Bricklaying. Carpentry. Electrical (construction). Heavy-duty repair. Motor-vehicle (body). Motor-vehicle (mechanical). Plumbing. Radio-television repair. Refrigeration. Sheet-metal work. On Trial Use Industrial electrical. Instrument repair. Machinist. Millwright. Painting and decorating. Being Developed Cooking (Commercial). Electrical lineman. Steamfitting. Welding. Trade analyses produced by the Federal Government are the basis for developing courses of instruction and interprovincial examinations. Representatives from British Columbia acted on a national committee that compiled the analysis of the structural steel and plate erection trade that was published in 1966. Trade analyses have been published for the following trades:— Bricklaying. Carpentry. N 64 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR Cooking (commercial).

Designation of Trades Recommendations to the Honourable the Minister with respect to the designation of the trade of domestic radio and television and the amendment of the designation of the trades of automobile maintenance and plumbing and steamfitting were made and which resulted in the following Orders in Council being passed. The trade of domestic radio and television servicing was added to Schedule A of the Apprenticeship and Tradesmen's Qualification Act by Order in Council No. 2896 on October 4, 1966. The trade of plumbing and steamfitting was amended to steamfitting and pipe- fitting, and plumbing was designated as a separate trade. This was done by Order in Council No. 2897 on October 4, 1966. The trade of automobile maintenance—(a) automobile mechanic, (b) automobile metal work, (c) automobile painting (including all types of body finishing and refinishing), (d) automobile trimming (including fabric tops, upholstery, and general interior furnishings on automobiles), (e) automobile radiator work (including manufacture, reconditioning, and repair)—was amended by Order in Council No. 3752 on December 19, 1966, to:— " 1.

Inglis. John Melville. The Honourable the Minister of Labour, Parliament Buildings, Victoria, B.C. Sir,—It is my privilege to present to you the annual report of the administration of the Trade-schools Regulation Act for the year ended December 31, 1966. The administrative officers met 13 times during the year to consider all matters concerning registration, suitability of the courses offered, general conduct, and specific problems of the private trade schools and to make the necessary recommendations to the Honourable the Minister. Ninety-seven private trade schools were registered with this office for 1966 to offer either practical training, correspondence training, or combined correspondence and practical training courses to residents of British Columbia. Eighty-six schools were re-registrations from 1965, 11 new schools were registered during the year, and 16 schools discontinued operation in British Columbia during the year. After obtaining comments from qualified persons and due consideration, one application for certificate of registration to operate a trade school in British Columbia was not recommended for approval. During the year 1966 all schools offering practical training in the Province were visited twice and routine inspections completed. The premises and facilities of the schools requesting new registration were also inspected in regard to their suitability. Visits were also made to the schools in regard to specific problems and complaints. Numerous student refunds of fees were effected during the year for students who had decided to discontinue training and contacted this office for assistance. The administrative officers considered and recommended a revision of the Special Regulations Governing Barbering Schools and the service charges allowed. Subsequently an Order in Council was made implementing the recommendation. The following lists indicate the schools that were re-registered, newly registered, and discontinued through 1966, together with the subjects taught.

