Original Toronto Star caption: It was a two-hour delay for some passengers waiting to collect baggage at Toronto International Airport's Terminal 2 last night as baggage handlers began a work-to-rule campaign in a dispute over wage in a proposed new contract. About 7,000 travellers on 240 flights in and out of Toronto used Air Canada yesterday; a lot of baggage failed to make connecting flights. [Incomplete]
