But many thousands of employees In British Columbia have seen strike votes taken which affected them directly but gave them no chance of expressing their wishes secretly as in political elections. British Columbia's Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act, 1947, (commonly known as 'Bill 39'J brings our labor laws up to date. It gives employees the right to a government-supervised secret ballot to determine tfwir actual wishes before a strike can legally be called in their name. What's wrong with that? Yet certain labor leaders have raised an outcry against granting employees rights which have been an accepted part of voting procedure in every kind of political refcren-dum for generations.
