St. Marys Cement strike continues
March 24th, 2010
BOWMANVILLE — A strike at St. Marys Cement’s Bowmanville plant continues, but a deal has been hammered out to allow trucks faster access to the site.
The approximately 100 Canadian Auto Workers Local 222 workers hit the bricks March 12. Pensions are the major issue.
Wednesday, though, the two sides did come to an agreement with regard to allowing trucks to cross the picket line. Each truck had been held up 15 minutes, beginning when it arrived at the picket line, meaning each one could be held up for several 15-minute periods, depending on how many trucks were ahead of it in line.
