Letter to the Editor on union formation in Chetwynd
At a membership meeting for CUPE Local 3052 employees of the District of Chetwynd a unanimous motion urged a letter reacting to the Masters Corner February 4 1986. The letter defends the union decision and criticizes the Mayor for opposition and public criticism claiming it undermines workers and fuels taxpayer distrust. It notes prior employer efforts to oppose the union and rumors surrounding organizers amid a 1986 pay rise averaging 4.73 percent alongside salary and administration costs.
