Deal struck to end CAW blockade

A deal has been struck to end as early as Tuesday the blockade by workers of Meridian Automotive Sevices Ltd. on Henry Street -- but the company itself is not part of the deal.
The Xerox Corp. instead played the role of key broker during a motion at Superior Court Friday. Xerox, whose equipment and product was blocked inside the plant by workers demanding severance consideration by Meridian, worked two deals during court recesses to pave the way for an end to the impasse.
First, it off ered to pay landlord Brant Business Park $122,000 to secure the release of its property. That offer, representing the amount Xerox owed Meridian for its manufacturing services, was quickly accepted by the landlord's lawyer, who then left the courtroom.
