Original Toronto Star caption: Auto workers picket in Oshawa; These striking General Motors' workers are all smiles as they gather around a bonfire of wood and tires they built on the picket line outside the company's Oshawa plant last night. The defiant Oshawa workers set the pace for the strike by walking off their jobs before 9 p.m. Tuesday; jumping the gun on the United Auto Workers noon deadline yesterday.
