Rowntree, Ontario Labor Minister, Mr. Burt Wednesday raised the pos- sibility of a strike at Canadian auto manufacturing plants over the right to strike on speedup,|~ health and safety disputes, dur- ing the lifeitme of a contract. Under present legislation these issues are not subject to arbitration procedures. A Labor Department spokes- man said today that Mr. Rown- tree has "no comment". to make on the matter. In the letter, Mr, Burt said that the UAW is extremely dis- appointed in Mr. Rowntree's re- cent reply to a union request that the Labor Relations Act be amended giving such right to strike. The UAW leader wrote that General Motors of Canada Ltd. have refused to negotiate the right to strike 'because of the obstacles of your legislation," although GM employees in the U.S. have the right. Mr. Burt informed the labor minister: "Because of your failure to act promptly by giv- ing us relief through legislation it may be necessary to strike the auto industry during the next few weeks."
