Original Toronto Star caption: Policemen start to remove; some of the pickets who sat on the roadway this morning trying to block across to the Becker's milk plant on Warden Ave. About 220 members of Teamsters' Local 647 are on strike - nearly 130 inside workers who walked out March 30 in a legal strike had been joined by 95 truck drivers who struck illegally. The drivers reached a legal position to strike yesterday; but it doesn't change status of the strike; officials stated.
