Regina Saskatchewan Premier Thatcher sets a Monday 9 a.m. session to amend the Essential Services Emergency Act to limit strikes in construction for two to three years. He ties any wage gains to signed agreements with the United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices, Pipe Fitters and related unions. Strikes by plumbers have disrupted Regina Saskatoon and Prince Albert, with Moose Jaw workers staying on the job. The move targets a 820 million public works program, while unions reject a 64 cent an hour two year package. journeymen earned about 4.00 per hour under prior contracts. Contractors claim some fringe benefits are included and wage increases for this year equal six percent, warning contractors refusing to concede will lose public works contracts.
