The rally was attended by some 12,000 members of about 30 labour groups, and was organized by the Onâ€" tario Federation of Labour, the president of which repeated his rejection of the provincial government‘s five point plan to protect workers involved in plant closings announced during the previous week. He said the program does not meet four major OFL demands: public justification by employers of plant closings; six months‘ notice to workers; one week‘s severance pay for each year of employment ; and complete pension portability. Opposition Members have strongly criticized the government for continually rejecting the recommenâ€" dations of the Status of Women Council. The governâ€" ment has turned down almost every suggestion by the Council, from legislating affirmative action to child care policy and equal pay for work of equal value legislation. Margaret Campbell (Lib. St. George) said: "In view of the deplorable record of this government in its own service, why doesn‘t the Minister instead of comâ€" plimenting these people who have worked so hard, simply tell them, as she no doubt will tell this House in a few months, that the report is irrelevant."
