SUB-COMMITTEES MEET discussing working conditions and seniority this week, matters which have to be settled before the master negotiating commit- tee can meet to discuss wages. One union demand is wage parity with the company's United States employees which, counting fringe benefits, would give the Canadian workers an average of $1 an hour more, according to the union. Unofficial reports say GM has offered the union the same raise it gave recently to its U.S. workers, but did not agree to the union's demands for wage parity. UAW members have taken strike votes at Ford Motor Com- pany of Canada and Chrysler Canada Limited, but no dead- lines have been set. Negotiators are expected to await a GM settlemeni, which would set a pattern tor the Canadian indus- try. teting the building Friday.
