Launch proposal
for meat mwrketing
The District Directors of
National Farmers Union Reg-
ion 3, . (Ontario); made the
decision at a recent meeting
in Mallon ' to launch a ' con- ,
rcrete proposal in Ontario and
throughout: Canada for a
National Meat Marketing
Program.
"`The red meat industry in
Ontario is in a crisis situation
and the NFU has long been a
supporter of orderly mark-
eting with supply manage-
ment in .the meat industry,"
Marie. Bright, Co-ordinator
for Region 3 of the NFU said
recently. "If ever there was a
time when farmers should be
putting pressure on both the
federal and provincial gov-
ernments to have supply
management put into place,
it is now."
Interest rates are sky rock-
eting with no pricing formula.
in place to ensure the
farmers their cost of produc-
tion; more and more farmers
are going bankrupt. Meat
producers are realizing to
have a stable income . they
must accept the, principles of
supply management re a
National Meat authority..
This also means that farmers
are . beginning to accept
certain regulations and con-
trols to have a. viable indus-
try:
Lorne Henderson and Eug-
ene
Whelan had . better get
on•the bit and be prepared .to
deal with meat • legislation in
the very near future because
all indications are that fann-
ers won't be impressed this
time /round hi the meat cycle
even if prices should come
back to anywhere near . the
cost of production. Meat
producers are looking for
long term stabilityand a
guarantee their . life's work
won't be taken from them at
the whim of spiralling inter-
esting rates . or any other
input costs increase.
Bright said the NFU will
be holding mass meetings
across Ontario hoping . to
draw a cross=section from
both rural and urban people
alike to discuss the National
Meat Authority Proposal.
Reality has hit. If consumers
want a supply of fresh meat
in Canada, they will have to
be willing to pay . the price.
The regulatory control will,
under this system be on cor-
porate
pricing as well as farm
pricing.
"In the long term this .
program will be a definite
benefit to consumers," con-
cluded Bright.

Supp�rfasifl; workers'
aright to strike ,
The National Farmers. Un-
ion, executive has reaffirmed
itk
,policy . supporting the
right of Canadian farm work-
ers to organize. •
At a meeting of the execu-
tive held in Saskatoon, . May
27 - 29th, concern was ex-
pressed over reports of active
farmer ,,opposition in some
Parts of. Canada to efforts by
farm workers to seek organ-
ization status.
NFU Region 3 Co-ordinat-
or, ' Marie. Bright, said it is •
hypocritical to recognize 'and
support the right of other
workers in society and farm-
ers to.organize but .deny the.
same right to -farm workers.
Bright said that minimum
wages, whether they apply to
contract work, or man hourly
basis and conditions • and
standards of . employment,
such as hours of workand
housing were basic areas of
abuse in ,some sectors of the ..
farming industry that need top
be righted., to erase the bad
public image farm employ-
ment has earned over the
years.
The. NFU Co-ordinator
stated that organization am-
ong
m ong farm workers also could
mean that skills. _ of workers
might in future be classified .
and upgraded by their 'union
and assist in providing the
kind and quality of farm,
labour farmers require.
• The NFU executive said it
recognized that some farmer•
opposition to organization is
based on their inability to •
recover higher costs through
the prices they receive for
their products, however the,
means of doing so through
organization and orderly
marketing exists in, most.
instances and must be ac-
commodated.
