A4 CONTINUEDFROM THE WINDSOR STAR, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1982 Canadian UAW mum on demands off workers wba return to plants before Dec. 23 will be eligible for full Christmas pay. The Canadian workers are forced to get by on $65 a week strike pay. Continued from Page A3 Leach and Williams it will be before Christmas. It would probably be a big relief, Leach said.

I CERTAINLY hope so," then things will look brighter at Christmas, added Williams. i Chrysler has announced no new layoffs for next week in the U.S. The Canadians have been on strike since Nov. 5, after Chrysler rejected their demand for an imme Conservative bankbencher from Lakeshore, said striking Chrysler workers have misplaced priorities. If I were a worker at Chrysler Canada I would not be striking for more pay," he said in a news release.

I would be demanding automation of the plant and retraining programs for employees." Kolyn contends Ontario faces the imminent loss of its automotive industy unless it catches up with automation taking place in the U.S. tlement also could help the 4,600 laid-off U.S. workers if they are called back to work soon. Workers laid off due to the strike get only unemployment compensation, varying from state to state. They also lose some of their approximately $400 worth of holiday pay if they do not return to plants soon.

But workers laid off starting this week who are called back by Nov. 25 will be eligible for U.S. Thanksgiving pay. Laid- Both management and labor in Ontarios automotive industry are continuing to ignore the fact that the American auto giants are automating plants in the U.S. and not in Canada," he said.

These new American plants have the potential to meet the demand currently served by the Canadian industry at a cheaper cost. ANALYSTS estimated Chrysler is losing $15 million a week from the strike. A speedy contract set diate pay raise, saying the firm could not afford it. Talks broke off that day. U.S.

negotiations collapsed Oct. 1 8 on the same issue. U.S. workers voted against a strike and in favor of recessing talks until January. BUT TIIE union decided Thursday to resume the talks, and the move was welcomed by Ontario government leaders.

Industry and Trade Minister Gordon Walker said Friday he is "delighted the UAW and Chrysler are heading back to the bargaining table. It is precisely the thing weve been waiting for," he said. Before it was a Catch-22 situation with nobody feeling they could move without a total loss of face." Labor Minister Russ Ramsay would not comment directly on the talks, but said he was very happy they are resuming. ALSO AT Queens Park Friday, MPP A1 Kolyn, a NOV. 21 at 2 p.m.

Major county employers such as the county government are canvassed by other campaign divisions.

The countys school staff, and the south Essex area, have been replaced, said Malott, who spoke highly of his canvassers. CANVASSERS IN the Amherstburg area who quit Problems in the United Ways county campaign are being resolved as canvassers increase efforts to boost contributions. Two canvassing teams have quit and, with fewer businesses and employees to canvass because of the economy, the job for the remaining 300 county canvassers has been made more difficult, said Bob Malott, county campaign chairman. The county campaign has raised $37,259, or 45 per cent of its $83,500 objective. In the city-county campaign, $3,036,622, or 66 per cent of the original million objective, has been collected.

Malott said the county campaign wont fail for lack of trying.

Complete returns have been filed by only 100 so far, Malott said. The county-city campaign extension of two weeks until Dec. 3 will also allow canvassers to finish outstanding work, Malott said. Meanwhile, canvassers are appealing again to some people and employers. MALOTT SAID SOME employers have increased contributions by more than 10 per cent over last year.

County contributions raised to date with the objective in brackets are: Amherstburg-Anderdon-Malden, $10,582 Essex area, $4,862 north shore from erumseh to Stoney Point, $10,399, ($1 The separate South Essex campaign has brought in $1 7,689, 54 per cent of its $33,000 target. Contributions by major employers in Amherstburg, whose contributions are handled by other campaign divisions have increased, with SKDs Amherstburg plant the highest. Its pledge of $1 9,000 is up 22 per cent with fewer employees. CONTRIBUTIONS FROM Allied Chemical, the largest Amherstburg area employer, had already pledged $30,000, 10 per cent more than last year. The current srike wont affect employee contributions unless it continues on into the new year, said Ron Dumo-chelle, a full-time United Way campaign director.

Dumochelle said the United Way has to continue to remind county residents that they have access to agencies based in the city.

Joe Amort of the Better Business Bureau said he's received 40 telephone complaints this month about Windsor-bought decoders designed to view ON-TV's 20 broadcasts.

