MAITLAND, Ontario—A strike by more than 380 members of Communication, Energy and Paperworkers Union Local 28-0 at Invista Maitland is into its third month, with no sign of a settlement in sight.

The chemical company is aiming to eliminate jobs by lengthening the workweek, and allowing unionists to be laid off before contract workers. The bosses also propose that certain shift premiums be canceled or reduced. Pickets reported that the company’s stance has only increased solidarity among the workers.
