Army to assist in strike watch

The army will have soldiers on standby to assist police if a strike by workers at Lakeside Packers in Brooks turns violent.
About 15-hundred workers are poised to walk off the job tomorrow.
Lakeside owner Tyson Foods has said it intends to process as much beef as possible during the dispute using mostly staff members willing to cross picket lines and union leaders have predicted violence.
Police say officials with nearby Canadian Forces Base Suffield will send in soldiers if things become particularly unstable.
