www.durhamregion.com THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, APRIL 23,2003 PAGE AS Sobeys, employees in for the long haul on strike No plans for negotiations in month-long strike BY JEREMY LE PAGE Staff Writer WHITBY - It's been nearly nearly a month since the start of the strike at Sobeys distribution distribution centre in Whitby, and there is no end in sight, say workers. "It's a staring contest, but we're not looking away," says employee Jerry Krastins, who adds "they'd have to close this place" before lie and his colleagues back down. The flame-red flyers being handed out by members of the Canadian Auto Workers Local 1090, read: "Outstanding "Outstanding issues arc seniority, job posting, layoffs... shift premiums, premiums, hours of work... overtime overtime distribution... health and safety issues, holiday pay- accidents, bereavement... standards and wages." Employee Ian Fleming says the company is still getting getting a few trucks through the picket line, but insists instead of the 100 or more vehicles loading up at the site each night, the number is down to about three.

SMUII0AÏ 7.30 (I'M, SUNDAY ll-SP.M, NE044AI03 11 2003 Sears Canada Inc says a contingency plan is in place to fill retail demands. Since other distribution centres centres in the province are not included included in the labour dispute, he says such sites have been called upon to fill the supply gap- Sobeys Ontario consists of 127 IGA stores, 35 Sobeys stores, 46 Knechtels, 45 Foodlands, 64 Price Choppers, Choppers, and 58 Food Town stores. Mr. Walker says there are no plans for negotiations and that the contingency plan can continue to support the stores without affecting the needs of customers. And so the staring fight continues, explain employees. "I expect to be here for awhile," says Mr. Krastins. "We're going to be stubborn. They might as well know that."
