Police storm aircraft plant to free hostages in Montreal area
In Quebec near Montreal, police stormed an aircraft plant at Longueuil and freed seven hostages held by about 60 strikers armed with makeshift weapons. At least 35 arrested and five injured as riot squads moved in after hours of clashes during a 17 month strike. Dockworkers at 25 ports, including Montreal and Quebec City, began returning to work following a court injunction and a back to work order, though pay hikes fell short of demands for job security and shorter weeks.
