Both union and naiage- mîent officiais appear te be onited ini their opposition te a wage rollback for 130 enployees cf Croven Ltd. by the Anti-Inflation Board. Last week the AIB ruled that a 13.6 per cent wage increase in the first year cf a two-year contract be rolled back te eight per cent, and an increase cf 6.34 per cent in the second year be rolled back te six per cent. The Ontario Labor Rela- tions Board infornied Croven that if the contract was rolied back the two parties should retorri te negotiations at the point wlîere they were when the coîîtract wvas settled on Jonc 2, 1976. Steve Ninigcon. internation- al representative for tue United Auto Workers Union. said he interpreted the ruiing te mnean that the co'ntract was void if there was a roil- back, and the union wouild have te consider negotiating a one-year settlement. The rolback, he said would cut the average worker s pay by 20 cenîts an hlour froml S4.48 te S4.28, and each employee would have to pay SI175 back to the company. wnten the union first heard cf the roliback it h1ad coin- sidered a strike. but notiiing deveioped wli ltilie Onîtario Lîbor Relations Board de- clinied to give a ru ling on the Imatter.
