Original Toronto Star caption: Clerks cheer firemen: Striking federal clerks cheer as firefighters drive past them into Toronto International Airport today. The firefighters returned to their jobs at noon; ending a walkout in support of the clerks that shut down the airport for more than 24 hours. More than 35;000 air travellers and hundreds of flights were affected. But the firefighters said they could walk out again.
