Expo 86 in jeopardy over labor peace talks
Expo chairman Jim Pattison and British Columbia unions remain deadlocked over allowing non-union labor on the Vancouver waterfront site. Premier Bill Bennett warned the May 1986 opening could be canceled if a labor peace guarantee is not secured. Roy Gautier of the Building Trades Council cited concessions but said the government stance blocks a deal. Pattison will submit cabinet recommendations, as unions insist on equal wages and benefits for all workers and a no-work-stoppage pledge. The government maintains bid fairness and no discrimination in Expo hiring. A previous union strike threat and condo-site labor clashes heightened the tension and risk to Expo.
