Original Toronto Star caption: Picket line fracas: Picketing postal workers and strikebreakers attempting to cross the picket line got into a shoving match with police officers at the Gateway station on Eglinton Ave. at Dixie Rd. in Mississauga last night. Workers in Metro and elsewhere walked off the job after Labor Minister Pierre Cadieux introduced tough back-to-work legislation in the House of Commons.
