    HEU Members' Resolutions Too Hot To Handle MfD OpenForum
    A series of resolutions tabled by the HEU Children's and Women's Local at a meeting of the Vancouver District Labour Council (VDLC) earlier this week, have been deferred until the VDLC's June meeting because executive board members found them 'too controversial'.

    The resolutions call on the Labour Council to:

    * Condemn the BC Federation of Labour for its failure to support striking HEU workers who were recently subject to back-to-work legislation that also imposed a 15% cut to their wages.
    * Condemn the BC New Democratic Party for the praise it heaped on a deal brokered by BC labour leaders that accepted the 15% rollback.
    * Demand that minutes of meetings of the directors of Concert Properties, a land development and real estate company connected to many BC union leaders, be made available to members of VDLC affiliates.
