Show detail Hide detail

Statements by several speakers, one of them in French, about the decision to remove Hal C. Banks as president of the Seafarers' International Union of Canada. Mr. Justice Victor L. Dryer, Chairman of the federal Board of Trustees of the Maritime Transportation Unions, announces his decision to remove Hal C. Banks as president of the SIU. He explains that he will not answer questions from the news media because the matter is too complex to be adequately dealt with in such a short period of time. Another speaker states that the trustees are determined that this action will not affect the operation of the SIU, that it will continue its administration of the union under union rules and that it wants the SIU accepted back into the Canadian Federation of Labour. The next speaker makes a statement in French about Hal Banks' removal and the naming of Charles Turner as president and Charles Millard as adminstrator of the union. He explains that the decision of the trustees has been made in the interest of the union. <4mn 28s>
