cable companies and their 300
IBEW employees have broken off
since a union request that it be
allowed to negotiate with Shaw
Cable’s two divisions separate
from the other five companies was
turned down by the employers.

Insistence by the cable com-
panies to negotiate as a block,
Morrison said, had left those
negotiations in limbo.

Following a March 26 decision
by the federal Minister of Labor
William McKnight to take no fur-

either ‘strike or lockout action
Thursday.

Morrison said the union wanted
the cable companies to agree to a
posiponement of any lockout pen-
ding ‘the outcome of a Canada
Labour Board ruling on its request
for separate contract negotiations
with Shaw,

But the companies, he said, were
unwilling to await that ruling.

“So it looks like there could be
an industry-wide lockout starting
Thursday,’ Morrison said.
