Negotiations between Fittings Ltd., and Local 1817, United Steelworkers "got no place" Monday at a conciliation board hearing held in Toronto, Joseph Grills, Local 1817 president, said that the com- pany made no contract offers at the hearing. "They said we would have to drop our co-op- erative wage schedule demand before any counter-proposals are made by the company -- this means that we got no place." Walter Branch, Fittings Lid., personnel mcnager, said that no \progress was made at the meet- ing. "The dispute still > centre around the CWS issues," he said. "'No further conciliation board has been scheduled, that I know of, so the report should be handed down fairly soon." The CWS program has proved the main stumbling block in ne- gotiations which began April 1. If adopted it would mean evalu- ation and classification of jobs for the some 670 workers in the plant, with a wage-related pay scale. : Another major demand from the union is that the company Starr To Turn Film Director?

It was announced the club will sponsor a teenage music talent night next spring. The pupils of Oshawa's four second- ary schools and Kingsway Col- lege will take part.
