The move effectively spelled the end of the Oakville operation. However, Short praised company execuâ€" tives who made the trip to Oakville for delivering the news of the shutdown "face to face" with plant employees. "I respect that. Even though they had an obligation to do so, it took a lot of guts to do that," he said. Short said the plant has originally been scheduled for a threeâ€"week summer shutâ€" down beginning Monday, July 26th. Instead, he said the first week of the what would have been the shutdown period will be used "for running the line blank, packing up stock and basically a phaseâ€"out of things." He said all employs will be expected to report to work on Tuesday, Aug. 3rd, folâ€" lowing the long weekend, "for some basic skills training" and to learn resume writing and job search techniques.

A time and place for the rally has yet to be determined, he said. Regarding delivery problems
