Christmas as result of general slowdown in the car industry The plant scheduled to close for holidays from Dec 24 toJan 1980 will also be closed the week of Dec 17 because of lower number of orders than expected said Laurie Broughton industrial relations manager The majority of the plants 825 employees will be affected by the shutdown although some warehouse shipping and maintenance workers may remain on the job Broughton says There will be no new production during that week he added Because the car industry in general is slow with new car sales down and layoffs in car manufacturing plants the manufacturers of tires for new vehicles may be turning to the replacement market which is General Tires specialty Broughton explained He said competition in the replacement hat went to her

tollege local In vote last week the teachers turned down contract offer technically the final one to be offered by the counCIl of regents the governing body over Ontarios com munity college system But they also decid ed against strike action to back demands Doug tjaukroger presulent of local 350 of the Ontario Public Service Employees lnion OIsljl Said the voting against field is vicious leading the company to suspect that this is whats happening But the tire industry is generally extremely com petitive and it is difficult to determine what other companies are actually doing he said Bob Dennis president of Local 536 of the United Rubber Workers at General Tim said the employees are not all that enthused by the prospect of losing weeks pay but are not worried about possible long term layoffs at thistime Workers who live from pay cheque to pay cheque may suffer as result of the shut down but many are regarding it as an extra weeks vacation said Dennis He said the company showed courtesy by informing employees of possible shutdown as early as September when it saw that sales were down General Tire supplies retail outlets such as Canadian Tire and wholesale outlets Last year the company bought out Mansfield Denman General Ltd strike action after turning down the con tract offer took away the only bargaining tool left to the union If the regents do not make another offer there cannot be another strike vote taken according to the legislation governing col lege negotiations he told The Examiner to dav Its sticky legal question and the union is lookingintoit If the regents choose not to rcopcn negotiations the whole contract could be placed in limbo indefinitely Gaukrogcr said John Ward OPSEU spokesman said the union will likely ask the government to reopen negotiations on the basis of the memberships rejection of the contract by two to one margin Theres no reason why the government would begin negotiations again Gaukrogcr said Without the threat of strike theres no pressure Following the decismn by the teachers Gaukroger expressed disappointment In the decision not to provide the bargaining team with strike mandate Georgian was one of five colleges to vote in favor of strike should it prove necessary The governments offer called for per cent wage increase in year one of two year deal and 55 in year two The union wants to per cent in year one eight per cent and costoflivmg allowance in year two Gaukroger said the decision by teachers not to strike was motivated by desire to prevent disruption of the classrooms at the colleges
