About 80 workers staged a demonstration Sunday outside the Legislature to protest the way they were laid off their jobs at the Canadian Broze Ltd. plant in Winnipeg. The layoffs came after the plant was shut by the provincial government because of high lad levels in the air. A spokesman for the demonstrators claimed the law states the workers should be paid in lieu of eight weeks notice of layoffs. The demonstrators were joined by Manitoba Federation of Labor president Dick Martin and NDP leader Howardawley (right), who hold the workers he plans to raise the issue in the Legislature.
