VICTORIA 0 Labor Minister Lyle Wicks Wednesday announced immediate proclamation of British ColumSia's new Labor Relations Act and dismissal 'of the Labor Relations Board. Mr. Wick's announcement followed an emergency meeting of trre cabinet, attended by the Labor Board. Details of the meeting were not disclosed. But the labor minister said "services of the existing board members is now discontinued." He later announced that a new board would be named shortly. The Labor Relations Act will come into force Immediately. It will govern all labor-management relations within the jurisdiction of the province. With the proclamation of the new act, the former Industrial Conciliatldli and Arbitration Act, In force since 1847, is repealed. Mr. Wicks said the labor relations code, which has been bit the- B.C. Federation of Labor (CCD declined to comment on tivir dismissals. But both said proclamation of the act was a mistake and that it should have been withdrawn. Mr. Home said: 'I felt the LRB would end with the new Act. But I feel it is a drastic mistake to proclaim the Act, and it does not aignr well for industrial peace. -The bill Is not a realistic approach to labor problems. Unfortunately the government believes people can be coerced Into action Instead of being allowed freedom of action." Dan Radford, president of the B.C. Federation of Labor, charged that the dismissal of the Labor Board "once again shown the dictatorship which we In labor have claimed over the past two years." "This sort of action by the present government will not tend to bring Uidustrial peace to B.C." terly assailed by B.C. unions, will "provide more freedom, more elasticity, greater flexibility," for union and management. The new labor code will call a halt to industry-wide strikes in the province, and outlaws sympathy and wildcat walkouts. Under its provisions, Uie minister of labor may refer a strike to a judge of the supreme court, who will rule on Its legality. Offending unions could lose certification, contract, check-off, or all three. Strikes are not allowed until after negotiations have failed and until one of the disputing parties has rejected a recommendation of a conciliation officer or board. - .......
