Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
labour dispute  stoppage of work  settlement of dispute 

Summary:

If it were not for the fact that claimant received strike pay until 1-7-89, I would find as a fact based on evidence that the dispute ended 24-2-89. However, in view of the strike pay, I am unable to find that the dispute ended earlier than 1-7-89. The question of when there is a termination of a stoppage of work is one of fact to be determined in the individual circumstances of each case. Here, it is clear that the stoppage and the dispute have terminated. The so-called obligation to negotiate nolonger has any meaning.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
labour dispute  stoppage of work  temporary measures 

Summary:

The stoppage of work terminated once there were no jobs for the employees to return to, the employer had resumed normal operations through permanent re-routing and automation, and the union has virtually abandoned the negotiations and is attempting to find new jobs for employees.
