) Durham Region Christmas Seal Campaign Kicked Off Union Charges Hydro Buying Labor Peace Ontario Hydro is accused of buying "labour peace" from the Ontario Allied Construction Construction Trades Council, composed composed of thirteen international construction trade unions operating in Ontario. According to Ed Grooten- boer, a representative of the Christian Labour Association of Canada (CLAC), an independent, independent, Canadian trade union, this policy of Ontario Hydro results in huge sums of money being paid out to keep the international unions happy, while at the same time Hydro discriminates against Ontario construction workers who do not choose to belong to the international construction trade unions. "This is a glaring case of the restrictive labour situation that is allowed to exist in this Province," said Mr. Grooten- boer. "It's costing Hydro's customers untold sums of money, because, as a matter of policy, Hydro is limiting its acceptance of bids for construction construction work to only those, employers who will hire members members of the international construction trade unions." : The 1982 Christmas Seal campaign officially began in Durham Region last Wednesday as Cecil the Sensible Seal ana campaign chairman Walter Beath presented regional chairman Gary Herrema .with the campaign flag and a sheet of Christmas seals.

LIMIT-ONE PER CUSTOMER CLAC reports that a Chatham, Chatham, Ontario general contracting contracting firm, Ben Bruinsma & Sons Limited bid $241,000 for hydroelectric transmission tower support work being let by Hydro. Bruinsma's bid was $100,000 lower than the next highest bid. The work to be done consists of bank erosion control on the Saugeen River, near the Douglas Point Nuclear Station. Bruinsma's employees are, and have since 1963, represented by CLAC's Local 53. Consequently, when faced with Hydro's demand that Bruinsma use not its own employees, but that the company company hire workers for the project from the international construction trade unions, Bruinsma could not legally comply. In meetings with Hydro construction officials, CLAC was told that Hydro would continue to adhere to its policy of giving all its bulk transmission transmission related construction work to only members of the international international construction trade unions. The next highest bid to Bruinsma & Sons Limited bid of . $241,000 for the Saugeen River work i was $400,000. In other words,lutated Mr. Groot- enboer, "Hydro is prepared to pay about $160,000 to maintain its pact with the'international construction trade unions. That's 66 per cent premium for the Saugeen River work alone. Who knows how much it amounts to on Hydro's total annual construction costs, which I understand amounts to over $1 billion annually." Mr. Grootenboer went on to report that Bruinsma's workers workers under CLAC's contract earn the same gross wage rate as that earned by members of the other unions, and said, "The only explanation I can think of for the extra $160,000 in the next highest bid is excessive profits for the contractor who gets the work, and a lack of productivity by those who now are guaranteed all of Hydro's construction work." "It's a deplorable situation which Hydro cannot justify when it asks concessions from its own employees. 1 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I WIUM Kodak pop«r. *12.95 Total Package Price (950 Deposit) MOVE MBER TUES. WED. 9th 10th 10a.iii.-Bp.in. 1 0a.iii.-8p.ni. 243 King St. East / Bowmanville Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, November 3,1982 11 Mobile Conservation Lab Visits Local Museum Steven Poulin and Therese Charbonneau, of the mobile conservation lab, examine one of the Bowmanville Museum's collection of needlework samplers. This particular sampler dates back to 1820. It was one of a number of textile items examined by the conservators when their mobile lab visited the museum last Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. In addition to cleaning and restoring items from museum collections, the lab travels throughout Ontario in order to advise community museums on the care and preservation of their collections. The conservation of museum objects so that they are protected for posterity may not be the most glamorous glamorous aspect of museum activities. activities. However, the work of the conservator is probably one of the most important facets of a museum operation. Steve Poulin, who works with the mobile conservation lab sponsored by the Ontario government's Ministry of Citizenship and Culture, explained that without conservation conservation a museum collection can be lost. Mr. Poulin and Therese Charbonneau have been travelling travelling with the mobile lab across Ontario since early tylay in order to bring their services to community museums across Ontario. Both of them have trained to become conservators through practical experience and by formal studies at the college or ur'versity level. Si., e May 10, they have travelled about 12,000 kilometres kilometres and visited museums as far north as Iroquois Falls. At each museum, they work on the preservation of certain items in the collection and give the museum staff suggestions suggestions on the care and main- tainance of their collection. Steve Poulin and Therese Charbonneau were at the Bowmanville Museum for four days last week and they worked mainly on thé preservation preservation of small textile items. These included a collection of seven needlepoint samplers. Mr. Poulin explained that high levels of light, crowded storage conditions and frequent frequent shifts in temperature can all contribute towards the deterioration of museum items. In the case of textile items, the object may be washed, placed on a suitable mounting surface and perhaps covered with a glass which will filter out ultra violet rays. Therese Charbonneau explained that the length of time which an item might be preserved depends on how the environment influences that item. For example, the hot dry atmosphere of a desert is an ideal environment for the preservation of cotton. A cotton cloth exposed to this environment might survive two thousand years. In the same setting, wool would deteriorate. After completing their work at the Bowmanville Museum, the conservators will send a report on ideas to help keep the collection in good condition. condition. During their visit to Bowmanville, Bowmanville, they also spoke to members of the museum board about conservation at a meeting Wednesday, October 27.
