IA spokesman for Goodyear said that the Companyha Imade every effort to persuadei the Union to moderate Its de-, imands ln an endeavour to: reach a reasonable settlement. "The best labour agreement in the worldcIs 5meanxngless"' he said, "If you have no job because you have priced your- selves out of the market". Competition Is particularly severe in the Bowmanvillle Factorv where many of the products are custom made. As an illustration, the Company recently bid on a large con- veyor belt installation. This! was lost ta a British firm at aJ price 23 per cent lower than Goodyear. In another case a Japanese company obtained an order for a substantial quantityJ o! helts which was 46 per cent lower than G9odyear. The present average incarne of emnployees in the Bownan- ville Factory Bargaining Unit,J including value o! fringe bene- fit., provided by the Company4 is in excess o! $8.000 per year 1 The original Union demandEs would have Increased this figure ta $16.000 per year.
