"Packers Vote For Union," Winnipeg Tribune. October 30, 1943. Page 17. --- In a vote taken at the Canada Packers' St. Boniface plant Friday night more than 1,000 company employes approved local 216, United Packinghouse Workers of America, as their sole collective bargaining agency.

It was reported that the overwhelming majority of 1.007 favored the union. There were 70 votes against it, and 18 spoiled ballots. The question posed the workers was: "Are you in favor of being represented for the purpose of collective bargaining with Canada Packers Ltd. by Local 216, U.P. W.A.?"

The secret vote was conducted at the plant under the authority of Chief Justice A. E. McPherson, recently-appointed commissioner of inquiries into the long dispute between Canada Packers management and employes. Harris S. Johnstone, regional industrial relations officer, for the department of labor, Ottawa, is assisting the chief justice.

Earlier this week company and union officials reached a settlement on the dispute and signed a four-point agreement. One of the points stated that the question of representation should be determined "and the usual procedure of an election among production and maintenance employes be conduct- ed by the Dominion department of labor."

Adam Borsk is the field representative of local 216, U.P.W.A.

William Laurence really went from "i know dragons can fuck a ship up and that's about it" to "foremost human expert of dragon psychology, sociology, and war-time supply chain in Europe*" in under a decade and good for him

that's what happens when you don't have to unlearn incorrect methods first (*Except France)

"Packers' Help Problem Solved," Winnipeg Tribune. October 28, 1943. Page 13. ---- PACKING plants in the province which 10 days ago required between 700 and 800 new workers today had all their requirements filled excepting for a few experienced butchers which they would employ if they could get them. Within the next week the Farm Help Service said these probably would be available.

With their labor quotas supplied the plants were now in a position to avoid a pile-up in stock shipments at their yards such as occurred 10 days ago. Many of their new workers have to be trained for a short time to reach. the required standard of efficiency.

Most of the new help came from farms in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, a direct result of the intensive canvass by the Farm Help Service during the last three weeks. About 200 came from Saskatchewan.

Help is still being solicited for other essential industries, such as lumber camps, pulpwood mills, fuel wood camps and the base metal mines. Volunteers are still coming in and allocated to where they are most needed by the selective service board.

The full time requirements for these industries, it was stated to- day, may not be filled because there are not enough men. Selective service officials today said there were hopes they could come reasonably near it but in the meantime the only course was to place the workers where it was considered their services were most needed.

if you're going to plagiarize other people's work you should at least make sure that it doesn't suck. like don't get me wrong plagiarism is shitty regardless but at least if you get called out for stealing something actually good you can still say you have good taste if nothing else. but if you plagiarize something that sucks well then that's just embarrassing for you.
