Original Toronto Star caption: Today at 8 a.m.; members of the electrical workers union picked up their toolboxes (right) and walked off the job; paving the way for a complete shut-down in construction that could go into effect Monday. The electricians did not set up picket lines; but builders said they would lock out all unions if any walked out.
