Page 4 THE UBYSSEY Wednesday, October 15, 1986 Expoor The summer employees of Expo Corporation will receive no final bonus and must return their uniforms. Their $4 to $6 an hour jobs ended with a party where they paid for their own hot dogs. The $9 per hour employees of the Canada Pavilion ate a four- course meal in their pavilion, received gifts of umbrellas and cassette tapes, kept their Alfred Sung designer uniforms and will receive their $1000 bonuses within one month. The question of Expo Corporation saving money is an unaccep table argument. Expo Corporation will have a deficit of over $400 million. Ten million dollars one way or the other makes little difference with a debt that size. Expo spared no expense in presenting glitz and spectacle. But it built into its hiring structure massive employee turnover. At such low wages, with no incentive to finish, many left their Expo jobs at the end of August. With this, Expo Corporation chair Jimmy Pattison saved little money. But he did introduce into B.C. one of the fiscal rewards of the recession. Pattison showed that B.C. will work for low wages. The more low wage jobs created, and fewer higher wage jobs, the more inclin ed the population will be to accept the new reality of higher cor porate profits as a means of fighting out way out of recession. Expo paid half what Canada Pavilion paid, and Expo treated its employees as expendable. Expo was fully staffed to the end just like Canada Pavilion. But it spent much less. It took its employee uniforms back on principle: employees work for set wages. Pattison has helped B.C. workers, especially its youngest workers, to expect less. One wonders if Pattison is to spearhead the premier's idea for free enterprise sweatshops on the Lower Mainland. Canada Pavilion employees are happy. Expo employees are upset. Bui check those ballot sheets — they'll lell you who was right.