The Honourable the Minister of Labour, Parliament Buildings, Victoria, B.C. Sir,—I have the honour to present the annual report of the Labour Standards Branch for the year ended December 31, 1966. During the year 30 Industrial Relations Officers made 40,931 inspections and investigations in regard to matters relating to labour standards legislation. Wage adjustments amounting to $356,042.99 were paid to 6,937 employees as a result of the investigations which were made. Department cars travelled 207,756 miles in connection with the administration of the legislation. As certain employees exercised their civil rights under the Male and Female Minimum Wage Acts through the Courts without coming to the Department, it may be presumed that the amount of money paid to employees as a result of legislation administered by this Department is considerably in excess of that recoided in the following table:— Comparison of Investigations and Wage Adjustments, 1965 and 1966 1965 1966 Inspections and investigations 39,489 40,931 Industrial Relations Officers 29 30 Annual Holidays Act— Firms involved 1,259 1,226 Employees affected 2,833 2,422 Arrears paid $77,503.41 $73,748.38 Female Minimum Wage Act— Firms involved 189 193 Employees affected 521 829 Arrears paid $12,677.45 $16,320.53 LABOUR STANDARDS BRANCH N 73 Comparison of Investigations and Wage Adjustments, 1965 and 1966—Continued 1965 1966 Male Minimum Wage Act— Firms involved 378 351 Employees affected 1,209 869 Arrears paid $66,770.35 $53,749.94 Payment of Wages Act— Firms involved 1,558 1,562 Employees affected 2,879 2,817 Arrears paid $190,234.20 $212,224.14 Total adjustments $347,185.41 $356,042.99 Payment of Wages Act 1965 1966 Plans authorized under section 4 (2) (a) (iv) 6 18 Certificates made1 under section 5 (1) (c) 87 120 Certificates sent under section 5 (1) (d) 87 120 Certificates confirmed2 under section 5 (2) (a) 65 103 Certificates cancelled under section 5 (2) (b) 7 12 Certificates cancelled and remade under section 5 (2) (b) 7 11 Certificates paid before confirmation 7 7 Certificates made under section 5 (3) filed with Registrar of— County Court3 57 97 Supreme Court 3 9 Appeals under section 5(4) Demands made under section 6 (1) 36 33 Demands for security under section 8(1) Applications to Judge under section 8 (3) 1 Nine certificates were made in 1966 and pending at December 31, 1966. 2 Seven certificates were made in 1965 and confirmed in 1966. 3 Payments were made on three certificates before filing in Court. Plans Authorized by the Board under Sections 4 (2) (a) (iv) of the Payment of Wages Act and Section 15 (1) (c) of the Truck Act Under section 4 (2) (a) (iv) of the Payment of Wages Act and section 15 (1) (c) of the Truck Act, the Board has authorized plans having general application with respect to the following:— For the purchase of bonds issued by the Dominion of Canada, the Province of British Columbia, or their agencies. To pay either in whole or in part for board and (or) lodging. For medical coverage under M.S.A. To meet credit obligations through the Retail Credit Grantors' Adjustment Bureau Limited. For payments to (1) a credit union incorporated under the Credit Unions Act and (2) a society licensed under the Insurance Act. To meet credit obligations. N 74 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR Court1 Cases When employers fail to co-operate with the Department in the matter of compliance with the provisions of the orders and regulations administered by the Labour Standards Branch, action is taken through Magistrate's Courts in order to obtain compliance with the legislation. A summary of Court cases during the year 1966 follows:— Court Cases for the Year 1966 Name of Acts Number of Employers Charges Convictions Dismissals 5 1 ■1 1 5 1 1 2 5 1 2 Male Minimum Wage Act 1 Totals - 8 9 g 1 In 1966 two females were added to the inspection staff as Industrial Relations Officers. They are presently working in the Vancouver area, and already their efforts have greatly assisted in acquainting employers and female employees with the requirements of the labour standards legislation. In conclusion, we wish to express our appreciation for the co-operation given to the staff in the administration of its duties, by organizations, trade unions, employers, and employees during the year 1966.

