Once again. our strike record was among the worst for industrialized nations, The year began badly. There were sen work stoppages. more than ever before in the first six months. Figures for the second half of 1975 are not yet available. but in terms of working time lost. they are sure to be high. Starting in British Columbia in the summer. strikes closed down the pulp and paper industry right across the coimtry. Nearly one million days were lost by the strike of 2t,000 postal workers. The strike of Toronto teachers added M0.000 to working days lost. _ In addition to formal strikes. illegal walk-outs and work stoppages disguised as study sessions and sickness. etc., were numerous. The total loss of working time and of wages was particularly serious, as it contributed to cmt- tinued economic sluggishness. It became obvious that strikes are not isolated events when the pulp and paper strike forced the lay-off of several thousand workers in the woods, when the postal strike pushed scores of small businesses into bankruptcy.

It quickly "became evident that a new element had been injected 'into the labor relations field. Strikes and wage settle- ments affecting prices normally have left the public with alternative sources of goods and services. The new situation was bluntly stated by the president of the On- tario Public Service Employees' Union; "We'd shut down the province. . f' Militancy of civil service unions coincided with growing union defiance of government authority and the law. Early in the year. .longshoremen arrogantly declared Parliamentary back-to-work legislation inoperative un- less and until it was "ratified" by vote of union members. In Montreal. unionized policemen engaged in organized harassment and intimidation of citizens. Toronto teachers. the mentors of our young people. were told by their leaders that it was "morale right" to break the law if such action helped achieve their aims. For the coming year, the outlook in the field of labor relations is not encouraging. As the new year began, ex- tremists both within and outside labor unions were ex- changing rude and extravagant complaints and threats. Yet, as was shown in the ultimate settlement of the postal strike. and in many employer-employee contracts amicably negotiated throughout the year. trade unionism and collective bargaining in Canada still is. essentially, democratic in principle and method. andhatedttrothers.
