Original Toronto Star caption: Thin blue line: Striking postal workers shout abuse at several hundred replacement workers last night as grim-faced policemen escort them from the South-Central mail-sorting plant on Eastern Ave. in Toronto's East End to public transit stops where they caught a regular Toronto Transit Commission bus. The strikers also threw eggs at them as they left the plant.
