--= Flamingo answers complaints (continued) when the strike was over. Both women also said that they were promised they would have jobs after the strike, when they were hired. Mr. Jackson said at the time of the meeting on October 15, the company's market warranted the work force then working plus all the employees who were on strike. . Flamingo's raised the price of twelve butter tarts from $1.09 to $1.39 on October 7 and Mr. Jackson said the _ effects of the price increase ® ® SE ® © = » hadn't filtered through the operation when the meeting was held. Since that meeting, orders for Flamingo products have been '"'reduced drastically" and as a result only one shift has been scheduled. Mr. Jackson said that some of the employees who were on strike have not been recalled yet because sales do not warrant the recall. Also, during the strike Flamingo Pastries was not able to supply all of its customers and Mr. Jackson said it will take some time to build sales up again. Mrs. Hamer said she worked for two months dur- ing the strike and was paid $2.60 an hour. "The main reason most of "the girls went to work during the strike was because they were promised jobs after the strike was over," Mrs. Hamer said. Mr. Jackson said that the whole point of the matter is that the girls who worked during the strike wére not dismissed, they were only laid off. Mrs. Hamer said that it was indicated on all the other girls separation papers that they were laid off, but that on her paper it said she was released because of "insubordination"'. Mrs. Hamer said she has always had 'a perfect work record and that during the strike she at times acted as a spokeswoman fqr the work- ers if there were problems with management. Fire destroys barn (continued) tration" on television at 1:30 P.M. when she looked out the window and saw the fire in one corner of the barn. It didn't take very long for it to spread, she said. Mrs. Van Camp said she managed to get through to the Caesarea fire depart- ment shortly after she saw the fire. The barn was half-full of hay when the fire began. Another neighbour, Neil Malcolm said that the fire spread so quickly that he doubted the fire could have been put out even if the department had arrived ear- lier. Sixteen-year-old Mike Gorny of Oshawa disagreed with that, saying that the fire department could have saved the barn if it had arrived earlier. He said it seemed to take for ever for firemen to arrive. As firemen were mopping up, another neighbour brought out coffee and cook- ies for the fireman.
