VAJLt 6, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4,1l98l1,WIIITBY FREE PRESS Firestone worlkers give up py figh It appears as though former employees of Whitby's Firestone Canada tire plant have given Up their fight for separation psy for 164 union members who didn't receive any money when the plant shut down in July, 1980. "'It's pretty well finished, " was the comment made by for- mer United Rubber Workers Local 494 presi- dent Bill Love after a meeting with 130 of the former employees. 1 It's a lost cause." The 164 workers in question are between the ages of 45 and 55 and were not granted either separation pay or early pension benefits when the plant was shut down. Earlier this year, the chairman of an arbitra- ep-frozen beef, Ioz. pkg.J Mrs. Smith's frozen 24.6 oz. pkg. apple crumb cake.. 1*89 unsweetened Sunpac.7 orange juice ......075.

Love said that the union had planned a second appeal but was advised by their law- yers that insufficient legal grounds existed to justify the attempt. "It looked like it was going to be a waste of money to pursue it any further," Love said. "I'm not too thrilled about not getting much for those people, but there's no way to turn. " Workers attending the meeting voted to have their supplemental unemployment benefit fund divided between the 164 former employ- ees in the 45 to 55 age bracket. Each of these people will receive about $750 of the $123,000 fund. "It's a pittance ....." was Love's comment. Should the union have won its fight for the benefit each of the workers affected could have received up to $5,000. Now they will have to wait until they are 65 before they receive their vested pension benefits. Love said that many of the 500 production workers who were per- manently laid off at the plant have foumid other jobs, most notably at General Motors. How- ever, many remaifl un- employed.
