He also stated that the Union should be able to strike on the expiry date of their contract and that the use of injunctions in labor dis- putes must end.

Mr. Taylor said; 'With wage parity the big issue, we want to be in negotiations simul- taneously with the United States -- this means going to the bar- gaining table in July.
