Original Toronto Star caption: Mississauga fireman Len Hadley has won a fight to stay on the job after his employers tried to retire him at age 60. The case is one of three recent ones to Ontario involving compulsory retirement. Some authorities now are coming to the view that the tendency to lower retirement ages is undesirable for both society and the individual involved.

    Scotty Dunbar, a guard at Canadian Tire's Brampton warehouse, says the company's profit-sharing plan has given him incomparable security for his old age.

    He's staying: Canadian auto parts firms are making a mistake if they think moving operations to countries where wages are lower will cure their problems, says Bob Calder, new chairman of the Automotive Parts Manufacturers Association. Performance is as importance as prices, he argues, suggesting employers should join with workers to improve productivity.
