CLC said Wed nesday it will make no deals with the federal government in exchange for early removal of mandatory wage and price controls Labor Minister John Munro said the labor movements total rejection of the govern ments conditions for an early end to controls means the antiinflation rogram now might stay in effect until the en of 1978 Leaders of most of the 110 unions affiliated with the CLC said the congress cannot accept any of the governments proposals for volun tary wage restraint which include con sultative forum to advise the government on the economy and monitoring agency after the controls program ends formally The reaction from big business spokesman AJ de Grandpre was disappointment De Grandpre chairman of Bell Canada and acting head of the Business Council on Na tional Issues said business had been prepared to propose compromise to the government on Prime Minister Trudeaus of er CLC president Joe Morris said at news conference the labor movement will not have further economic consultations with the government until the controls program has been completely lifted We totally reject the idea of controls in any form whatsoevercompulsory or volun tary De Grandpre the chief spokesman for the big business representatives in recent talks with labor and government officials said in telephone interview from Montreal he hoped the government would have second crack at withdrawing the program before the end of 1977 BOTH SIDES PPOSED Both labor and business are opposed to the program imposed 22 months ago It is scheduled to run until December 1978 but Trudeau put forward conditions for early ter mination of the program at meeting with business and labor representatives July 29 De Grandpre said business was prepared to make go of the proposals for monitoring agency and consultative forum but did not want to accept suggestion that large com panies should continue giving the govern ment early notification of price increases Munro said the CLC position unanimous endorsed at meeting of 90 heads of union filiated with the congress means the federal controls program will be in effect for good deal longer The congress said wage controls must end immediately and unconditionally and unem ployment must be given top priority in iolicy formulation Unless the governments attitude changes further discussions are not likely to be productive in dealing with our present social and economic problems The CLC said the government has asked workers voluntarily to hold wage increases below the rate of inflation In fact the government has taken position that workers must accept real loss in wages The congress said also that there is no need for monitoring agency after controls are lif ted Not eligible for grant BARCLAY Staff lnnisfil
