Canada Steel Plant Strikes Hamilton
In Ontario Canada's largest steel plant Stelco in Hamilton halted production in a wage dispute with the Steel Co of Canada and 750 workers. A strike vote by United Steelworkers led to a stoppage after six hours of talks. The union seeks a 23 cent per hour raise matching a 1956 package, arguing higher costs and profits justify more spending power to fight recession. The company, claiming inflation and high pay, offered a two year extension with some group insurance improvements under a contract expiring March 31.
