be long strikc Stan St roix secretary of Local 722 tnited Rubber Cork Linoleum and Plastics Workers of America said workers went on strike over two main issuesma cost of living clause and union security it is the first strike in the unions lEryear history at the plant The last contract between the union and company expired March 31 St roix said the company is trying to remove cost of living clause from the unions contract The union obtained the clause when it sign ed its last contract two years ago St Qoix said and had been fighting for it for 15 years The clause was triggered to come into ef fect when the cost of living increased by seven per cent It did so in March but workers have not received any money from it St troix said The other main issue is union security and the introduction of continental work week continental work week means employees would work three days of 12hour shifts and then be off for lhrcedays The plant would re main operational seven days week The unions contract contains clause recognizing managements right to introduce such work week but states existing employees may volunteer but not be compell ed to work continental week St roix said the company is trying to make continental work weeks mandatory The plant worked continental week about four years ago but it did not work out and turnover in staff was high he said Workers at the plant do not want the week he said About 70 per cent of workers are female and mothers with children would have to work weekends he explained The number of twoday weekends would be reduced to two in six The longer shifts and work week 42 hours instead of 40 would mean husband and wife would have less time together if both are working St Croix added The union and company could probably reach an agreement if those two company demands were removed he said All workers are opposed to the proposals and voted 95 in favor of striking he said Tuesday workers voted 111 to 21 in favor of rejecting the contract Harvey Andrews president of Local 722 said he did not know when the two sides will begin negotiating again and the union is preparing for lengthy strike The union began strike fund last month and workers will receive $25 week beginn ing in the third week of the strike The strike will be difficult for workers St roix said The average wage at the plant is $399 an hour Workers at the plant make
