Original Toronto Star caption: Climbing into his Rig; truck driver Frank Laviola knows his pay has been cut about $12 a week. He and the Other drivers at Wilson's Truck Lines Ltd. in Etobicoke voted to lower wages to prevent the layoff of 50 drivers. The firm's business has fallen off; partly because of peper mill strikes in the North.