Parliament Buildings, Victoria. Parliament Buildings, Victoria. The Honourable the Minister of Labour, Parliament Buildings, Victoria, B.C. Sir,—I have the honour to present the annual report of the Labour Relations Branch for the year ended December 31, 1966. N 76 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR Turbulence in labour relations throughout Canada and in other countries during the year was reflected in British Columbia. The continuation of the upward trend in the economy of the Province resulted in an increase in the working force from 561,000 in 1965 to 600,000 in 1966. Trade-union membership showed an increase of 7.73 per cent from 237,864 in 1965 to 256,241 in 1966. These factors combined to make the year under review one of the most active in the history of the Branch. Appointments of Conciliation Officers showed a decrease from 470 in 1965 to 388 in 1966, and fewer Conciliation Boards were appointed, but 16 more settlements were reached through our mediation services and through the efforts of Industrial Inquiry Commissions than in the previous year. However, disputes which were referred to the conciliation service during the year involved 1,875 employers and 89,971 workers, compared with totals of 1,191 employers and 40,638 workers in 1965. There were 39 disputes causing time loss during the year. Of these, nine commenced in 1965. Twelve disputes, involving 26 employers and 3,291 workers and creating a time loss of 25,356 working-days, commenced without prior reference to conciliation procedures, contrary to the provisions of the Labour Relations Act. Commencing in March, a dispute involving approximately 27,000 workers in the forest industry came before the Conciliation Branch. Despite the consistent efforts of our officers, the parties were unable to agree upon any of the 34 items in dispute. In May the employees took a strike vote, and voted by a large majority in favour of striking the industry if an agreement could not be reached. On May 25th, Mr. Justice N. T. Nemetz was appointed an Industrial Inquiry Commission and held continuous discussions with both sides until June 21st. The negotiating committee of the union had unanimously recommended to the membership that no strike action be taken until such time as the report of the Commissioner was submitted. Despite this recommendation, certain units did go on strike. Upon submission of the Commissioner's report, the union recommended its acceptance by the membership and, with acceptance by the employers, the dispute was resolved. In January, 1966, negotiations commenced between the local unions represented by the British Columbia Provincial Council of Carpenters and employers in the construction industry to effect the renewal of the master agreement, which expired March 31, 1966. The parties were unable to agree upon the employers' insistence on modifications of union hiring provisions and the union's demand for a shorter work-week. Despite the efforts of our conciliation service to resolve the dispute, a series of strike votes was held, with the result that the union struck some of the employers and some of the employers locked out employees. Resultantly, some 1,750 carpenters were out of work, halting the construction of numerous building projects throughout the Province. By this time the protagonists had drawn up forms of agreement. Many employers signed the union agreement and Interior locals signed the employers' agreement. In view of the steadily deteriorating conditions, Mr. W. E. Philpott, of Vancouver, was appointed an Industrial Inquiry Commission on August 30, 1966. Following several meetings and conferences with representatives of the parties, Mr. Philpott made his report on September 14, 1966. His recommendations were accepted, and the men returned to work. Applications for certification showed an increase for the fifth successive year. Eight hundred and fifty-nine applications were issued, compared with 652 in 1965, LABOUR RELATIONS BRANCH N 77 and 197 applications were rejected, compared with 145 in the preceding year. Applications for the variance of certification again showed an upward trend from 107 in 1965 to 149 in 1966. The number of certifications cancelled decreased from the 1965 figures. Orders issued by the Labour Relations Board in conformity with the provisions of section 7 of the Labour Relations Act* totalled three, a decrease of 25 from the preceding year. Eight settlements were effected by Departmental Officers. During the year the Labour Relations Board met on 63 occasions and held 28 hearings, as compared with 73 meetings and 39 hearings in 1965. Section 22 of the Labour Relations Act provides for the orderly settlement during the term of a collective agreement, without stoppage of work, of all differences between the parties bound by the agreement concerning its interpretation, application, operation, or any alleged violation thereof, including any question as to whether any matter is arbitrable. It is a requirement of the section that the agreement should also contain a provision governing the dismissal or suspension of an employee bound by the agreement. The ultimate step in the resolution of these differences is usually reference to arbitration. Section 22 (4) of the Act provides that any time prior to the appointment of a board of arbitration or other body, either party to the collective agreement may request the Registrar in writing to appoint an officer of the Department of Labour to confer with the parties to assist them to settle the difference. The officer, after conferring with the parties, may make a report to the Registrar, and the report