The problem is believed to affect a minority of the 20,000 or more decoders in use in the Windsor-Chatham-Samia area. Amort said be understands the Michigan station is Warehouse site issue postponed A rezoning application for a west-side warehouse the city says was built illegally has been withdrawn at Windsor Planning Board. Sheldon Schwartz, lawyer for the warehouse owner, said he will submit another rezoning application in the near future. But he refused to say how the new application will dif-; fer from the one withdrawn. The city says the Windsor Wholesale Produce Ltd.

warehouse on Healy Street, just east of Sandwich Street, was built without proper zoning and part of it may be on city-owned land. A stop-work order for a recent addition was issued because the owner had not taken out a building permit. Unless Gary Athavale, owner of the warehouse, is able to obtain a rezoning for the site to permit a warehouse, the city could order him to demolish the 24-metre (80-, foot) cold storage warehouse. A planning department report says the warehouse has been built in stages since 1976 without proper zoning.

REPORT CARDS ISSUED by NOV. 19, 1982 varying the strength of a control signal within its broadcast and a few decoders cant track the change.

Sometimes the picture slides and sometimes people complain it just ticks or shifts," he said. AMORT RECOMMENDS the purchaser discuss the decoder problem with the supplier. Fixes" may be possible but Amort warned some suppliers have gone out of business and not much can be done other than seek repairs elsewhere. Technicians said decoder failures have as much to do with the television set and the geographical area as the design of the decoder itself. If the television is in a weak signal area, or if the set is old and its sensitivity is borderline, the decoder may drop out when the broadcaster dips the signal strength of a particular reference tone which decoders require to synchronize the picture.

Viewers in strong signal strength areas seem to have few problems. WALTER RUBENSTEIN, of Contemporary Electronics, a piember of the Better Business Bureau, said a couple of his own-make of decoders were returned to his Ouellette Avenue store for adjustment to overcome the pulsing signal. Rubenstein said although he has willingly made repairs, hes had owners of equipment purchased from other sources tell him they are having difficulty getting their equipmemt repaired. Barry Powell of Powell Electronics of Marentette Avenue, another large supplier of decoders and a member of the BBB, said the problem arose when ON-TV began pulsating its pilot tone late in September. Powell said about 90 per cent of his decoders can handle the signal change but some, located in areas where the signal was poor originally, are failing.

POWELL SAID IN some cases a makeshift fix with an inexpensive part is possible but it will cost the price of a service cull to be installed. If a person bought a decoder six months ago, it is not the fault of the dealer that ON-TV changed its signal in September." The electronics specialist said he is working on a permanent fix to overcome the signal problem but it may cost as much as the decoder itself. It is estimated tens of thousands of decoders have been sold in the tri-county area to watch broadcasts from the Troy, station. ON-TV is not licensed to provide pay-TV service in Canada and it does not sanction the decoders over here. THIS FALL ON-TV introduced a new remote-control decoder box to its Michigan customers that allowed the broadcaster to turn on or off in homes the viewing of special programs such as the Star Wars movie.

ON-TV charges its customers extra for these specials. Few of the unsanctioned decoders in Windsor were troubled by this additional remote control code but shortly afterwards the second technique of pulsating the signal began. ON-TV spokesman Bill Wischman was not available for comment Friday. His secretary said he was in a meeting. AMORT SAID HES ALSO received complaints from Americans as far away as Texas and California who have purchased decoders by mail from Windsor only to run into problems.

A spokesman for Canadian Customs said about 20 decoders have been returned from the U.S. to a Windsor company. Video Gallery, that has gone out of business. After no one claimed the merchandise, Canadian Customs remailed the decoders to the purchasers, but it is believed they were seized by U.S. customs because regulations forbid the entry of the decoders into the country.

It is not clear how they got into the U.S. in the first place. 966-1190 Principal: A. H. Aitken, Sc.

The front employees would almost certainly be joined by nurses, higher-paid civil servants and Montreal transit maintenance workers, adding government offices and the Montreal bus and subway system to the shutdown list. On Thursday, Premier Rene Levesque threatened to impose a revised contract proposal on all public employees in three weeks if agreement is not reached at the bargaining table. Government sources later revealed the ne proposal includes a 1 C-per-cent reduction in the $521-million pay rollback it has legislated for all public employees for the first three months of next year. AS IT STANDS, THE rollback law would reduce all salaries by about 20 per cent The new government offer would alter the law so that the full reduction would affect only those making morethan $500 a week, with the lowest-paid public employees suffering no cuts at all. MONTREAL (CP) Quebec union negotiators appeared willing Friday to delay a province-wide illegal strike expected for next week, confirming they have drawn up a counterproposal in the face of government threats to impose a new contract.

The common front, which represents about twothirds of Quebecs 300,000 public employees, is witling to dis cuss wage concessions in exchange for job security guar-j antees and the rescinding of Quebecs wage rollback law, a union source said. Front spokesmen said at a news conference in Quebec City they are ready to sit down immediately to begin ex- ploratory talks, and will not meet to set a strike date before Nov. 27. But they reiterated any negotiation must be based on the withdrawal of the law rolling back public sector wages.
