She Times OSHAWA, ONTARIO, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1965 Passenger car assembly line workers at General Motors plants in Oshawa will work short shifts for the second day running today because of a wildcat strike by International Union of Teamsters members. Lacal 938 Teamsters' men have tied up transport in the Oshawa area with the strike against five major transport companies in the city. The wild- cat strike began Sunday eve- ning after a membership meet- ing heard a report of contract negotiations between the union and more than 80 transport firms in Ontario. Teamster officials said today that they are still working to get the men back on the job. 6-HOUR SHIFTS morning that the passenger car assembly line employees will work six-hour shifts on the day and night shifts. The short time is caused by the cut-off of the parts supply. The work force at the GM plants is expected to be back to normal working hours Wed- nesday. The spokesman said that the flow of parts from Canadian and U.S. suppliers will be: continued by rail transport. The wildcat strikes continue to spread all over Ontario but Oshawa is the hardest hit of all affected centres. Smith Trans- A GM spokesman stated this Wildcat Hits GM Car Line . McInally Freight-Ways, 'oods Transport, Direct Win and Inter-City. Truck About 50 workers tied up the Cooksville yards of Inter-City Truck Lines Ltd. Sunday night, and another 50 teamsters aban- doned work Monday at Consoli- dated Truck Lines in London. The walkout in London was brief and union officials said the drivers were back at work jg an hour of leaving their jobs. i The unsanctioned walkouts came after a stormy meeting in Toronto Sunday between teamsters and union executive. HEARS REPORT The meeting,was Called to hear a report on a tentative contract agreement with the motor transport industrial rela- tions bureau, representing 85 Ontario trucking companies. The agreement calls for a new four-year contract with wage increases amounting to a 64-cent-an-hour increase over a 42-month period. The teamsters want a 40-hour week, shift premiums and more vacation pay included in the new contract. A previous four- year contract expired Sept. 30. Teamsters now receive $2-an- hour basic wage and work a 48- hour week. Can't Be Set, The city cannot set a "magic formula" to fit every expropri- ation settlement, acting mayor Ald. Clifford Pilkey said last night. He was commenting on Ald. Richard Donald's query during a council meeting about the "formula" used to set expropri- yyy | ation settlements. Ald. Donald's question was prompted by a public works committee recommendation to pay Mr. and Mrs. Paul Chan, 328 Simcoe st. s., 14 per cent more than the appraised price, $10,600, for their property. He noted that two weeks ago coun- cil paid a property owner only 10 per cent more than the ap- praised price. P. J. Kennedy, parks, prop- erty and recreation commission- er, said 10 per cent is the usual formula in cases of forced mov- ing. Additional money was paid to Mr. and Mrs. Chan, he said, to help cover moving costs. "When you force someone out them some allowance," said Mr. Kennedy. of his house it is usual to give) gre: Expropriation Formula Says Pilkey Ald. Pilkey, who conducted the meeting in the absence of Mayor Lyman Gifford, said council must have a flexible policy; that council has to con- sider what the property owner can get with the money paid te him; and that council has to be fair without going overboard in making a settlement. He said in some cases there is no need to pay more than the a price. $ Ald. Donald, who said he was not arguing the Chan settlement, said if council pays more than the appraised price without hay- ing a formula then it is wasting money on appraisals. -- "T hope council will never get to mercenary that it will only pay the appraised price," said Ald. Christine Thomas. 'There has to be something on com- passionate grounds." She said some people are "suffering very badly from pro- ss' and mentioned a city offer of $7,000 for a house owned by an elderly man. saves vnc' Knoll Given | 'Safety Signs | A sharp knoll on Wilson rd. jn., in front of the Sir Albert |Love school will not be re- |moved, city council decided last CAMPAIGN HO ROUNDUP Voters At P New Democrat and Liberal jnight, i Ridin; The separate school board bavi agi ye ohn sending asked council two weeks ago to our leaflets and aiating hands have the knoll removed.
