TWENTY-TWO PAGES GM Strike Date Set For Dec. TORONTO (CP) -- Employ- ees at General Motors plants in Ontario will go on strike Dec. 11 if no settlement is reached before then in a_ contract dispute. The date was announced by the United Automobile Work- ers of America (CLC) late Thursday, and was followed by a company statement express- ing the hope that union repre- sentatives now would be will- ing '"'to sit down and bargain seriously." The company said: "Now that the union has set this strike deadline, we hope that its representatives will be willing to sit down and bargain seriously to clear up some of the many items that still stand in the way of resolving issues which are of real importance to our employees.

Last Nov. 20, when the party itself defied a deadline for reg- istering, a department spokes- man said officials planned to wait at least until after the time had expired for officers to reg- ister before taking action. | That deadline passed at mid- night. Individual members of the party now have until Dec.! 20 to register under the law. PLANS TO ACT The government has indicated it plans to move against the party first. The law provides fines up to) $10,000 a day for the party for each day of defiance.

George Burt, Canadian direc- tor of the union, said in Wind- sor that if no settlement was reached a strike would take place "some time during the morning" of Dec. 11. TALKS BREAK DOWN Company - union negotiations over a new contract, which be- gan Sept. 12, broke down this week. Wages and working con- ditions are the main issues at Stake. A conciliation board report submitted Thursday stated that recommendations on the issues in the dispute would not be of| assistance to the parties. Union members last week voted in favor of a strike that would close plants at Oshawa, Toronto, St. Catharines, London and Windsor.
