MONTREAL — A fight by 450 flight attendants for a new collective
agreement at Nationair, Canada’s largest charter airline, is continuing
following company owner Robert Obadia’s rejection of a mediator’s
proposed truce, which sends the workers back to work without a contract.
The flight attendants, members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees
in Montreal and Toronto, have been locked out since November 1991. They
earn an average annual salary of $15,600, and have been seeking to
negotiate better wages and working conditions. The workers have
organized protest marches and spoken to scores of union gatherings.
The most recent rally on October 5 drew as many as 150 union members and
supporters to a protest in front of the Nationair ticket counter at
Dorval Airport in Montreal.

The murder of Major Ernesto “Che” Guevara by the Bolivian military
dictatorship is a grievous blow to the world struggle for socialism. But
the struggle will continue and it will inevitably triumph. That was
Che’s deepest conviction and history will affirm him.
History will surely judge him one of the world’s great revolutionary
figures. It will record his magnificent contributions to the victory and
shaping of the Cuban Revolution and his dramatic departure to carry on
the struggle in Bolivia. But it will say even more. Che’s greatness lay
in the totality of his revolutionary consciousness. He was a thinker and
a man of action. For Che the thought and the deed were inseparable.
His capacities sprang from his conviction that mankind could not lead a
decent life until imperialism and capitalism were rooted out of this
planet.

FLINT, Mich. — Auto workers of Chevrolet Plant 3, most militant union
group in Flint General Motors plants, took another big step forward last
week in winning production jobs and 15 cent hourly increases for all
Negro janitors.
The decisive factor in this victory was militant action mapped out by
the Negroes organized in the United Auto Workers, CIO, in support of the
union negotiators. The recently organized Flint branch of the
March-on-Washington Movement was centered mainly in that plant and its
action actually forced the management to capitulate to the union demands.
The group arranged for a mass march on the main office, with all the
Negro supporters they could muster in the city. This same group held
mass meetings of as many as 200 and 300 Negroes from this area, and
Chevrolet management knew of its influence and power.
