In Oshawa, 98.6 per cent of the 9,000 assembly workers, members of the 13,000-member Local 222, UAW, favored the new three - year agreement. Membership approval in the locals at St. Catharines, Wind- sor, London and Toronto was reported overwhelming. Picket lines were pulled from GM gates here shortly before 3 p.m. yesterday.
