WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY,. JULY 2, 1980. PAGE 15 Union angry about FnILShtie da A federal govermnent plan allowlng Finnish tire com- pany Wo come into Canada has angered union officials at Whitby's Firestone plant because the industry is in big trouble.- I think the governmnent has gone crazy," United Rubber Workers president Bil Love said last week. "I can't believe this. " Love, head of the 650 member union was reacting to an announcement by the Foreign Investment Review Agency (FIRA) that it had approved the application of Nakia Produets Lt.d of Toronto to import and distribute automobile and truck tire as well as rubber boots. FIRAs announcement was attacked by Waterloo Tory MP Walter MeLean who said that Nokia was being allowed into Canada at a time when Canadian workers are being laid offf because the industry is in trouble. The federal agency also gavie its blessmng to the company's proposal to set up joint operations with Canadian firms for the manufacturing of its produe- ts ini tlis country. In a statement issued at the time of the approval, _0_ ou ertFn HeIp your Heart Fn FIRA said that the company would bring increased em- ployment, product variety, larger exports as well as replace those products that are presently imported. McLean said that he raised the issue in the House of Commons because the government should flot allow european f irnis to locate ini I this country at the expense of the longer established U.S. subsidies. Lève said that FIRA's ac- tion, along wth the recent $42 million grant to Michelin in Nova scotia was just the latest series of moves that are 44sacrificing" the Canadian tire industry. "'It's almost as if it's part of a conspiracy to ruin the established tire plants ln Canada, " Love said.
