TERRACE BAY NEWS Vol. 15 No; 30 August 2, 1972 15¢ Per Copy HYDRO STRIKE CONTINUES The strike by Local 1000 of The Canadian Union of Public Employees against Ontario Hydro this week became the longest labour dispute the Utility has experienced, said Jack Hamer, Area Manager for Ontario Hydro at Thunder Bay. "In 1969 CUPE Local 1000 staged a series of rotating strikes over a period of five weeks, but on Wednesday we surpassed that, " said Mr. Hamer, "The Union's actions this time can hardly be termed rational; for most of the strike , more than three- quarters of the 12,000 Union members have been kept off the job by the Union's strike director." Unfortunately, said Mr. Hamer, this strike action now means that in some areas of Hydro's operations neglect of routine work has created a backlog which probably won't be cleaned up until the strike comes to an end. In other parts of Hydro the strike action has resulted in no work being available for groups of employees. TRAILERS ROOFS Consumers' Association of Canada advises that lifting mechanisms for raising hardtop trailer roofs have to stand up to water, mud and dust and there- fore should be sturdy. Ask the dealer to demonstrate how the trailer sets up. Request advice on repairs in the event of a breakdown. Soft-top trailers use tubular supports to keep the canvas tight. It is of most importance fo inspect the supports, pivot points and adjustments, and look for adequate strength, durability and ease of operation. CAC Headquarters are at 100 Gloucester Street, Ottawa, Ontario. STOKES OUTLINES GOVERNORS" VISIT | am now in a position to outline in more detail the visit to Thunder Bay riding of the Honourable W.
