Ford offers arbitration in Windsor labour dispute
Ontario Labor Minister Mitchell called United Auto Workers representatives to 3:30 p.m. talks to present Ford Motor Company’s six point plan for resolving the Windsor strike. The plan aims to place the dispute before an Ontario supreme court judge as arbitrator with a Nov. 12 deadline and a halt to picketing. The tentative deal keeps the Sept. 12 collective bargaining pact in effect until a new agreement is reached, with wage areas left to the War Labor board. Local 200 demands include union shop and dues check off, two weeks paid vacation, and higher overtime pay. A separate protest strike by Local 523, U E W A in Welland is also noted.