may be referred to the Labour Relations Board. The Board may, if in its opinion the difference is arbitrable, refer the matter back to the parties to inquire into it and, following such inquiry, make an order for final and conclusive settlement of the difference. Under this section there were 148 settlements effected by Officers of the Department in 1966, an increase of 47 over the preceding year. Fifty-two orders were issued by the Labour Relations Board, and in 25 instances the differences were referred back to the parties. In two cases the Board decided that the questions were not arbitrable. Settlement's by Conciliation Officers There were 388 disputes referred to Conciliation Officers during the year. Forty-eight cases, unterminated at December 31, 1965, were carried over from that year. Of these, Conciliation Officers settled 131, and 90 were referred to Conciliation Boards. In 25 cases the application for the appointment of a Conciliation Officer was withdrawn or the appointment cancelled, and in 45 cases Conciliation Officers did not recommend Boards. These 45 referrals were made by Conciliation Officers in conformity with the provisions of section 29 (1) of the Labour Relations Act; that is, the Officer reported that it was not advisable to appoint a Conciliation Board, and therefore made recommendations concerning the matters in dispute. Three similar cases, unterminated at December 31, 1965, were carried forward. These recommendations were sent to the parties, and in each instance took the place of a report of the Conciliation Board. Of these 48 disputes, in 19 instances the Officers' reports resulted in immediate settlement, there was eventual settlement in 24 in- * Section 7 of the Labour Relations Act provides that if, upon inquiry, it is shown to the satisfaction of the Board that an employer, trade union, or person is doing any of the acts prohibited by sections 4, 5, and 6 of the Act (which include engaging in unfair labour practices, attempting to persuade employees to join or not to join a union during working-hours, and using coercion or intimidation to compel a person to become or refrain from becoming a member of a trade union), the Board may order the employer, trade union, or person to cease from doing the prohibited act, and to rectify the act so done. N 78 DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR stances, and in five cases the decision of the parties upon the acceptance or rejection of the Officer's report had not been received at December 31, 1966. Section 29 (2) of the Labour Relations Act provides that the Conciliation Officer can recommend only that no Board be appointed. If the Minister concurs, he may, by written notice, advise the parties that a Conciliation Board will not be appointed. At this stage the parties may request a strike or lockout vote, or they may proceed to bargain further. At any time the Department is ready to assist the parties to reach settlement. In 96 such cases during the year 1966, Conciliation Officers recommended only that a Conciliation Board should not be appointed. Ninety disputes covered by Conciliation Officer appointments were referred to Boards. In addition, six cases in which a Board had not been appointed at December 31, 1965, were carried forward to 1966. Of these 96 disputes, in 90 cases, covering 93 referrals, Boards were appointed, in one instance settlement was reached before a Board was appointed, and in the remaining two cases Boards had not been appointed at December 31, 1966. In 49 instances, at the year's end Conciliation Officers had not reported upon appointments which had been made. Mediations During the year our Departmental Officers were successful in resolving 27 disputes by mediation, following the exhaustion of the machinery of the Labour Relations Act. These disputes involved 49 employers and 51 units of employees. One thousand eight hundred and eighty-three workers were affected. In 20 cases in which 35 employers and 37 units of employees were involved, mediators settled disputes prior to strike action. One thousand four hundred and sixty-one workers were affected. Settlements by mediation followed strike or lockout action in seven disputes, involving 14 employers and 14 units of employees, affecting 422 workers. The efforts of our Conciliation Officers as mediators were responsible in these several instances for the maintenance of industrial peace in the Province. Arbitration Boards Where grievance procedures under collective agreements had been invoked, chairmen were named to 18 Arbitration Boards by the Minister of Labour and to 13 Arbitration Boards by the Labour Relations Board, upon the requisite application. Conciliation Board Chairmen In accordance with the provisions of the Labour Relations Act, chairmen were named by the Minister of Labour to 53 Conciliation Boards. Nominees of the disputant parties selected chairmen on 37 occasions. Various tables, descriptive of the work of the Branch, follow. Respectfully submitted. B. H. E.

The term " dispute " refers to either strike or lockout. Figures shown are inclusive of all industrial disputes involving time loss which have come to the attention of the Department. Methods taken to obtain this information preclude the possibility of serious omission, but revisions may be made in the light of later information. Estimates of time loss are computed by multiplying the number of days a work stoppage lasts by the number of employees directly involved in the dispute which leads to the strike or lockout, and who are on strike or locked out and not replaced. Summaries include only the record of time lost by these workers.
